Part of that is probably to do with his image, and the fact that he's never tried to look cool, trendy, or edgy.

I like the pic of him reading a copy of "The Beano" on the John Mayall album cover best.

...and on that bombshell...three of my favourite latter days Clapton songs (two of them are blues covers):

Pilgrim

Motherless Child

Hot Tamales (They're Red Hot)

What's not to like?

I love that album!

Damn, last year John Mayall had a gig in Basel but they advertised it so badly that I missed it.

Nice We used to listen for the bit at the end when Billy Cotton used to make some joke while putting his coat on as the band sounded as though they were packing up. Happy Days.
