  • “Let It Grow” (Eric Clapton Acoustic Rock Cover Song) – The Laptop Sessions

    Friday, August 1st, 2008

    By Jim Fusco:

    Welcome, welcome to yet another edition of “I Can’t Believe It’s My Night Already” here on the Laptop Sessions with me, Jim Fusco!  Tonight, I bring you a great song from Eric Clapton, and yes, his solo work counts as yet ANOTHER new band here on the best music video blog in the universe!

    So, we keep the hits on comin’ and I’m here tonight to slow it down a bit with this song, “Let It Grow”.   It’s got a great tune with a nice feel to it.  I hope you’ll also like my rendition of Jim Fusco’s classic “vocal guitar solo”.  I think it came out great and I’m pretty proud of this Laptop Session, mostly because of how great my Zoom H2 microphone picks it all up.

    I’ll be doing more from Clapton in the future, although I wouldn’t really consider myself a “fan”.  I just have these random obsessions, and it’s great to have the Laptop Sessions as an outlet to get it out of my system for a while.   I’ve had an obsession with this song for many years- one of those ones that comes up on random and I scream, “Oh YEAH!”

    Anyway, enjoy tonight’s Laptop Session, on time, as usual, and come on’ back tomorrow for Chris’ next acoustic rock cover song ya’hear? :-)

Eric Clapton Acoustic Rock Cover Songs and Free mp3 Downloads

Ranking fourth in a recent list of best rock music guitarists, songwriter and lead electric guitarist Eric Clapton has certainly solidified his reputation in new rock music circles. Active since the early sixties in many different influential rock bands, he quickly honed his songwriting and his recording abilities. He learned how to write a song after studying from the blues and rock greats that he revered. He loved to listen to new music, or in many cases old music, and learned how to work those influences into his unplugged sets. Anyone who seeks out the acoustic tabs to his songs or the mp3 files available for download on the Internet will be able to see the clear nod that he gives toward his influences. His songwriting has also progressed with the years, not only visible in the music videos he has created – many of which are available as free videos on the YouTube videos website – but also heard in his new music, ranging from tribute albums to folk and blues icons like Robert Johnson to his new rock music material. As one of the foremost rock songwriters of the seventies and even eighties, as music reviews have heralded him, his cover songs have resounded equally as strongly as his own music, recording such acoustic covers as “I Shot the Sheriff” and Bob Dylan’s “Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door.” His music now lives on in the acoustic guitar music – the acoustic cover songs – of the Laptop Sessions video blog and music blog!
