Eric Clapton — Another Ticket
This album was released a couple of years before I graduated from college the first time. That was a very strange period in my life but at least I had a great soundtrack going on in the background as I muddled my way though. I managed to finish college that time and pass all the requirements. It was quite unbelievable.
Anyway, give this a listen. It is probably one of Clapton’s great times in life too.
