Eric Clapton’s Twelfth Solo Album ‘From The Cradle’ Was Released 30 Years Ago Today
From the Cradle is the twelfth solo studio album by Eric Clapton released on 13 September 1994. A blues cover album and Clapton’s follow-up to his successful 1992 live album, Unplugged.
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.
