If you're looking for that perfect slow hand CD to carry around in the car, Time Pieces is the disc for you. Featuring 11 of Clapton's most radio-friendly hits ("I Shot the Sheriff," "After Midnight," and "Layla," of course), this CD also offers up some of Clapton's most romantic moments in "Wonderful Tonight" and his most cynical in "Promises." Though there's nothing here that you don't have on another couple of discs, Time Pieces is a convenient package of great hits that make you want to roll down the windows, crank up the stereo, and roll. --L.A. Smith

3 out of 5 stars Obselete, but far from bad.......2007-03-11

While the joke about Clapton (like coffee) sucking without Cream isn't true, he certainly made his best work in the '60's. Which is why I'd point any Clapton newbie to The Cream of Clapton, rather than Timepieces, since it contains not only all of his solo hits (which are a mixed bag, I'll admit, but there are some good ones), but also offers up a few Cream, Blind Faith and Dominoes tracks. This mainly focuses on solo Clapton, other than Layla (with Derek & the Dominoes - NOT the only good song the band recorded!) This can be good - after all, you get After Midnight, I Shot the Sheriff, Let It Grow, Cocaine and Lay Down Sally. But on the other end of the scale, Wonderful Tonight, Promises, and his take on Knockin' on Heaven's Door - not bad, just mediocre. And I'm sorry, but Wonderful Tonight and Promises are hellspawn - along with I've Got a Rock 'n' Roll Heart (sounds like he never frickin' PLAYED rock), they constitute my Axis of Clapton's Evil. The absence of Let It Rain SHOULD be an enormous red flag, since it's far and away the single best song of his solo career. Motherless Children is also missed, and as I said before, a few '60's tunes would've been appreciated.
This is completely worthless now that The Cream of Clapton exists, but if that's considered contraband where you live (but this one isn't - hey, stranger things have happened), Timepieces makes for a good alternative.

3 out of 5 stars Not Very Good.......2005-12-06

I was highly disappointed with this Clapton Compilation. The only songs I particularly like were "Layla", "Cocaine", and "I Shot The Sheriff".
I am sorry, people; "Knockin' on Heaven's Door" is a terrible song. The best of Clapton? Generally the "best" of someone means their "best" songs! Also cut out "Willie and the Hand Jive", "Wonderful Tonight", and a few others.
If it weren't for the 3 songs I mentioned previously, this album would be trash.

2 out of 5 stars A Lacking Album.......2005-12-06

This album lacks a lot. I don't really want to go into detail, but trust me. Get the cream of clapton istead.

2 out of 5 stars TIME FECES.......2005-10-27

The BEST of Clapton?...PUH-LEEEEEEEEZE!!! This retch-rospective should be called "Time Feces". Where's "Let It Rain", one of his finest singles ever? What happened to "Bell Bottom Blues", "Tulsa Time" (I'm sure Don Williams put it on HIS greartest hits), "I Can't Stand It", "Blues Power", "Hello Old Friend", etc., etc., etc.??? Am I being picky here, or do any and all of these chestnuts not take precedence over pedestrian covers of "Knockin' On Heaven's Door" and (for cryin' out loud) "Swing Low Sweet Chariot"? To think that the compilers were choosing from one of Slowhand's best periods musically, long before he slid into soundtrack composing unconciousness. A far better compilation choice is the smartly titled "Cream of Clapton", which not only includes everything "Time Pieces" left off, but also everything decent it left on, including the original "Layla" and "After Midnight", his country classics "Lay Down Sally" and "Promises", and his "461 Ocean Boulevard" hit remakes "I Shot the Sheriff" and "Willie and the Hand Jive". It also throws in five Cream classics and one from Blind Faith. Now THAT'S the Cream of Clapton! This tastes more like curdled milk. RATING: TWO BAD

4 out of 5 stars Still good, even if there are better discs out there.......2005-09-15

I bought this disc used for a great price and it is more than worth it. It gives me a Clapton fix when I need it and delivers a great group of his songs/hits. If I want more, I know there are other albums with Clapton that will fill the void that this album leaves but I have no problem with this one. If you are a Clapton disciple, you might buy this one but you'll surely own much more, too. If you just need a jolt of Clapton, grab this one.

3 out of 5 stars A fairly good package of seventies material.......2003-06-08

This album combines the best-of compilation "Timepieces" and the live "Timepieces vol II - Live In The Seventies" (not to be confused with the lavish box set "Crossroads II", which also bears the title "Live In The Seventies").

"Timepieces" was a pretty good overview of the first few years of Eric Clapton's solo career, and although hardly definitive, it does offer some of the highlights from "Eric Clapton", "461 Ocean Boulevard", "Slowhand" and Clapton's other seventies albums, and it even brings in the Derek & The Dominoes-single "Layla" (too bad that nothing else from that fabulous album is here).

"Timepieces vol. II" is a relatively short live album (eight tracks), bringing together songs as diverse as Bob Dylan's "Knockin' On Heaven's Door" (nice rendition of that one), Charles Chaplin's "Smile" and Clapton's own "Blues Power".

The inclusion of very non-bluesy songs like "Smile" and Danny Flowers' country-rocker "Tulsa Time" probably means that not every Clapton fan will like this album, but I find it quite enjoyable, actually. The sound is very good, and the band is excellent, particularly keyboardist Chris Stainton who plays piano on the five recordings made at Tokyo's Budokan arena.

All in all, this is a nice overview of Eric Clapton in the seventies, blues, music hall and everything, but if you already have a good Clapton compilation ("The Cream Of Clapton" for example), you don't really need "Timepieces". But maybe you will want to check out "Timepieces vol II", which should still be available in its original format.

    4 out of 5 stars The Greatest.......2002-06-21

    This CD is just another of the Hoppers best!!Kim Hopper has the best voice in the whole Southern Gospel industry!! Anyone can plainly see christ through her. She portrays the ideal christian, God flows through her as she sings with her annoited voice!!

    1 out of 5 stars Hoppers are not so happening anymore.......2002-01-22

    Too much showing off and not enough spirit like they use to sing with. I like them but only to listen to, I can not watch them on stage. It is so aggravating the way they stage their routines. Kim is quite the show-off. The gal can sing but good grief, lose a little of yourself and portray more of God.
