I think it became fashionable for rock sophisticates to hate on Clapton in the mid-1970s for some reason. This one has the Band on alot of it, and Dylan on one track. What's not to like? Okay, the lyrics aren't profound, but it sounds good. Clapton's guitar solos are classy and restrained throughout, and it's got a nice groove to it. I stayed away from it for years because of the bad reviews, and spent my listening time elsewhere, but I get to enjoy it now in my old age I guess. And it has "Hello Old Friend" on it.
