- If You Like the Band....
Clapton has said of The Band's "Music from Big Pink" that it "changed my life." "No Reason to Cry" may not be Clapton at his best, but if you like The Band (as I do), then you'll probably enjoy this compact disc.

Many of the songs sound like they could be from The Band, except for Clapton's voice. Robbie Robertson, Rick Danko and Richard Manuel play backup for Clapton, and members of The Band wrote two of the tracks: "Beautiful Thing" and "All Our Past Times." Danko shares lead vocals ... Read More

- Hot a career CD, but solid
Eric Clapton at this time in his career was hanging out with members of the Band, and of course Bob Dylan.
There are several songs of note on this CD.
Sign Language is a duet with Bob Dylan. Over the years Dylan has offered several songs to Clapton. This is the only one they have collaborated on. Sign Language is not a great song, but I find it very interesting to hear Dylan and Clapton sing together.
County Jail Blues is another strong effort and has slide guitar.
At this point ... Read More

- Some Reason To Cry (l'm Out 12 Bucks For This Album)
'No Reason To Cry' is, in my opinion, one of Claptons weakest albums next to 'Another Ticket'. The whole thing is a sloppy mess with weak,disjointed playing, no cohesion or direction, and much slurring from Eric on lead vocals. Where are the producers on this album?, I wonder, sounds like they were 'out to lunch' on most of it, or maybe flat on their backs on the floor! However, Marcy Levy wrote and performed well on the track, 'Innocent Times'. Rick Danko, Richard Manuel, Bob Dylan, Georgie Fame, and Ron ... Read More

- Some great flashes. Not totally uninspired
First, take this CD for what it's worth, not by the standards set before and after it. So it's not "461," or "Slowhand." That's not necessarily a bad thing. Like Neil Young. Clapton didn't always put out albums for their top 40 value. On the contrary. Particularly at this point in his career, Clapton had earned some license- for better or worse depending on who you ask- to do some things he wanted to do and let the Billboard charts be danged. Yet despite that he could still spit out songs that garnered radio ... Read More

- THE MUSIC TRIES TO AROUSE, BUT GOES BLAH... TOO MANY DRINKS
I'm a git player over 35 years and love EC. This release on his comeback trail in '76 is not much to get happy about. Reports circulated at the time of these recording sessions had found EC drinking very hard and surrounded by the same type of musicans involved. Ex Herion addicts usually go to Alcohol to relieve the JUNK pain from Herion. It is no reason that this release fell on deaf ears when first issued. EC's playing is stiff and mediocre. Even the bonus track added on the CD "LAST NIGHT" does not ... Read More
