Eric Clapton - Hello Old Friend All Our Pastimes
Review by Heather Kenison
Eric Clapton's album "Hello Old Friend All Our Pastimes" is a tribute to his musical journey spanning over five decades. The album features a mix of original compositions and covers of classic blues and rock songs, showcasing Clapton's signature guitar style and soulful vocals.
The album opens with the upbeat rock number "Spiral," featuring Clapton's electrifying guitar riffs and catchy melody. The title track "Hello Old Friend" is a nostalgic ballad that reflects on the passage of time and the bonds of friendship. The album also includes a cover of Bob Dylan's "Don't Think Twice, It's All Right," where Clapton's emotive vocals and delicate guitar work create a poignant rendition of the classic song.
One of the standout tracks on the album is "Can't Let You Do It," a bluesy number that features Clapton's signature guitar licks and a catchy chorus. The album also features collaborations with esteemed musicians such as Paul Carrack and Andy Fairweather Low, adding depth and variety to the overall sound.

Perfectly said
As I am strolling down the garden path,
I saw a flower glowing in the dark.
It looked so pretty and it was unique;
I had to bend down just to have a peek.
Hello old friend,
It's really good to see you once again.
Hello old friend,
It's really good to see you once again.
I saw you walking underneath the stars;
I couldn't stop 'cause I was in a car.
I'm sure the distance wouldn't be too far
If I got out and walked to where you are.
Hello old friend,

Hello old friend,
It's really good to see you once again.
An old man passed me on the street today;
I thought I knew him but I couldn't say.
I stopped to think if I could place his frame.
When he tipped his hat I knew his name.

Clapton is NOT God...
Hello E. Clapton, very good to hear you once again.
Reminds of being in high school and meeting my very first girlfriend named Micki, I remember hearing this song on the radio while dating her, she's gone now but this amazing song reminds me of her so much...great memories
I know most great music!!!! But didn’t really know this till it played in the opening of Monday night football for my Oakland Raiders against the Seahawks in 1986 we lost like 33 nothin at the kingdom but liked a lot ever since!!!! OAKLAND!!!!!RAiDERS!!!!Faeva!!!!?????????????
great high school tune
Reincarnation. People that meant something to you coming back to say hello in another guise. This happened to me when my dear Uncle Keith passed away last year. A blackbird flew right down and sat a few feet away and we just looked at each other. I picked up my phone and my cousin had sent a message telling me the news that his Dad had passed away the previous evening.
RIP Ginger Baker, thank you for the memories my old friend.
Welllll, Clapton is not God but I love love love this song anyway ?
Descobri essa msc através da HQ do Planeta Hulk, O Coisa canta essa msc em uma parte da HQ
Eric elevate our frames
Song will always remind me of the mid to late 90s when i was 16 years old with the world at my fingertips. driving through the cornfields of northern IL-Wisco
This song would be PERFECT medleyed with Jerry Garcia's _Rubin and Cherise..._ ???
A good friend is hard to find. I've known Jeff since the 1st grade!!! Kept in touch all these years since 1965!!! Wow!!!!
God Bless You. Thank You
This back up vocals sounds like they are from another planet
