Eric Clapton Week on Sirius XM Bluesville

On 20 May, EC releases his 23rd studio album, I Still Do. To celebrate, SiriusXM Satellite Radio is having a week of special programming on BB King’s Bluesville (Channel 70). From 6AM Friday May 13 to Friday May 20, music from the album will play every hour. Plus, you can hear EC’s and producer Glyn John’s conversation with Paul Whitehouse about the album.

The album was recorded on tape – rather than digitally – at British Grove Studios in London. For Eric, it was a long overdue opportunity to work with Glyn Johns again – next year will mark forty years that they recorded the classic album, Slowhand, together. EC’s new disc has 12 tracks with original tunes as well as covers by Bob Dylan, JJ Cale, Leroy Carr, Robert Johnson and Skip James.

Vinyl, Deluxe and Regular Editions of I Still Do can be pre-ordered here.
