Eric Clapton - "From the Cradle"

I bought this album during my freshman year of college. I listened to it a lot that year, as did several other guys on the floor who either had their own copy or borrowed one from someone who did. There are two songs on this album "Five Long Years" and "Groaning the Blues" that I tend to skip to, mostly because they both have great solos. I listened to this album regularly for a number of years, but when I got into bluegrass music I sort of stopped listening to blues. The odd part about my experience listening to it today was that I didn't enjoy it as much as I thought I would. It's no longer something I really enjoy listening to. Whether that's due to changing musical tastes, or that the album just doesn't stand up to a long term test of time, I don't know. You can listen and try and decide for me by going to Amazon.
