Скачать или смотреть Eric Clapton ~ Steady Rollin' Man ~ 461 Ocean Boulevard (HQ Audio)

Eric Clapton names Robert Johnson as his biggest influence. This is a cover of Johnson's 1937 recording "I'm A Steady Rollin' Man". It's really worth having a listen to it on YT. True Blues ~ gives one a sense of where all of our classic music come's from. Two very contrasting worlds indeed. I love 461 Ocean Boulevard & it makes sense to me that it reached #3 and produced his only #1 hit "I Shot The Sheriff". Quite the comeback album. I am not monetized by YT in any way. Please like and subscribe. Thank you & enjoy ♥
(Lyrics & info below)
I am a steady rollin' man
And I roll both night and day
I am a steady rollin' man
And I roll both night and day
But I ain't got no sweet woman
Woo-hoo Lord, to be rollin' this way

I am a man that rolls
When icicles are hanging on the tree
I am the man that rolls
When icicles are hanging on the trees
Why can't you hear me begging, mama?
Woo-hoo Lord, down on my bended knee

I am a steady rollin' man
And I roll both night and day
Steady rollin' man
And I roll both night and day
But I ain't got no sweet woman
Woo-hoo Lord, to be rollin' this way

Clapton is among several artists and bands who have been influenced by the Mississippi-born musician (Robert Johnson) who died in 1938 at age 27.
Clapton remembers first hearing Johnson's music as a teenager. "I was definitely overwhelmed, but I was also a bit repelled by the intensity of it," he tells NPR's Bob Edwards. "I kind of got hooked on it because it was so much more powerful than anything else I had heard or was listening to. Amongst all of his peers I felt he was the one that was talking from his soul without really compromising for anybody."
Clapton has been playing Robert Johnson for nearly 40 years and has recorded a few of Johnson's songs previously. "Me and Mr. Johnson"includes Clapton's version of nearly half the 29 songs recorded by Johnson in 1936 and 1937 in San Antonio and Dallas, Texas, including "Traveling Riverside Blues," "Milkcow's Calf Blues" and "Come on in My Kitchen."
"In one way or another, he's been in my life since I was a kid," Clapton says. He says the project "has been in the back of my head to do for so long. It was about time that I took my hat off to him." ~ NPR Music (2004).
