"This was the realization of what may have been my last ambition, to work with the man whose music has inspired me for as long as I can remember; there are not enough words for me to describe what he represents to me, musically and personally...I think it's enough to say that we had fun, made a great record, and I for one already want to make another, " said Eric Clapton.Eric Clapton and J.J. Cale have recorded their first album of original songs together. The album's fourteen songs feature eleven originals by J.J. Cale, one original by Clapton, one song by John Mayer and a cover of the blues classic "Sporting Life Blues."
