Yep, & wiith a good deal more technical skill it has to be said - although JJ Cale does show that simple can be just as good.
I know what you mean, although I recently watched the Cream reunion concert and thought Clapton was peerless. I much prefer him when he plays rock based, rather than blues based, stuff.
thanks for posting as I'd entirely forgotten this track. In the "you learn something every day" dept, JJ used a drum machine on this track, it was an Ace Tone, a company that later emerged to be called Roland.
