As I've got the impression there are a few ''Clapton-heads'' on this forum - have you seen/heard this one ?

Nice feel and tempo. Is this actually a new release? I wonder if he will play it on Thursday, opening night for his tour?

I guess they will do more out of it , if this is going to be the main release from the new album. This is basically an advanced Karaoke/lyrics- video.
I seem to remember The Stones did that with their last one... presented a better vid a while after the release.....

One of my favourite Old Sock tracks is the jazzy The Folks Who Live On the Hill composed by Jerome Kern.

Google removed all the leaked videos from YouTube.

Gotta Get Over seems to be getting the high fives for the entire CD.

I bought it and here's my general opinion on the album.

Imagine a jam session at Eric Clapton's house. He's not likely to trot out "Layla" for the 3,478th time. Instead, he and pals with names like Paul McCartney, Chaka Khan and Steve Winwood would probably deep dive into a tasty bag of cover tunes that inspires and delights them.

Such is the cozy feel one gets listening to "Old Sock," Slowhand's 21st studio album and his first on his own Bushbranch record label. Recording primarily with three other musicians, Clapton gives the Gershwin Brothers' "Our Love Is Here to Stay" a sultry, bluesy feel, while Winwood's Hammond B3 Organ-dominated "Still Got the Blues" takes the Gary Moore classic into roller skate rink territory — and delightfully so. Both Taj Mahal's "Further on Down the Road" and Peter Tosh's "Till Your Well Runs Dry" boast unsurprising reggae tinges.

Clapton's guitar wizardry is understated but elegant here, especially on the lilting "Angel" and the muscular "Gotta Get Over," one of the intimate set's two originals.

This "Old Sock" wears well. :D

Chaka shared backing vocals on JLW's rockin' ballad Pretending (The Journey Man, 1989)

Gotta Get Over was a great song. I'm disappointed in the rest of the album though. Just my opinion. Willie Weeks was great.

I'm a little late to the party...but I brought 'Old Sock' when it was released and still play it about once a day. Clapton recorded a video about the album.
