Eric Clapton
Enormously talented and often enigmatic, Eric Clapton has faced down personal demons and always defined his own musical integrity. Member of a long list of blues-rock bands, he eventually found focus as a solo performer. Clapton was first inspired by traditional blues masters, and his musical arc has returned him to those roots. A brightly colored Gibson Les Paul was one of the trademark guitars of his early career, and a key ingredient in the sound that prompted his 1960s fans to splash “Clapton is God” graffiti from London to New York.
