Eric Clapton / Nothing But The Blues

Nothing But The Blues features previously unreleased Eric Clapton live performances which “serve as a vital counterpart to From The Cradle, which was recorded in the studio. Several songs appear on both (‘Motherless Child’, ‘Standing ‘Round Crying’, and ‘I’m Tore Down’), but the performances are entirely different. The release also includes songs that did not appear on From the Cradle, including Jimmy Rogers’, ‘Blues All Day Long’, and Robert Johnson’s ‘Malted Milk’, as well as the standards ‘Every Day I Have The Blues’ and ‘Forty-Four’. The box set includes the documentary on blu-ray, the soundtrack on both vinyl and CD, a bonus CD with four extra tracks, a hardcover book, memorabilia, including a numbered lithograph, 12×24 poster, Clapton guitar string set, custom guitar picks, and “an exclusive bandana”.
