Rezensionen
Audio
Solo war Saiten-Hero Eric Clapton ein ähnlicher Erfolg beschieden. "Backless" ('78) zählt nicht zu seinen stärksten Werken, abgesehen vom schmissigen "Tulsa Time". Gegenüber der neuen Remaster-CD (Polydor, siehe AUDIO live 11/96) ist die güldene im Sound wärmer.
Stereoplay
Nach dem Clapton-Klassiker "Slowhand" (1977) legt MFSL jetzt auch das Folgealbum von 1978 auf. Das Urteil fällt hier etwas durchwachsener aus: Meisterliches wie das lässige "I'll Make Love To You Anytime" wechselt mit Durchschnittlichem wie "Tell Me That You Love Me". Zu den Höhepunkten des zwischen Country, Pop und Rock changierenden Zehnerpacks zählen "Roll It" und der starke, siebenminütige Slowblues "Early In The Morning". Gegenüber dem Midprice-Silberling legt die Goldscheibe vor allem im Baß und an Durchsichtigkeit zu. Audiophil klingt's trotzdem nicht. ** Interpret.: 06-08
Review by William Ruhlmann
Having made his best album since 461 Ocean Boulevard with Slowhand, Eric Clapton followed with Backless, which took the same authoritative, no-nonsense approach. If it wasn't quite the masterpiece, or the sales monster, that Slowhand had been, this probably was because of that usual Clapton problem — material. Once again, he returned to those Oklahoma hills for another song from J.J. Cale, but "I'll Make Love to You Anytime" wasn't quite up to "Cocaine" or "After Midnight." Bob Dylan contributed two songs, but you could see why he hadn't saved them for his own album, and Clapton's own writing contributions were mediocre. Clapton did earn a Top Ten hit with Richard Feldman and Roger Linn's understated pop shuffle "Promises," but it was not one of his more memorable recordings. Of course, Clapton's blues playing on the lone obligatory blues cut, "Early in the Morning" (presented in its full eight-minute version on the CD reissue), was stellar. (Backless was his last album to feature the backup group that had been with him since 1974.)
