Eric Clapton and J.J. Cale – The Road to Escondido (Ruby Red and Sky Blue 2-LP Vinyl)
Product Details
Clapton had been covering Cale's songs since "After Midnight" and "Cocaine" made them cornerstones of his live sets, so this 2006 collaboration felt less like a superstar summit and more like a long-overdue conversation between kindred spirits. Cale's unhurried, swampy approach pulled Clapton away from arena polish and back toward the understated grooves that defined his most relaxed and soulful work.
The Road to Escondido is a collaborative studio album by J. J. Cale and Eric Clapton. Contained on this album are the final recordings of keyboardist Billy Preston. The album is jointly dedicated to Preston and Brian Roylance. The album won the Grammy Award for Best Contemporary Blues Album in 2008.
