Day 0306 - 461 Ocean Boulevard

Eric Clapton 461 Ocean Boulevard (1974)



After a long tour to support 'Layla and other assorted love songs', (resulting in a couple of live albums), and having kicked heroin, Clapton returned to the studio. The title of the album is the address of the house that Clapton rented near Miami to live in while making the album  Not surprisingly, the owners had to change the number of the house to avoid the fans who kept turning up to take their photo in front of it.

The music sticks to Clapton's usual mix of blues, pop and rock with a detour into reggae territory to cover Bob Marley's "I shot the sheriff"
