Live, intimate, and raw, Sessions For Robert J is the essential audio/video companion to Eric Clapton's 2004 gold, Top 10 Me And Mr. Johnson, tribute to blues legend Robert Johnson. Filmed during tour rehearsals in London and Dallas plus a Los Angeles hotel room and the Dallas warehouse where Johnson made some of his final recordings, Sessions for Robert J finds Clapton performing all Robert Johnson songs with his touring band, acoustically with Doyle Bramhall II and solo-as well as discussing Johnson and his influence. A performance/documentary DVD with 14 tracks (from which the 11 CD selections are taken), Sessions for Robert J is blues heaven. If it were possible to wear out a DVD, this badboy would have been toast a long time ago. This double disc set is a must have.
Terraplane Blues - Eric and Doyle run through this song like a sharp knife through watermelon - they absolutely nail it! I would have paid the 20 bucks just to have this one song! Historical note: this song was actually performed by Eric in the same Dallas Texas hotel third floor where Johnson originally recorded it in the 1930's! In any case, Eric's vocal is simply amazing!
I will post the Robert Johnson original in comments
