It sounds like the beginning of a story: "So, Slowhand and the King of the Blues
were riding in a car ..." If this is a musical journey, it's the kind that rolls
down long, empty stretches of country highway at 80 miles an hour, with the top
down and the stereo blasting. Clapton and King may be more city than country,
but this collection has the relaxed, laid-back feel that only comes from a pair
of veterans doing what they do best. What they do here is cover 12 classic blues
songs, many of them staples of King's repertoire, so the title of this album makes
sense. Whether it's the rollicking rock & roll of the title track, or the
acoustic shuffle of "Key to the Highway," or the sweet notes of "When My Heart
Beats Like a Hammer," a real sense of pleasure comes through on this album, the
kind of pleasure one gets from jamming late at night with a good friend. --Genevieve
