Various Artists: Crossroads: Eric Clapton Guitar Festival Blu-Ray, DVD & CD (all Rhino) It my just be my imagination, but it seems that Eric Clapton, who appeared to have reached his commercial zenith back in the ‘60s when he was referred to as “God,” is now more popular than ever! Just one of at least three new collections bearing his name this year, this one-available in three different commercial formats-draws its content from this April’s celebrated two-day concert event in Madison Square Garden and features just about every hot guitarist you might imagine-Jeff Beck, Buddy Guy, Steve Cropper, Earl Klugh, the commercially popular John Mayer and…heck, just about everybody! It all sounds good, it all sounds event-worthy-and indeed, royalties from all of this will benefit the Crossroads Centre in Antigua-and most impressively, it all seems deliberately music-focused, rather than pop-star laden, which is a refreshing change of pace in late 2013. And while I’m not usually one to rave about inanimate objects, I don’t know-doesn’t the AMA trophy itself look kind of hot? Just a thought!
