ERIC CLAPTON 461 Ocean Boulevard (RSO Records)

There are some terrors which are admitted to be more than human nature can face. Terrors of that order are experienced, of course, by every sane person.

Aristotle

From then on I became a devout Christian until this situation occurred — the triangle ... I still pray and I still see God in other people more than I see him in the sky or anything like that.

,Eric Clapton

Me and the Devil, walkin� side by side Gonna beat my woman til I get satisfied.

Robert Johnson

It probably seems presumptuous to call Eric Clapton�s first album in three years one of the most intensely religious recordings I have ever heard. But it happens to be true. 461 Ocean Boulevard contains some of the sexiest, slinkiest music Clapton�s ever played or sung, but it also has some of the most profoundly spiritual imagery in all popular music.
