Multiple producing credits on Old Sock suggest Eric Clapton‘ would really benefit, rather than endanger, his commercial appeal, by collaborating a single outside producer, not to mention a streamlined unit of accompanying musicians. Such a project, compositions of his own or otherwise, may not necessarily be conceived to appeal to the rock/blues listeners who will no doubt dote on “Gotta Get Over” and late British guitarist Gary Moore’s “Still Got The Blues” (where Clapton’s guitar takes prominence but ultimately defers to an orchestra), but such a focused approach might at least clarify the core audience of the man once referred to as “God.” […]

Under the Gun
Clapton’s signature guitar work is a vivid presence on Old Sock. It brings edge and flair to some of the quieter tracks and enhances others with a sense of intricacy and reflection. His familiarity with the instrument and distinctive playing brings a sense of the personal to the covers and helps to distinguish them from the originals. […]

The Detroit News
Eric Clapton‘s ‘Old Sock’ is like an old friend. Imagine a jam session at Eric Clapton‘‘s house. He’s not likely to trot out “Layla” for the 3,478th time. Instead, he and pals with names like Paul McCartney, Chaka Khan and Steve Winwood would probably deep dive into a tasty bag of cover tunes that inspire and delight them. […]
