It is a blues cover album. Released on 13 September 1994 (see 1994 in music) by Warner Bros. Records,〔 the album was Clapton's long-awaited follow-up to his massively successful 1992 live album, ''Unplugged''. Per the liner notes, "This is a live recording with no overdubs or edits except for dobro overdub on 'How Long Blues' and drum overdub on 'Motherless Child'." Although he had long been associated with the blues, ''From the Cradle'' was Clapton's first attempt at an all-blues album. He would subsequently record ''Riding with the King'' with B. B. King; a tribute to Robert Johnson, ''Me and Mr. Johnson''; and a collaboration with J.J. Cale, ''The Road to Escondido''. == Critical reception == ''From the Cradle'' has prompted a wide range of critical response. Many questioned the title itself as Clapton learned the blues formula from records later in life and certainly was not exposed to Black culture "from the cradle", although the title likely refers to the saying "from the cradle to the grave". Stephen Thomas Erlewine of Allmusic feels that the album is almost perfect and that the only thing bad about the album is Clapton's singing, which merely imitates the original recordings and sometimes can't pull it off.〔 Tom Sinclair of ''Entertainment Weekly'' felt that the recordings were "flawless" but were rather boring, especially when compared to the excitement of Cream's live version of "Spoonful".〔 ''The Music Box'' In July 2014, ''Guitar World'' placed ''From the Cradle'' on their list "Superunknown: 50 Iconic Albums That Defined 1994". 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「From the Cradle」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
