Eric Clapton is one, quite easily and unerringly, considered one of the world’s great musicians in Rock. From his tenure with The Yardbirds to John Mayall’s Bluesbreakers, and on to Cream, Blind Faith, and Derek & The Dominoes, and then a successful solo career, Eric Clapton is one who has done it all in as many ways as it could be done. With his solo years, he created an outstanding legacy of classic albums that include Slowhand (1977), No Reason to Cry (1976), Behind the Sun (1985), and 19 other studio sets. One of those was Journeyman (1989). Journeyman commanded a multi-platinum heft that provided the Grammy Award-winning “Bad Love”, and “Pretending”.
On November 21, Eric Clapton will reissue Journeyman as a Deluxe Edition that will contain three previously unheard session tracks and an additional bonus track (for 4). Journeyman is considered by many fans to be his best album (Me? I consider No Reason to Cry as his best! And I cannot wait for an update on that set!)
A song from that set, the bonus inclusion of “Forever” can be heard below.
Journeyman will be reissued on CD, DD, and a 2LP package.
