WOW ! After 35 years in the dust - we get to hear from yet another Gord admirer and a rock n roll ICON of the highest caliber!

Nice job Eric.
For me ? I think you could have made it a bit more Clapton - but that's just a preference not a critique.
I look forward to obtaining this version in December.

Truth is - nobody can replace Lightfoot on this song - it's HIS_TORY and it is so much a part of all of our pasts.

But - once again - nice work Mr. Clapton.
YOU ARE A MEGA MEGA STAR !!!!!!
