In 1992, Eric Clapton went acoustic for an MTV Unplugged session. The resulting set became one of the biggest albums of his career, as well as a GRAMMY winner for the heartfelt tribute to his late son, “Tears in Heaven”.
Clapton does have a band backing him here. It plays in an way that complements the album’s low-key nature.
Aside from “Tears in Heaven” the album includes an acoustic version of “Layla” and Bo Diddley’s “Before You Accuse Me”.
