Eric Clapton Unplugs Again For His Lockdown Sessions

by Paul Cashmere on September 10, 2021

in News

Eric Clapton has put his anti-vaxxing to good use. Instead of playing live gigs, Eric returned to the studio to make his first acoustic album since ‘Unplugged’ in 1992.

Clapton called in bassist and backing vocalist Nathan East, drummer Steve Gadd and keyboardist Chris Stainton and grouped at Cowdray House in West Sussex, England for what is “The Lady in the Balcony – Lockdown Sessions’.

Two of the tracks ‘Black Magic Woman’ and ‘Man of the World’ are old Fleetwood Mac tracks written by Peter Green.

In February 2021 Eric Clapton’s live shows at The Royal Albert Hall were canceled due to the global pandemic. Determined to play, he brought his band together in the English countryside. In the absence of a live audience, he decided to record the performances. This release is the culmination of their sessions together at Cowdray House, West Sussex, England.
