Eric Clapton is back working with producer Glyn Johns for his latest album ‘I Still Do’.
Johns produced Clapton’s ‘Slowhand’ in 1977 and ‘Backless’ in 1978 and crafted the sound behind the classics ‘Lay Down Sally’, ‘Wonderful Tonight’, ‘Cocaine’, ‘Promises’ and ‘Tulsa Time’ for Eric.
One of Johns’ first productions was a still unreleased ‘Good Times’ album for Australia’s The Easybeats. The title track was released in Australia and reached no 22 in 1968.
Johns immediately worked on the first two albums for the Steve Miller Band before taking charge of the debut Led Zeppelin album in 1969.
His 70’s innings included working with The Rolling Stones (Get Yer Ya Yas Out’, The Who ‘Who’s Next’, Faces ‘A Nod Is As Good As A Wink’, Eagles ‘Eagles’ and ‘Desperado’ as well as Boz Scaggs, Humble Pie, Ozark Mountain Daredeveils and Gallagher & Lyle, all before Clapton’s ‘Slowhand’.
“This was a long and overdue opportunity to work with Glyn Johns again, and also, incidentally, the fortieth anniversary of ‘Slowhand’” said Eric Clapton.
The album artwork for ‘I Still Do’ was created by Sir Peter Blake who designed the ‘Sgt Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band’ cover for The Beatles as well as Paul Weller’s ‘Stanley Road’ and The Who’s ‘Face Dances’.
Eric Clapton ‘I Still Do’ will be available on May 20, 2016.
