Eric Clapton With

I've done a few "With" picks, probably most recently Todd Rundgren With which turned out pretty good. But I guess not too many of these. Here's Eric Clapton With a bunch of other bands. Not really fair since he was a studio musician who loved playing on people's albums. I didn't include any tracks with him solo, nor did I include any Yardbirds nor any Cream. I did leave Derek & the Dominos on this pick. Oh well. I also included a track from the Bunbury's Bunbury Trail (which is another supergroup Eric was in - this time with the Bee Gee's). No rhyme or reason. But the tracks are all good. I almost added Yoko Ono, because Clapton plays on Don't Worry Kyoko... (a great song, but it didn't fit and it wasn't quite the best next to Brian Wilson anyway. Sorry about that. You will have to add it yourself.

Todd Rundgren With

I've been listening to a lot of Todd Rundgren recently and I already have a great connection pick of his production work that I called Rundgren Productions. Check it out. This one is a little different, although he did produce some of these songs or albums that they came from. On this pick he had to have played an instrument or sang on the recording. So for some that was easy since he was officially a band member in Nazz, Utopia and The New Cars. So he probably did both. Some he just played guitar (think Meat Loaf and the guitar that sounds like a motorcycle). Or drums and voice like the Ringo Starr All Starr Band. All sorts of combinations. No one is sure how many on the Jules Shear because it leaves it open. The duets, we know he sang. So look it up if you really want to know. I kept some of the "With's" for another playlist of covers because he also has some great covers. It's coming somewhat soon.
