Eric Clapton's solo career was built right down the middle of the road on crafty song selections, and this 12-song set features the most commercial of those choices, with radio-ready versions of Bob Marley's I Shot the Sheriff and J.J. Cale's After Midnight and Cocaine, among others, but he also wrote some solid tunes, too, that fit with his laid-back but distinctive vocal style, including Wonderful Tonight and Let It Rain (co-written with Bonnie Bramlett), and a pair of absolute gems from his Derek & the Dominos period, Bell Bottom Blues and the gorgeous, iconic Layla, which are also compiled here. The end result is a nice portrait of a rock guitarist settling into his middle years with some of the fire gone but a good deal of grace left.
