Sessions For Robert J. (CD + DVD) [Enhanced]

Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
Early in this visual postscript to Clapton's Me and Mr. Johnson album, bassist Nathan East says "some stuff sounds better than the record." Actually, nearly all of it does--thanks to a few more months of digesting the material--as the camera follows the guitar legend and his band through warm-spirited rehearsals (including an incendiary "Kindhearted Woman Blues") for their 2004 tour. Clapton and guitarist Doyle Bramhall II are also captured at the Dallas hotel where Robert Johnson recorded in 1937. There they play acoustic duet versions of Johnson's "Hellhound on My Trail," "Me and the Devil Blues," "Love in Vain," and others that ring with passion and virtuosity as Bramhall's slide accents the clean, beautifully articulated lines of Clapton's six-sting interpretations and unrestrained singing. Clapton also plays a few solo numbers and expounds on his love for Johnson's music and the Delta bluesman's technique. But he speaks most eloquently through his playing, which says volumes about his affection for and deep commitment to this music. The CD features 11 songs from the DVD. --Ted Drozdowski

Album Description
Live, intimate, and raw, Sessions For Robert J is the essential audio/video companion to Eric Clapton's 2004 gold, Top 10 Me And Mr. Johnson, tribute to blues legend Robert Johnson.

4 out of 5 stars Welcome back to O'Cliff... EC.......2007-03-20

Interpritation... isn't that what Music is? Same with Opinions.
This Collection is full and ambient. Things do change with time, as EC has. Peter Green's Mr.J was precise, yet raw. John Hammond's was enlightening, yet masked. Clapton's touch is that of a Master playing a Legends work. Try filling the rifts on your own, if not convinced. Johnson could play Sir... Clapton has learned much through time... he couldn't do quite the RJ in the 70's, sitt'n with Freddy & me in O'Cliff, but it was good... even then. Some still like to compare... time moves on.
Mr.C, still inspires me. I'll catch that train yet.

5 out of 5 stars An excellent interpretation of Robert Johnson's music.......2006-12-06

Having listened to Clapton for more than 30 years, I can see how he had matured in his interpretation of blues and particularly Robert Johnson's music.

I enjoyed on this CD and DVD Clapton's arrangements of his songs and surprised in the variety that Johnson built into his music.

Clapton keeps the songs true to the original yet adds life of his own to them and brings them out of the 30's into our era.

I appreciate too, him keeping the original lyrics, especially on Sweet Home Chicago and Johnson's peculiar geographic connection.

The more I have seen Clapton in the last few years, I think he has really come to be comfortable in his music and playing to a legendary level. This is a very good set to own.

5 out of 5 stars I love EC AND RJ.......2006-07-20

But I don't confuse the two. As Sam King says above, this might be the album Robert Johnson would have recored had he had the chance.

Nuff said.

5 out of 5 stars A Superior Product.......2006-06-29

This DVD/CD is far superior to the CD which preceded it, 'Me and Mr J', which was released in 2004. The band gels and seems more cohesive. In addition, the arrangements are more interesting and there is more variety in the presentation of the classic Delta songs. Clapton performs several with Dayle Bramhall 11, which are outstanding, but the highlights for me, are the solo accoustic numbers, 'Ramblin' on my Mind' and a poignant 'Love in Vain'.

The previous album lacked this essential variety and sounded repetitious and routine by comparison. Clapton is an excellent accoustic blues guitarist, and should give more exposure to this form of presentation. This is the missing ingredient from the first CD.

What contributes to the enhanced atmosphere, is the decision to perform in the hotel room in Dallas, where Robert Johnson recorded the originals in 1937/38. There are more than a few ghosts hovering and it imbues the music with a sense of spirit and dignity.

There is also an excellent 'Kind Hearted Woman Blues', which the band handles with aplomb.

Highly recommended.

2 out of 5 stars Another look..........2005-12-31

I already wrote a review for this release, but thought I would return a few months down the track and reconsider some of the content.

Upon revisiting the DVD, it becomes clear that the production values are very high, and that real time and effort was spent constructing the 'movie'. As a 'bonus' item, the DVD is exceptional in both audio and visual terms. Clapton fans are certainly being well catered for, and seeing the material 'performed' adds immeasurably to the value of the package. Clapton and co. certainly deserve applause for this attention to the 'fans'.

With releases like this, it is clear that Clapton is 'throwing in his lot' with Robert Johnson and has become (if he wasn't, indeed, before) the central organising presence in the popular musical world justifying Johnson's critical worth and encouraging his contemporary popularity. However, what becomes apparent in the 'interview' sections of the DVD is that Clapton has a somewhat wrong-headed understanding of Johnson's place in blues history (if contemporary scholarship is to be believed). At one point he places Johnson with Charley Patton, Son House and Blind Lemon Jefferson - all of whom were a generation removed from Johnson, whose first recording session was late in 1936 (ten years AFTER Jefferson began recording).

Indeed, like many, Clapton arrived at Johnson by going backwards - through Chuck Berry, Howling Wolf, Muddy Waters, etc. Therefore, he considers Johnson to be one of 'the first' - i.e. 'the thin end of the wedge' (as he puts it), rather than as one of the LAST great Delta performers. This is significant, in that it invests Johnson with a degree of 'originality' (for want of a better term) without justification. These problems are compounded by Clapton's statements regarding Johnson's repertoire. At one point in the interview segment he admits 'blues' is not the only genre of music Johnson would have played for audiences, but then later states that 'this' (i.e. 'blues') is ALL Johnson played - or COULD play, given the restrictions on what the labels would have wanted from such a performer given the time. This reduces Johnson (whose 'They're Red Hot', 'Steady Rolling Man' and 'Drunken Hearted Man' indicate an artist very much skilled in a range of styles, and willingly appropriating others), allowing him to fit snugly into the 'blues' label with little deliberation.

Indeed, Clapton appears content with the 'Robert Johnson' as presented on the liner notes for the first 1960s release of 'King of the Delta Blues Singers', a portrait that may have accorded with a romanticised 'folk' depicition of 'the blues' but which has come under scrutiny in the last decade or so - and for good reason. (See Elijah Wald's 'Escaping the Delta' for perhaps the most important understanding of Robert Johnson in blues scholarship.)

Ultimately, this package will confirm Clapton's status yet again with his (blues) audience - but that audience is entirely comfortable with Clapton and his understanding of that genre. The problem is that Clapton is as much contributing to the popular understanding of Robert Johnson with releases like this as much as he is building his OWN reputation. Not only is this a weighty endeavour, but he is willingly promoting a particular portrait of Johnson that is (somewhat) problematic. Some might suggest that, at this late stage, it hardly matters, but Robert Johnson is very much an industry - the rise and fall of which bears greatly upon the popular appreciation (and understanding of) 'the blues'. The danger is not that Clapton clearly loves this music and happily promotes it, but that it is a specific interpretation of the music that is being presented (and unconsciously so).

    Customer Reviews:

    5 out of 5 stars Too beautiful for words.......2004-05-25

    If Julian Bream's recordings were letters, his would all be hand written rather than typed.

    5 out of 5 stars Guitar History.......2004-02-15

    Julian Bream not only plays the guitar, and the lute
    (although purists and I suspect Bream himself would say rather unconventionally), but most of all, Bream plays MUSIC. This is very, very important. There are many fine guitarists around today, but I doubt any could match Bream's sheer musicality when these recordings were made.
    This 28 CD box set is a lesson in music making, regardless of what instrument is being played. The recordings are the complete RCA Bream catalogue from 1959 to 1989. If you can find the complete box set or even any of the individual volumes, I suggest you make the purchase. (Shame on RCA and BMG for not keeping this box set and "all" the individual volumes in print.)
    Some of the higlights of Breams remarkable talent are his
    interpretations of Britten's "Nocturnal", Walton's "Five Bagatelles", the instrumental and vocal works (with tenor Peter Pears) of Dowland, the "first" complete guitar works of Villa-Lobos, a thorough history of the guitar in Spain from the Renaissance to the Present on period instruments, plus all the works that have become classical guitar standards by Bach, Sor, Giuliani, Albeniz, Rodrigo, plus the "new" standards by Brouwer, Arnold, Berkeley, Britten, Walton, etc.
    Music making of this caliber is rare indeed. Buy it if you can find it. Good Luck !

    5 out of 5 stars Best deal there is!.......2002-05-06

    If you can find this set buy it fast. There are not to many of these left out there. This has it all. Plus Julian Bream is the greatest guitarist of all time.

    5 out of 5 stars Most excellent.......2001-08-18

    This a an wonderful collection of Julian Bream. He is the master of master . I always admire his talent as a genius of this centure.

    5 out of 5 stars Julian Bream, The Genius.......1999-01-09

    Who don't want to have a wonderful classical guitar collection? Well, this pack consists in 28 CDs, more than 1.000 minutes of music, distribuited by different titles as Baroque Guitar, Spanish Guitar, etc. Some highlights are here, like Asturias, Fernando Sor variations on Mozart's Magic Flute, Paganini Grand Sonata, all Preludes and Etudes of Villa-Lobos, and, well, lots of really good things. Also, there are some cds Julian Bream plays Guitar with Orchestra, or with Harpsichords. Ah, he plays lute in some too. Unfortunately, there are 2 or 3 cds where a tenor sings and another which a woman says some poems, and those, in my opinion, are not very nice. So, it's a good collection, and if you can, buy it!!
