Reseña
Con From the Cradle, de 1994, Eric Clapton entrega su álbum de blues más puro, exitoso y aclamado. En este trabajo, por lo tanto, el artista, tras el éxito masivo de su 'Unplugged', vuelve a la música de sus raíces, a la cuna ("the cradle") de todo. De hecho, es una colección de versiones de los clásicos del blues que lo inspiraron en su juventud.
En consecuencia, la producción del disco busca la máxima autenticidad. El álbum fue grabado en directo en el estudio, sin sobregrabaciones, para capturar la energía y la espontaneidad del blues. Como resultado, el sonido es crudo, potente y de una honestidad arrolladora.
Además, el repertorio es un recorrido por la historia del género, con espectaculares versiones de maestros como Muddy Waters, Willie Dixon o Freddie King. La interpretación de Eric Clapton a la guitarra es, sencillamente, magistral.
El álbum fue un éxito de ventas masivo en todo el mundo y le valió un Grammy. En definitiva, 'From the Cradle' es una obra maestra del blues, un trabajo que no solo es un homenaje a sus héroes, sino también la confirmación de que Eric Clapton es uno de los más grandes guitarristas de blues de todos los tiempos.
