ERIC CLAPTON’S CROSSROADS GUITAR FESTIVAL FINDS A SWEET HOME IN CHICAGO
Double-DVD Captures Highlights from Festival With Performances and Collaborations by Guitar Wizards Eric Clapton, B.B. King, Buddy Guy, Jeff Beck, John Mayer, Robert Cray, Robbie Robertson, Sheryl Crow, Derek Trucks and More

Available From Rhino Entertainment November 20

LOS ANGELES — Three years ago, Eric Clapton assembled a who’s who of guitar masters for the first Crossroads Guitar Festival, raising funds for the Crossroads Centre, Antigua, a chemical dependency treatment and education facility Clapton founded. The sold-out show yielded a double-DVD that has been certified platinum eight times on the way to becoming one of the worlds’ top-selling music DVDs.

In a second stunning effort earlier this year, Clapton invited old friends and new for the Crossroads Guitar Festival in Chicago. The all-star cast featured Steve Winwood, B.B. King, Willie Nelson, Jeff Beck, Vince Gill, Sheryl Crow, Buddy Guy, Derek Trucks, John Mayer, Doyle Bramhall II, and more. Rhino Entertainment captured every angle with a two-DVD set chronicling that scorching summer day in Chicago with CROSSROADS GUITAR FESTIVAL 2007 FROM CHICAGO. Released November 20, the two-disc DVD will be available at regular retailers and at www.rhino.com for a suggested list price of $29.99.

Filmed in HD, the DVDs contain four hours of legendary musicians performing alone and jamming together, along with remarkable footage taken backstage at this six-string summit. Clapton says he created the event so his friends and contemporaries could have fun and play together for a good cause. “The Crossroads Festival is the realization of a dream for me, to gather a group of amazingly talented musicians to perform onstage,” he explains. “The Crossroads performers are all musicians I admire and respect.”

With 38 tracks, CROSSROADS showcases a wide range of artists from rock, country, jazz, and blues including performances by jazz fusionist John McLaughlin, roots rocker Albert Lee, Chicago blues legend Hubert Sumlin, hit-making singer-songwriter Sheryl Crow, Texas bluesman Jimmie Vaughan, slide guitarist Sonny Landreth, Latin rockers Los Lobos, and country star Vince Gill.

A seminar for guitar fanatics, Clapton’s set paid tribute to his close friend George Harrison with “Isn’t It A Pity” and revisited Derek & The Dominos with “Tell The Truth.” Jeff Beck delivered a mind-blowing instrumental set with “Big Block.” The Robert Cray Band was joined by Vaughn, Sumlin and B.B. King for “Sitting On Top Of The World,” “Rock Me Baby,” and “Paying The Cost To Be The Boss”; while young gun John Mayer flexed his skills with “Belief” and “Gravity.”

Jam

The concert provided plenty of impressive guitar heroics with some of the world’s best guitarists jamming together. Young phenom and member of The Allman Brothers Band, Dereks Trucks, battled legendary bluesman Johnny Winters on slide guitar during a rollicking version of Bob Dylan’s “Highway 61 Revisited.” Robbie Robertson made a rare stage appearance playing with Clapton on Bo Diddley’s “Who Do You Love.”

Performing together live for the first time in 25 years, Blind Faith band mates Steve Winwood and Clapton soared through a set that included “Presence Of The Lord,” “Dear Mr. Fantasy,” “Had To Cry Today” and “Crossroads.” The Chicago show ended on a fitting note with Chicago-blues icon Buddy Guy playing a set featuring him solo and leading an all-star jam on “Sweet Home Chicago” that included Clapton, Cray, Mayer, Sumlin, Vaughan, and Winter.

  1. I’ll throw out five currents:

    Derek Trucks
    Eddie Roberts (New Mastersounds)
    Elgin Park/Mike Andrews (GBA)
    Josh Clark (TLG)
    Bill Frisell

  2. Just five?! Well… Here’s who I would recommend to ol’ EC:

    Derek Trucks
    Jonny Lang
    Prince
    Brian Setzer
    Tommy Emmanuel

  3. Paco de Lucía (just to see how their styles could/would mesh, could be great, could be a disaster)
    Pat Martino
    Stephen Stills (if you don’t think he can rip check out Side Two of Super Sessions with Al Kooper)
    Leo Nocentelli
    Jimmy Herring

  4. Ok, so if I’m Slowhand, here are my five:

    1. Derek Trucks – obviously

    2. Kevin Shields – fresh from the impending? MBV reunion

    3. Doug Martsch or Ira Kaplan – inject a little indie life into such stodgy surrounds

    4. Silvio Van Zandt – brother needs work now the Sops are dunzo, and the chance to achieve heaviosity with a star-studded version of that Sun City song (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UYHiA568P6E) is too great to pass up.

    5. Sheryl Crow – b/c I might get lucky post-show.

  5. My five:

    1. John Mayer, attracts a crowd, fantastic young player, great songwriter

    2. Trey Anastasio, speaks for himself

    3. Warren Haynes, incredible player.

    4. Eric Krasno from Soulive, very underrated

    5. Robert Randolph, gets the party started.

  6. 1. John McLaughlin – He has played with Hendrix, Jeff Beck, and Miles Davis. The single greatest guitarist alive.

    2. Jeff Beck – The most versatile guitarist in popular music. I am convinced that “Truth” by the Jeff Beck Band is still better than anything Led Zeppelin ever did.

    3. Al Di Meola – Maybe He and McLaughlin can play “Tales of the Black Forrest”

    4. Prince – If anybody doubts his rock guitar cred, check out his solo on “While My Guitar Gently Weeps” at the Rock Hall and watch Dhani Harrison’s face.

    5. Richard Thompson – Who else makes nine minute folk songs enjoyable and face melting.

    As a bonus they should get 100,000 people to watch people who think they are studs at Guitar Hero and laugh.

  7. slowhand’s picks:

    Ry Cooder – who else but Cooder? (and you get to say “Cooder”)
    BB King – No one does it like the king
    John Scofield – tip-toe-ing like a raptor (forget the RS list)
    Ritchie Blackmore – deep purple great and fellow brit.
    Jeff Beck – still hot from the “smokestack lightnin'”

    This is the list. If you are being super-tickey-tack, you would subtract Scofield and replace with Buddy Guy.

    Other than that, this is a list from heaven!

    cheers.

  8. 1. JJ Cale
    2. Carlos Santana
    3. BB King
    4. Leo Kottke (for acoustic jams, of course)
    5. Jeff Beck

    I considered John McLauglin as well but wasn’t sure how his sound would meld, though I love and respect his musicianship dearly.

  9. 1) elgin park (or mike andrews, if you prefer)
    2) john mclaughlin
    3) charlie hunter
    4) buckethead
    5) kaki king

    (though this is kinda a lie, because in reality, if it were up to me, i’d put myself on the bill, at which point i’d get nervous about looking stupid, so i’d assign 3 spots to michael vick’s mutilated dogs and 1 to chuck from moe.)
