Yet Another Unqualified Success!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 12, 2013

Verified Purchase

After entering the 1980's with two more highly successful albums for Polydor (the
live double-album set Just One Night in 1980 and the true favourite Another Ticket in
1981) and a several live appearances (including one held by Amnesty International),
Eric Clapton switched over to Warner Bros' that started with the making of this back-
to-basics masterwork. For Money And Cigarettes, released in 1983, The Guitar God
would prove to another generation of listeners that he still had what it takes where he
showcase a visceral mixture of laid-back rock and roll and down home blues in which
he heralds an appealing low-key effort. Featuring the Top 20 hit I've Got A Rock And
Roll Heart, many of his blues fans were pleased with his slick covers for Sleepy John
Estes' Everybody Oughta Make A Change, Albert King's Crosscut Saw and even the
Johnny Otis classic Crazy Country Hop, while it features high-powered appearances
from some of his old friends such as Ry Cooder, Albert Lee and Donald "Duck" Dunn
(of Booker T' And The M.G's fame). Even though Money And Cigarettes did received
a mixed reception from the critics and the public right upon it's release, it was eligible
to enough to become another success for him and as a result it's hailed as one of his
finest works. Instead of being a empty exercise in studio professionalism, this labour
of love is an appealing low key effort that also features some of the smoothest blues
and rock and roll performances Clapton had ever played. So, here is another classic
album that he will always be remembered for, as this blues-rock tour de force will live
on as yet another testament for Clapton's groundbreaking legacy.

A solid latter-day effort from one of EC's transitional periods.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 11, 2007

Verified Purchase

By this point in Eric's career, his legacy as one of rock 'n' roll's all time great guitarists was secure and in tact. He had traveled a long way since the so-called "power trio" extended jams of the Cream era, and had little to prove in that regard. So, he ventured off in search of a more pastoral approach to his music. Between 1975-80 he exploited the growth of the country cross-over phenomenon in popular music by donning a checkered vest and playing songs like "Tulsa Time". This was an astute move seeing that neither punk nor disco was a viable option for him at the time. However, the country troubadour schtick did eventually wear thin, at a time when popular music was transitioning away from guitar-based music in favor of drum machines, synthesizers, and guys with too much mousse in their hair. Eric took the high road into adult contemporary music, choosing to play rather light and relaxed pop songs typically built around a simple blues or country guitar riff (see "Everybody Oughta Make A Change", which has a feel to it reminiscent of the "Barney Miller" TV theme). He would continue to refine this formula with mixed results until 1989's "Journeyman" release, which was clearly the apex of this period (although "Behind the Sun" and "August" each had their moments). Additionally, he began to approach his singing as something more than an afterthought, as is evidenced on songs such as "Pretty Girl".
This record finds Clapton seemingly in a peaceful, mature state of mind (although, after reading his biography it appears that his drinking continued unabated). So, for a relaxed (albeit not particularly engaging) listen, try this one out in the car. It sounds good in surround sound, and might prevent road-rage.

Footnote: The highlight of this disc is probably the lively cut "The Shape Your In" which features a little guitar duel between Clapton and his amigo Albert Lee (a B-list star in his own right). The title of the disc "Money and Cigarettes", which was probably nothing more than a description of what Eric had in his pocket at the time (heck, why not just call the album "Lint"?), appears to be an indicator of EC's attitude about the project.

Eric and his sidemen

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 10, 2007

Verified Purchase

Short Story; Five great songs and no major turds...easily Eric's strongest outing of the 1980s. Very well remastered, too!

Long Story; The chorus of Crazy Country Hop features they lyrics "Ooh-weee, oh-oh...Oooh la, la, let's rock and roll". A brief discussion broke out among Eric and his sidemen about whether these profoundly fruity lyrics compromised their manhood. They were interrupted by the phone outside the control room. Eric answers and then turns to his band, "Hey guys, my smokin' hot supermodel wife Pattie Boyd is callng from the $1.50/minute car-phone in my Lamborghini Countach. She's in the McDonald's drive-thru and wants to know what you guys want on your Big Macs." Needless to say, it was then decided by unanimous vote that the Oooh la-la lyrics were not a problem for men in their situation.

Don't even think about bothering me with a rant about how profoundly inaccurate my story is.

Clapton's First CD For Warner Brothers Is A Classic

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 20, 2005

Verified Purchase

MONEY AND CIGARETTES, Eric Clapton's first CD for his new label, Warner Brothers Records, is a classic in the vein of his previous four Polydor albums and 461 OCEAN BOULEVARD. With Donald "Duck" Dunn of Booker T. & The MGs on bass and Tom Dowd once again producing, Clapton puts out a low-key set of classic blues-rock and soul. On "The Shape You're In", he warns his wife of the dangers of her alcoholism, whereas "Ain't Going Down" is about perseverance in the face of adversity, and "I've Got A Rock And Roll Heart" celebrates the music itself. Even though this album tanked commercially, becoming his first in several years not to go gold, it's still classic Clapton.

Must Have For Die Hard

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 1, 2013

Verified Purchase

Im a huge Clapton fan so for me any Clapton album is a must have. I bought this on vinyl after buying it on itunes a few months ago, but I havent listened to it much since. Its a decent Clapton album, but as most know, his sound sort of got lost in the 80's only to be found again with the "Journeyman" album. Still worth getting for a fan though.

The music of Eric Clapton on this album is very good. All Eric Clapton up to 1990 is enjoyable, entertaining, and extremely pleasing to the senses.

I wasn't expecting great things from this album as it didnt do well ...

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on July 2, 2017

I wasn't expecting great things from this album as it didnt do well at the time in 1983 and was made during a period where he had lost his way. Having said that overall it is a pleasantly enjoyable album and a massive improvement over the previous 2 albums, Backless and Another ticket. It doesn't contain any of Eric's well known songs but contains some good foot tappers all the same.

Is a really good album. I agree with a previous reviewer that later Clapton albums are not as good. In particular I am not a fan of his collaboration with Simon Climie.
Eric is always best live on stage. Few can touch him when he's at his best.
