Clapton's set only included a few songs from the then-new Backless LP, however, and they were all timeless covers. That unmoors Just One Night from its era – or any other.

Eric Clapton has announced a new album. Meanwhile will be released first in digital form on Oct. 4 before coming to CD and vinyl on Jan. 24, 2025.

Eric Clapton’s Crossroads Guitar Festival 2023 rises to No. 1 on Billboard's Blues Albums chart, but Clapton himself doesn't earn a new champion.

Notably, Clapton released a Johnson covers album in 2004. Then, Clapton touched on his Derek and the Dominos roots once more, by returning to “Layla” with an electric twist to close out the set.

Eric Clapton already has a wealth of blues covers to draw from, but he never stopped keeping his ears open when something fresh came out.
