Sobre el álbum
El título Blues Power se refiere, con toda probabilidad, a una compilación o a un álbum en directo centrado en la faceta más poderosa y enérgica de Eric Clapton como músico de blues-rock. Este tipo de trabajos son una celebración de su increíble virtuosismo a la guitarra. La canción "Blues Power" es una de sus piezas más emblemáticas de su primer álbum en solitario.
La selección de temas de un disco así estaría repleta de largos y apasionados solos de guitarra. Incluiría versiones en directo de sus grandes clásicos del blues y del rock, en las que el artista y su banda se lanzan a la improvisación.
La escucha sería una experiencia eléctrica, un testimonio de la increíble energía que Eric Clapton era capaz de generar sobre un escenario.
'Blues Power' es un título que define a la perfección a un artista. Es la quintaesencia del poder del blues, un género que Eric Clapton ha defendido y ha engrandecido durante toda su vida.

Letra
Oh Louise, yes you're the sweetest girl I know Don't you know now Louise, you are the sweetest girl that I know You made me run from Chicago Oh, to the Gulf of Mexico Now you know Louise She's like a rolling stone Every time she leave a man He has to grieve alone Oh Louise, why don't you hurry home? You know, I never had no good loving Oh Louise, since you've been gone Got a girl called Mamie Treat me nice and kind I don't care what she do Because Louise is on my mind Louise ain't so good looking And her hair ain't red But she cooks my breakfast And I bring it to my bed Oh Louise, why don't you hurry home? Oh Louise, why don't you hurry home? You made me run from Chicago Oh, to the Gulf of Mexico - You Can't Judge A Book By Looking At The Cover

Boom, boom, boom, boom. I'm gonna shoot you right down, Knock you off of your feet, And take you home with me. Put you in my house. Boom, boom, boom, boom. Boom, boom, boom, boom. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I love to see you strut When you're walking to me. When you're talking to me, That knocks me out. Boom, boom, boom, boom.

Oh, oh, oh, oh. How, how, how, how. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Now, now, now, now. - Honey In Your Hips
Letra
When I get out on the dancing floor, There ain't no stopping for an hour more. I go rocking up and down and around and round. I go reeling to the beat of that crazy sound. I can't stop, I want to kiss your pretty lips, 'Cause I know, pretty babe, you got honey in your hips. I can't stop my feet and I can't stop my hands When I hear the sound of a rock 'n' roll band. Gotta rock, gotta roll, gonna jump and shout; Nobody better come and turn me out. I'm staying all night till I get my kicks, 'Cause you know, pretty babe, you got honey in your hips. I want you and you want me. We're gonna dance all night till we both feel free. We'll shake and we'll shimmy right across the floor. When it gets late, we'll dance out the door. You better get ready with your pretty lips, 'Cause you know, pretty babe, you got honey in your hips. - Talkin' About You
