Clapton released his debut solo studio album after stints a number of legendary bands including The Yardbirds, John Mayall & the Bluesbreakers, Cream and Blind Faith.
In an interview from 2006, Clapton recalled that he was very happy making this album and was pleased with the results of the recording sessions, but also noted that "the only thing [he] didn't like about the album is [his] voice", because it sounds so "high" and "young", which Clapton disliked, because he "always wanted to sound like an old guy".
Among the plethora of excellent contributors to the album were Stephen Stills (guitars, bass, and backing vocals), Leon Russell (piano) and Rita Coolidge (backing vocals)
The album peaked at #7 in Australia, #13 in the US, #14 in the UK, and #17 in Norway.
