This is Jerry Williams album - Texas songwriter proved to have golden touch, so here he has no less than five songs, almost half of the album is his material. Either Williams is darn good, or new producer brought some fresh air (Russ Titelman is positively uncluttered compared to Phil Collins) or our guitar God simply felt inspired this time around, in any case this is one of the best later Clapton albums and I am seriously surprised how well it survived its age, because dear reader I remember this one from the first time around. Everything I loved back than, I still do - snarling, Grammy-winning "Bad Love", loving tribute to Ray Charles ("Hard times"), joyous and celebratory "Hound Dog" and best of all, wonderfully melodic and feather-light collaboration with George Harrison called "Run So Far" that actually make me smile and purr with pleasure. And Chaka Khan doing backing vocals, so now I'm bowing to the ground. We are not worthy. It actually sounds even better than I remember.
