461 Ocean Boulevard was Eric Clapton's comeback, the record that saw him returning from a struggle with heroin addiction to reclaim his position as one of the world's biggest rock stars. The 1974 album forms the core of GIVE ME STRENGTH: The ‘74/’75 Studio Recordings, a massive two-CD set documenting Clapton's mid-'70s recordings. The first CD is dedicated to an expanded version of 461 Ocean Boulevard [an expansion that is different than the 2004 double-disc Deluxe Edition] while the second CD is an expanded version of 1975's There's One in Every Crowd. It's a rather exhaustive overhaul of an era of E.C.'s career that isn't particularly storied, and all the extra material doesn't add mystique but it does re-create context, capturing how the mid-'70s could often feel like a long series of languid, meandering blues and reggae jams. All this drifting blues doesn't mean GIVE ME STRENGTH isn't worthwhile. Quite the contrary: this is precisely the kind of archival release that does deepen the historical record, revealing the extent of the guitarist's reggae fixation while emphasizing how quickly Clapton settled into a relaxed groove after his comeback. Sometimes the jams do wind up cooking but usually they're improvisation as mood music, smoke-filled superstar sessions where the intention is to play on and on until the night is gone. This 2CD Deluxe Edition includes remastered and expanded versions of two of Eric Clapton's classic albums from his '74/'75 sessions 461 OCEAN BOULEVARD and THERE'S ONE IN EVERY CROWD. It includes the classics, 'I Shot The Sheriff,' 'Willie And The Hand Jive,' and 'Knockin' On Heaven's Door' and has been expanded to a total of 35 tracks, including 6 that were previously unreleased. To top this off there are also newly written liner notes included along with photos from the period making this a must have for any Eric Clapton fan.
