Average points: 5.15 (Reviews: 13) | ***** Klassisches Album mit schönem Blues, Pop & Country. Herausragend "Lay Down Sally" und das unübertroffene "Wonderful Tonight". | | ****** Unbeeindruckt von Trends wie Punk, New Wave und Discosound spielte Eric Clapton unbeirrt seine Musik. Das das Publikum so etwas hören wollte, bewies der Erfolg seines im Herbst 1977 erschienenen Longplayers Slowhand, nach 461 Ocean Boulevard sein größter Soloerfolg in den 70er Jahren. Im Vergleich zu seinen Alben seit 1974 ist auch auf diesen Werk nicht der geringste Leistungsabfall erkennbar. Ganz im Gegenteil, auf Slowhand präsentiert sich Clapton besser denn je. Gleich mit dem Opener, einer kraftvollen Version des J.J. Cale Hits Cocaine setzt er gleich Akzente. Ist das Original von J.J. Cale schon richtig gut, so klingt Claptons äußerst kraftvolle Version einfach nur geil. Fast könnte man meinen, J.J. Cale hätte den Titel extra für Eric Clapton geschrieben. Das der Meister auch die leisen und gefühlvollen Töne perfekt beherrscht, beweist er mit Wonderful Tonight. Als Singelauskopplung war diese wirklich schöne Nummer Mitte 1978 ein solider Top 30 Hit in den USA. Ein Top 10 in den Staaten war Anfang 1978 das launische Lay Down Sally. Und das völlig zu Recht, denn auch wenn diese Nummer anfänglich wenig spektakulär erscheinen mag, so offenbart sie doch recht schnell ihren Ohrwurmcharakter. Mit Sicherheit ist Lay Down Sally kein Highlight im Gesamtwerk des Eric Clapton, für die damalige Zeit ist sie aber wirklich klasse. Next Time To See Her ist eine schön entspannte und gemütliche Nummer, die man mit Sicherheit immer wieder gerne hört. Ein ruhige Nummer mit leichten C&W Touch ist Were All The Way aus der Feder von Don Williams. Den Kontrast dazu bietet das fast 9 Minuten lange The Core, das Eric zusammen mit seiner Chorsängerin Marcy Levy geschrieben hat. Die Gesangspassagen zwischen Eric und Marcy bieten einen sehr reizvollen Kontrast. Wer auf entspannten, toll gespielten, mit vielen versteckten Feinheiten gespickten Rock steht, der sollte sich diesen äußerst interessanten Titel unbedingt einmal zu Gemüte führen. Richtig poppig kommt E.C. mit der John Martyn Nummer May You Never daher. Das poppige, schlicht gehaltene Titel absolut mitreißend sein können, beweisen Eric und seine Band mit diesem hübschen Stück eindrucksvoll. Mean Old Frisco aus der Feder von Arthur Crudup bietet einen gesunden Blues, der so klingt als hätte ihn eine schwarze Bluesband im tiefsten Süden Amerikas eingespielt. Den Abschluß eines mehr als überzeugenden Albums bildet das harmonische, leicht verträumte Peaches And Diesel. Zum vierten Mal hintereinander ist Eric Clapton ein mehr als überzeugendes Album gelungen. Wie bei allen Clapton Werke der 70er Jahre muß man sich auch Slowhand mehrmals anhören, damit sich einen die ganze Klasse dieses vorzüglichen Albums eröffnet. Dann greift auch noch Jahrzehnte nach Erscheinen immer wieder gerne auf dieses Werk zurück.<br> | | **** sein 2ter vorname..sehr kurz ausgefallen, da wär wesentlich mehr drinn gewesen! | | ***** Laufzeit ist nicht alles. Qualität zählt. | | ***** Ohne zu zögern eine glatte 5. | | **** Cocaine und Sally ragen heraus. Ansonsten Ø. | | ***** Sehe ich ähnlich, die ersten (und auch mit Abstand<br>bekanntesten) 3 Songs ragen klar heraus, danach gibt's<br>bloss noch gepflegtes Mittelmass....<br><br>Ganz knappe 5.<br><br>(4.75) | | ****** Great | | ***** Fantastic classic album. When I was younger my parents used to play Eric Clapton quite a bit (both this album, and the album after Unplugged, can't remember the name of it off the top of my head) and I remember all of the songs fondly. Wonderful Tonight is Clapton's best song in my opinion it's so simple yet universal and has a great guitar line to pull the listener in. There are several good tracks on here that keep up the standard. A very good listen! 4.7/6. | | ****** Mit den beiden Vorgängeralben 'There's One In Every Crowd' und 'No Reason To Cry' lieferte er zwar auch gewohnt gute Kost ab, beide Alben konnten aber von der Popularität nicht an das 1974 erschienene '461 Ocean Boulevard' anknüpfen.<br>Das gelang ihm aber mit dem 1977er Album 'Slowhand'. Mit drei zeitlosen Hits im Gepäck ('Cocaine', 'Wonderful Tonight' und 'Lay Down Sally'), die auch heute noch oft gespielt werden, meldete sich Eric eindrucksvoll zurück.<br>Den Bluesanteil hat er auf diesem Album ein wenig verdrängt. Eigentlich ist nur Arthur Crudup's 'Mean Old Frisco' eine astreine Bluesnummer. Daneben geht aber die Musik bei Stücken wie 'We're All The Way' und 'Next Time You See Her' auch Richtung Country. Mit dem Instrumental 'Peaches And Diesel' bietet uns Slowhand dann am Albumende noch einen wunderschönen romantisch-melodiösen Abschluss.<br>Das Album erreichte 1977 #2 in USA, #23 in UK und #66 in D.<br>Meine Bewertung: knapp 6*.<br> | | ****** Bester Blues Rock Gitarrist | | ***** Very good album! | | ***** Starkes Album von Mr. Slowhand |  |  |
