Album Notes Personnel: Eric Clapton (vocals, guitar); Tina Turner (vocals); Michael Brecker (saxophone); Jon Faddis, Randy Brecker (trumpet); Dave Bargerone (trombone); Gary Brooker, Greg Phillinganes (keyboards, background vocals); Richard Feldman (keyboards); Richard Cottle (synthesizer); Laurence Cottle, Nathan East (bass); Phil Collins (drums, percussion, background vocals); Harry Spinetti (drums); Larry Williams (programming); Magic Moreno, Katie Kissoon, Tessa Niles (background vocals).Producers: Phil Collins, Tom Dowd, Eric Clapton.Engineers include: Steve Chase, Peter Hefter, Paul Gommersall.All tracks have been digitally remastered.Having made his presence known in the MTV universe with his video for "Forever Man," Eric Clapton returned to the studio to record AUGUST, an album that found him working with a broad spectrum of writers. Unlike BEHIND THE SUN's class reunion of Clapton side musicians, AUGUST found E.C. backed by keyboardist Greg Phillinganes, bassist Nathan East (later of jazz supergroup Fourplay) and drummer Phil Collins (who shared production duties with long-time Clapton knob-twirler Tom Dowd). Clapton collaborated with some renowned writers here, including Robbie Robertson ("It's In The Way That You Use It") and Stephen Bishop ("Holy Mother," dedicated to the recently deceased Richard Manuel). AUGUST also found Clapton eschewing old blues covers for newer material written by Robert Cray ("Bad Influence") and Motown songwriter Lamont Dozier ("Run," "Hung Up On Your Love"). The most exciting moment on the record comes during the mechanized funk of "Tearing Us Apart," a Clapton duet with the red-hot Tina Turner. Editorial Reviews Q (05/01/1995) | |||||||
Reviews  Good Quality Eric Clapton album.Review created: 22/08/08 by:  I am not a fan of Eric Clapton's music. I don't hate it or anything, it's just not what I prefer to listen to,... however I love "Behind The Mask" very much and that's why I bought this album. It's a top tune, and well produced. I can't say I gave the rest of the album a decent listen, but I did have a little taste. Even though I admit I won't really be listening to this album, it sounds well produced overall and the music is quite good. I can imagine this sounding great at one of his concerts. Even though this album is not high on my list of faves, I feel I have to be fair because of it's quality of music. Eric Clapton fans would be better at judging this album that I, but I though I might as well since I had the opportunity and was going to be positive about it. You don't have to like the music to recognise it has quality, because at the end of the day, somebody else will be interested in it, that counts for all music. Conclusion: Good Album!
