Money & Cigarettes (remastered)

Money and Cigarettes marked several important turning points in Eric Clapton’s recording career: his debutrelease on his own Duck imprint; the first album he made after giving up drinking; and marked his working with newplayers (with the exception of second guitarist Albert Lee) includingStax Records veteran bassist Donald „Duck“ Dunn and Muscle Shoals drummer Roger Hawkins, also bringing in guestguitarist Ry Cooder. His new songs reflected on his changed condition, with „Ain’t Going Down,“ a thinly veiled musical rewrite of the JimiHendrix arrangement of „All Along the Watchtower,“ serving as a statement of purpose that declared, „I’ve still gotsomething left to say.“ Other notable hits include „The Shape You’re In“ the acoustic ballad „Pretty Girl“ and covers ofSleepy John Estes‘ „Everybody Oughta Make a Change“ (significantly placed as the album’s leadoff track), Albert King’s“Crosscut Saw,“ and Johnny Otis‘ „Crazy Country Hop.“

»Überhaupt überzeugen Klang- und
Pressqualität, alle Platten laufen ohne viele
Störgeräusche und knackfrei durch. Auch
die Mittellöcher sind alle sauber ausgestanzt,
heute keine Selbstverständlichkeit
mehr. Auch eine weitere aktuelle Unsitte,
Dynamik und Höhen beim LP-Schnitt zu
beschneiden, verkniff sich die Plattencompany.« (Good Times, Oktober / November 2018)
