Clapton is one of my guitar heros!  Will have to check this out. Lots of Christmas music in our home around the holidays. Thanks for sharing this!

Wow, this is way out of Clapton's comfort level. Wonder what's up!??!

I'm a huge fan, but wondering if at 73yo he's simply run out of creative juices?

Features Holiday Classics Along With An Original Holiday Song "For Love On Christmas Day" Eric Clapton has announced his first ever full-length studio holiday album, Happy Xmas, set for release on October 12th on Clapton’s Bushbranch Records/Surfdog Records.  Happy Xmas is Clapton’s 24th studio album and his first since 2016’s “I Still Do.” It mixes instantly recognizable holiday classics with lesser-known unique titles along with an original new song “For Love On Christmas Day.”  The album also features cover art illustration by Clapton himself.    "I had in my head that these holiday songs could be done with a slight blues tinge, and I started to figure out how to play the blues lines in between the vocals,” said Clapton, who co-produced Happy Xmas with longtime music producer Simon Climie. “I got it down and one of the most identifiable songs on the album, the one that became the foundational style, is ‘Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas’.” To pre-order Happy Xmas, follow these links: Amazon – LP: http://a.co/adE2Y37 Amazon – CD: http://a.co/7id8PgS Deluxe Box Set: https://bit.ly/2MSXt89 Track List 01.

I think this is pretty cool.  Look forward to hearing this side of Clapton.  Thanks for sharing.

I pre-ordered the deluxe box set but I'm not getting my hopes up for a great album. His health has been deteriorating ( neuropathy , tinnitus ) and he claims that his hands just about work. I will be seeing him at MSG in October. Hate to see him go out like this but he's still a living legend.
