Description
This album contains the satellite-broadcast highlights of the third Crossroads Guitar Festival, which was held three years after the second festival. This is the third episode, where I feel like young guitarists who have broken out in the scene have emerged with each successive episode. Doyle Bramhall II, Gary Clark Jr., Keb Mo, Johnny Lang and others are joining senior guitarists on stage in addition to their own sets. Both John Mayer and Derek Trucks are performing again (Trucks’ wife Susan Tedeschi also appears on stage). John Mayer appears in a trio with top-notch session man Pino Palladino on bass, and top-notch drummer Steve Jordan, who has played with Keith Richards and is also a member of the Clapton Band. It captures the finely honed performance achieved with the minimum number of members. Looking at it this way, I feel like I can understand the position of Clapton, who is widely admired by everyone from his seniors to his younger juniors. Steve Winwood will be participating in Clapton’s stage as before and co-starring again. In this year, Winwood performed Jimi Hen’s Voodoo Chile, which he played on the organ early in his career, with Clapton, who was a close friend of Jimi Hen. The feature of this festival is that you can see such moving stages as well as lively performances by young artists. Sonny Landreth is, in Clapton’s words, “the world’s most unknown slide guitarist, the world’s best slide guitarist,” and Clapton was heartbroken that people like him were being left behind, so he decided to perform at this festival. It is said that he requested. And at this festival, Clapton is also providing support. As a result of this effort, Landreth has gained recognition and become known worldwide since this festival. In addition to raising funds for his own business, Clapton, the organizer, probably had his sights set on revitalizing and interacting with the old and new in the blues and country worlds. You can tell that Clapton himself enjoys playing with various guitarists. It’s also great to see glimpses of the faces of James Burton, who was Elvis Presley’s exclusive guitarist, and Ronnie Wood of the Stones. The third episode is packed with highlights unique to this episode. Toyota Park, Bridgeview, Illinois, USA 26th June 2010 PRO-SHOT 1. Promise Land (Sonny Landreth with Eric Clapton) 2.
