When we updated our upcoming releases list on Saturday, we added the mysterious listing for a new Eric Clapton album, Old Sock.

It’s a mystery no more as the official announcement of the release came on Monday. The album will be out around March (March 12 is listed but the date is tentative) via Clapton’s own Bushbranch Records, distributed by Surfdog Records.

So, what else is know about the album? Not much. The folks at Ultimate Classic Rock have managed to find a track list which shows an album of mostly, if not all, covers. Among those shown (and we are assuming that it is not a bunch of songs that coincidentally share titles with other songs) are the blues classic Further on Down the Road, Ray Charles’ Born to Lose, Lead Belly’s Goodnight, Irene, the Gershwin’s Our Love is Here to Stay, Jerome Kern’s The Folks Who Love on the Hill and the pop/jazz classic All of Me.

We’ll add more information as it becomes available.

Track List:
Further On Down The Road
Angel
Every Little Thing
The Folks Who Live On The Hill
Born To Lose
Till Your Well Runs Dry
All Of Me
Still Got The Blues
Goodnight Irene
Gotta Get Over
Your One And Only Man
Our Love Is Here To Stay
