WATER ON THE GROUND (3:00) OLYMPIC SOUND STUDIOS, LONDON December 28.1978 'Dfevously released on EC WAS HERE 41 diflerenl mo \ 3 Beginning with his electrifying debut with the Yard birds, Eric Clapton's commitment to the American blues music he so admired helped to forge one of the most compelling and successful careers in popular music. What made Clapton so unique was that rather than simply replicate the exotic sounds he had heard on blues discs, he incorporated the 1 emotion of the original performances into his own playing, expanding the vocabulary of blues guitar through his 5: aC. dramatic solos. The enormous success enjoyed by Cream, •Y k which Clapton formed after leaving John Mayall's Bluesbreakers, transformed the guitarist's parochial cult status to international stardom. Punctuated by his furious guitar work, Cream's winning combination of 4 whimsical psychedelia blended with fiery, highly amplified remakes of such blues standards as "Spoonful," "Crossroads" and "Born Under A Bad Sign" effectively consolidated Clapton's impressive standing. Clapton's post Cream undertakings were equally successful, as Blind Faith enjoyed tremendous popularity, white Eric Clapton, his first solo album, and the magnificent Layla And Other Assorted Love Songs by Derek and the Dominos each enhanced his reputation. By ufti 1971, however, despite his remarkable resume, Clapton had worn down. Despite their considerable potential, Derek and the Dominos broke up during the making of their second album. The group's dissolution had a decided impact on Clapton. Save for occasional ■/ session work and such special occasions as George Harrison's Concert For Bangladesh and the 1973 Rainbow Concerts organised in his honour by Pete Townshend, Clapton virtually retreated from public view for nearly three years. In April 1974, Clapton resumed his career at Criteria Studios in Miami, where producer Tom Dowd had been enlisted to organise the guitarist's first studio session in nearly three years. Dowd, who had engineered Cream's Disraeli Gears and Wheels Of Fire sessions and co- produced the brilliant Layla And Other Assorted Love Songs album for Derek and the Dominos, had been asked to help field the best possible rhythm section for Clapton. Dowd experimented with a variety of player combinations, pairing Clapton with such diverse talent as former Traffic guitarist Dave Mason, m bassist Jaco Pastorius, drummer Jim Fox from the James Gang, N bassist Harold Cowart *• -i from Cold Grits, as well as famed Booker T & A n the MGs drummer Al i Jackson. m 9 sJtvjn ■*>ar •' Even before Dowd had begun assembling musicians in Miami, Carl Radle, Clapton's longtime bassist, had been working to accelerate his old friend's return. By mailing tapes of prospective musicians to Clapton, Radle hoped to stimulate the guitarist's curiosity. Radle took particular interest in a group of players from Tulsa, Oklahoma who had recently served as Bob Seger's backing band. Keyboardist Dickie Sims, vocalist Marcy Levy and drummer Jamie Oldaker had backed Seger and contributed to the Michigan based rocker's popular album Back In '72. Shortly thereafter, the three parted company with Seger and made their way back to Tulsa. In early 1974, Radle summoned them to Miami, where they were formally introduced to Clapton. 11 / m Rounding out Radio's 'Oklahoma Pocket,' as Dowd had labelled them, was vocalist Yvonne Elliman, best known for her role as Jesus Christ Superstar's Mary Magdalene and guitarist George Terry. Terry had originally been introduced to Clapton in September 1970, during the recording of Layla And Other Assorted Love Songs. "George didn't have the confidence at that time to walk into the studio and start playing with Eric and Duane Allman," explains Dowd. "He stayed in the control room with me just blotting up the genius of those two players." Terry's opportunity to showcase his skills before Clapton would come 'ss * k when the guitarist heard of Dowd's frantic call for available musicians.
