Slowhand is the fifth solo studio album by Eric Clapton. Released on 25 November 1977 by RSO Records, and titled after Clapton's nickname, it is one of his most commercially and critically successful studio albums. Slowhand produced the two hit singles "Lay Down Sally" and "Wonderful Tonight", reached various international music charts and was honored with numerous awards and recording certifications.
After the guest-star-drenched No Reason to Cry failed to make much of an impact commercially, Eric Clapton returned to using his own band for Slowhand. The difference is substantial - where No Reason to Cry struggled hard to find the right tone, Slowhand opens with the relaxed, bluesy shuffle of . Cale's "Cocaine" and sustains it throughout the course of the album.
Band Name Eric Clapton.
Eric Clapton’s solo albums have tended to be so evenhanded and laconic that they often seem interchangeable. His pain was always so apparent that every move he made seemed frozen for eternity. At first glance, Slow Hand does nothing to alter that pattern - a few good tracks interspersed between the usual filler - but there’s a lot more going on here beneath the surface. Clapton is showing signs of psychic rehabilitation. His love songs are pointedly realistic. In a chilling moment of self-revelation called Next Time You See Her, he focuses his long-sublimated anger at losing his lover.
Slowhand is Clapton’s fifth solo studio album and was released in 1977. The album was named after Eric Clapton’s nickname, which he got fom Giorgio Gomelsky, manager of The Yardbirds: On my guitar I used light-gauge guitar strings, with a very thin first string, which made it easier to bend the notes, and it was not uncommon during the most frenetic bits of playing for me to break at least one string. During the pause while I was changing my string, the frenzied audience would often break into a slow handclap, inspiring Giorgio to dream up the nickname of ‘Slowhand’ Clapton
Eric Clapton released 'Slowhand' in November 1977. Slowhand, released on the first day of November 1977, came at a crucial point in Eric Clapton’s career. After more than a decade as rock’s reigning guitar god, the 32-year-old Cream and Derek and the Dominos leader was coming off two unremarkable solo albums. 461 Ocean Boulevard, from 1974, proved Clapton could carry a song-oriented record under his own name; There’s One in Every Crowd (1975) and No Reason to Cry (1976) sank under their aimless and bloated self-importance.
