THE ERIC CLAPTON REMASTERS Series.
BACKLESS is the sixth full-length studio album by Eric Clapton. Produced by Glyn Johns, and released by RSO Records. It was Clapton's last studio album to feature his longtime bassist Carl Radle who died in 1980. Having made his best album since 461 Ocean Boulevard with Slowhand, Eric Clapton followed with BACKLESS, which took the same authoritative, no-nonsense approach. If it wasn't quite the masterpiece, or the sales monster, that Slowhand had been, this was probably because of that usual Clapton problem: material. Once again, he returned to those Oklahoma hills for another song from J.J. Cale, but "I'll Make Love To You Anytime" wasn't quite up to "Cocaine" or "After Midnight." Bob Dylan contributed two songs, but you could see why he hadn't saved them for his own album, and Clapton's own writing contributions were mediocre. Clapton did earn a Top Ten hit with Richard Feldman and Roger Linn's understated pop shuffle "Promises," but it wasn't one of his more memorable recordings. Of course, Clapton's blues playing on the lone, obligatory blues cut, "Early In The Morning," was stellar. BACKLESS was his last album to feature the backup group that had been with him since 1974.
PERSONNEL: Eric Clapton – guitars, lead vocals; Dick Sims – keyboards; George Terry – guitars; Carl Radle – bass, backing vocals; Jamie Oldaker – drums, percussion, backing vocals; Marcy Levy – backing vocals; Benny Gallagher and Graham Lyle – backing vocals.
After Slowhand , Clapton came up with another big winner, this #8 smash from '78. He cracked the Top 40 with Promises and Watch Out For Lucy, sang songs by Dylan and J.J. Cale and returned to the blues with Early In The Morning! BACKLESS is a non-essential Eric Clapton album. It’s fine if you happen to own a copy but don’t feel obligated to run out and make a purchase if it is not part of your collection. In many ways, BACKLESS is a continuation of BACKLESS lacked the quality songs that made Slowhand so successful (“Cocaine”, “Lay Down Sally”, “The Core) and a new musical direction was badly needed. Clapton recognized this as well and experimented with a quartet for the first time since Derek and the Dominos before adding guitarist Albert Lee to the mix. He finally fired Radle, Oldaker, and Sims in 1979 and recruited keyboardist Chris Stainton, d. It features more or less (particularly less) the same musicians that Clapton had been recording and performing with since 1974 although the sound of the group is certainly enervated by this stage. The material is similar to that found on Slowhand as well. A composition appropriated from the Don Williams camp, another J.J. Cale cover, an obligatory blues number, a pair of Bob Dylan songs which he co-wrote with Helena Springs (sic) one of his back-up singers/paramours; and four originals including one co-written with Marcy Levy. This album is VERY underrated. Sure, Eric Clapton is laid back on the album, but that allows for the album to have some very beautiful songs, very much absent in his early years before the Dominoes. The best songs on the album would have to be Promises, Tulsa Time, and Early In The Morning, but Roll It and Watch Out For Lucy are fast-paced and worth a listen no doubt. BACKLESS lacked the quality songs that made Slowhand so successful (Cocaine, Lay Down Sally, The Core) and a new musical direction was badly needed. Clapton recognized this as well and experimented with a quartet for the first time since Derek And The Dominos before adding guitarist Albert Lee to the mix. He finally fired Radle, Oldaker, and Sims in 1979 and recruited keyboardist Chris Stainton, drummer Henry Spinetti, and bassist Dave Markee.
