Reseña

El álbum Blues es una compilación que reúne algunas de las mejores interpretaciones de blues de Eric Clapton a lo largo de toda su carrera. Por consiguiente, este tipo de trabajos son un testimonio de que, más allá del pop y del rock, el blues ha sido siempre la piedra angular de su música. De hecho, es el lenguaje en el que el artista siempre se ha expresado con mayor autenticidad.

Por lo tanto, la selección de temas de un disco así es un recorrido por la historia del género. Desde sus explosivas interpretaciones con John Mayall & the Bluesbreakers y Cream, hasta sus homenajes a Robert Johnson, pasando por sus propias composiciones de blues.

Como resultado, el oyente puede apreciar la increíble evolución de Eric Clapton como guitarrista y como cantante de blues. Su dominio del lenguaje, su fraseo y su capacidad para transmitir emoción son, sencillamente, extraordinarios.

En definitiva, 'Blues' es un documento esencial para entender la verdadera alma de un artista. Es la prueba de que, para Eric Clapton, todo empieza y todo acaba en el blues.

letra de Before you accuse me
Before you accuse me, take a look at yourself
Before you accuse me, take a look at yourself
You say I've been spending my money on other women
You've been taking money from someone else

I called your mama 'bout three or four nights ago
I called your mama 'bout three or four nights ago
Well your mother said: Son
Don't call my daughter no more

Before you accuse me, take a look at yourself
Before you accuse me, take a look at yourself
You say I've been spending my money on other women
You've been taking money from someone else

Come back home baby, try my love one more time
Come back home baby, try my love one more time
If I don't go on and quit you
I'm gonna lose my mind

Before you accuse me, take a look at yourself
Before you accuse me, take a look at yourself
You say I've been spending my money on other women
You've been taking money from someone else

This is a mean old world, try and live it by yourself.
This is a mean old world, try and live it by yourself.
Can't get the one you love, have to use somebody else.

I've got the blues, gonna pack my things and go.
I've got the blues, gonna pack my things and go.
Guess you don't love me, babe, loving mister so-and-so.

Sometimes I wonder why can your love be so cold?
Sometimes I wonder why can your love be so cold?
I guess you don't love me, gonna pack my things and go.
Ain't that loving you
The Sky is cruing
Cryin'
Have you ever loved a woman

Early in the morningVer letra

[X]
letra de Early in the morning
When a girl reach the age of 18
She begins to think she's grown,
And hat's the kind of little girl
You can never find at home.

Come and see me early in the morning,
Just about the break of day.
Want to see me hug my pillow
Where my baby used to lay?

One drink of wine,
Two drinks of gin.
Pretty young got me
In the shape I'm in.

Chorus

I pass by the juke joint,
Look through the door.
She's doing the boogie-woogie
In the middle of the floor.

Dear Lord, give me strength to carry on.
Dear Lord, give me strength to carry on.
My home may be out on the highway,
Lord, I've done so much wrong
But please, give me strength to carry on.

Dear Lord, give me strength to carry on.
Dear Lord, give me strength to carry on.
My home may be out on the highway,
Lord, I've done so much wrong
But please, give me strength to carry on.

County Jail BluesVer letra

letra de County Jail Blues
They picked me up,
Put me in the county jail.
They picked me up,
Put me in the county jail.
They wouldn't let my woman
Come and post my bail.

Now I'm in prison,
I've almost done my time.
Now I'm in prison,
I've almost done my time.
They gave me six months,
I had to work out nine.

I know my baby,
She's gonna jump and shout.
I know my baby,
She's gonna jump and shout.
When the train comes in
And I come walking out.

Take these stripes from around me,
Chains from around my legs.
Take these stripes from around me,
Chains from around my legs.
The stripes don't hurt me;
The chains could kill me dead.

letra de Blow Wind Blow
When the sun rose this morning,
I didn't have my baby by my side.
When the sun rose this morning,
I didn't have my baby by my side.
I don't know where she was,
I know she's out with some another guy.

Don't the sun look lonesome
Shading down behind the trees?
Don't the sun look lonesome
Shading down behind the trees?
But don't your house look lonesome
When your baby's packed to leave.

Blow wind, blow wind,
Blow my baby back to me.
Blow wind, blow wind,
Blow my baby back to me.
Well you know if I don't soon find them,
I will be in misery.

Goodbye baby,
That is all I have left to say.
Goodbye baby,
That is all I have left to say.
But you have lost your good thing,
Go ahead and have your own way.
To Make Somebody HappyVer letra

letra de To Make Somebody Happy
Feel like someone's put the hurt on me,
And it's making me feel sad.
Feel like someone's trying to turn me away
From the good times to the bad.

Feel like someone's trying to teach me
What is wrong from what is right.
And I can't belong to everyone;
Let me stay with you tonight.

And I hope it makes somebody happy.
Lord, I hope it makes somebody happy.

This river's hard enough for me to swim,
But there's nowhere left to hide.
I ain't no swimmer but I won't give in
Till I reach the other side.

Repeat First Chorus

'Cause it's all to make somebody happy.
It takes us all to make somebody happy.

They call it stormy Monday, yes but Tuesday's just as bad.
They call it stormy Monday, yes but Tuesday's just as bad.
Wednesday's even worse; Thursday's awful sad.

The eagle flies on Friday, Saturday I go out to play.
The eagle flies on Friday, but Saturday I go out to play.
Sunday I go to church where I kneel down and pray.

And I say, "Lord have mercy, Lord have mercy on me.
Lord have mercy, Lord have mercy on me.
Just trying to find my baby, won't you please send her on back to me."

The eagle flies on Friday, on Saturday I go out to play.
The eagle flies on Friday, on Saturday I go out to play.
Sunday I go to church, where I kneel down, Lord and I pray.

Then I say, "Lord have mercy, won't you please have mercy on me.

I'm just a-lookin' for my sweet babe, so won't you please send him home, send him on home to me."

letra de Worried life blues
Oh lordy lord, oh lordy lord.
It hurts me so bad for us to part.
But someday baby,
I ain't gonna worry my life any more.

You're on my mind every place I go.
How much I love you, nobody know.
Yeah, someday babe,
I ain't gonna worry my life any more.

So many days since you went away.
I've had to worry both night and day.
Yeah, but someday babe,
I ain't gonna worry my life any more.

So many nights since you've been gone.
I've been worried, grieving my life alone.
Yeah, but someday babe,
I ain't gonna worry my life any more.

So that's my story and this is all I've got to say to you:
Bye bye, baby, I don't care what you do.
'Cause someday darling,
I won't have to worry my life any more.

Oh lordy lord, oh lordy lord.

Wonderful tonightVer letra

[X]
letra de Wonderful tonight
It's late in the evening
She's wondering what clothes to wear
She'll put on her make-up
And brushes her long blond hair

And then she'll ask me: Do I look alright?
And I'll say: Yes, you look wonderful tonight

We'll go to a party
And everyone turns to see
This beautiful lady
That's walking around with me

And then she'll ask me: Do you feel alright?
And I'll say: Yes, I feel wonderful tonight

I feel wonderful
Because I see the love light in your eyes
And the wonder of it all
Is that you just don't realize
How much I love you

It's time to go home now
I've got an aching head
So I'll give her the car keys
She'll help me to bed

And then I'll tell her
As I turn out the light
I say: My darling, you were wonderful tonight
Oh, my darling, you were wonderful tonight

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Kind Hearted Woman
Double TroubleVer letra

letra de Double Trouble
Lay awake at night,
Oh so low, just so troubled.
Can't get a job,
Laid off and I'm having double trouble.

Hey hey, to make you've got to try.
Baby, that's no lie.
Some of this generation is millionaires;
I can't even keep decent clothes to wear.

Laugh at me walking,
And I have no place to go.
Bad luck and trouble has taken me;
I have no money to show.

letra de Crossroads
I went down to the crossroads, fell down on my knees.
I went down to the crossroads, fell down on my knees.
Asked the Lord above for mercy, "Save me if you please."

I went down to the crossroads, tried to flag a ride.
I went down to the crossroads, tried to flag a ride.
Nobody seemed to know me, everybody passed me by.

I'm going down to Rosedale, take my rider by my side.
I'm going down to Rosedale, take my rider by my side.
You can still barrelhouse, baby, on the riverside.

You can run, you can run, tell my friend-boy Willie Brown.
You can run, you can run, tell my friend-boy Willie Brown.
And I'm standing at the crossroads, believe I'm sinking down.

letra de Further On Up The Road
Further on up the road someone's gonna hurt you like you hurt me.
Further on up the road someone's gonna hurt you like you hurt me.
Further on up the road, baby, just you wait and see.

You gotta reap just what you sow; that old saying is true.
You gotta reap just what you sow; that old saying is true.
Just like you mistreat someone, someone's gonna mistreat you.

You been laughing, pretty baby, someday you're gonna be crying.
You been laughing, pretty baby, someday you're gonna be crying.
Further on up the road you'll find out I wasn't lying.

Further on up the road someone's gonna hurt you like you hurt me.
Further on up the road someone's gonna hurt you like you hurt me.
Further on up the road, baby, just you wait and see.
