Eric Clapton Youtube Blues – Outside Woman Blues
My introduction to the Cream featuring Eric Clapton, Jack Bruce and Ginger Baker was in 1969, I was 13 years old and just discovering music. By 1970 I had inherited four albums, Jimi Hendrix – Are You Experienced, John Wesley Harding by Dylan, Hurdy Gurdy Man by Donovan and Disraeli Gears by the Cream. To this day I’m still spooked by the Tales of Brave Ulysses of the Gears album, but another song that really caught my ears back then was Outside Woman Blues. So to get hold of a version by Clapton doing the tune on acoustic, really brings the tune into context and shows the underlying thinking behind the song. This is a tremendous song to add to an acoustic blues repertoire and it’s reasonably simple …if you can already play.

And some say that Eric Clapton is the worlds best guitar player. In the sixties, there used to be graffiti that said Eric Clapton is God… a little different from the worlds best guitar player
