"My Father's Eyes" won the 1999 Grammy Award for Best Male Pop Vocal Performance.Since donning an Armani suit back in the decadent '80s, Eric Clapton's music has become more polished as he's gotten older. Despite recording the all-blues FROM THE CRADLE collection in 1994, E.C. has either gone unplugged, collaborated with silky-smooth soulsters such as Babyface, or dabbled with current electronic trends. PILGRIM finds Slowhand doing all of the above on his first album of original material in nearly a decade. Unlike many older artists dipping their toes into the electronic pool, Clapton and co-producer Simon Climie's restrained use of programming gilds rather than overwhelms these original numbers. In a welcome turn, Clapton wrote or co-wrote every song with the exception of Bob Dylan's "Born In Time" and "Going Down Slow," a St. Louis Jimmy blues nugget. Joined by Babyface on the former, Clapton gives both songs a lite-jazz treatment that meshes well with a burnished vocal style that sounds as if he's been listening to Curtis Mayfield recently. Complementing Clapton's emotive vocalizing is his always formidable guitar playing. Whether he politely funks it up on "She's Gone" or indulges his blues jones on the slow shuffle of "Sick And Tired," Eric Clapton's musical development continues to be a steady pilgrimage into the new millenium.

Top Reviews  Eric Clapton - Pilgrim 29 of 31 people found this review helpful. I must say, the one word that comes from this album is 'different'. It is not what most people would be used to from EC. The general impression i get from this album is that Eric wanted a chill out vibe from the music. I must say, i think he's put a lot of emotion in to it. I also think he's had a larger part in the producing the record. I wouldn't especially say that this album was meant to impress people, rather show a 'different' side to Eric Review ID: 10000000003843652 Was this review helpful? Report this review Reviews EC goes soulful.1 of 1 people found this review helpful. This is EC bringing all of his emotions together in one CD. Needs to be listened to with an open mind as this is a different side to EC. But listen I did and one word sums it up. Briliiant. Buy and enjoy. Review ID: 10000000006019798 Was this review helpful?
