1978 studio album by Eric Clapton
Backless is the sixth solo studio album by Eric Clapton , released in November 1978. Produced by Glyn Johns , and released by RSO Records , Backless reached no. 8 on the pop charts. While the single "Promises " only reached no. 37 on the UK Singles Chart , it was a much bigger success in the US, reaching no. 9 on the Billboard Hot 100 . The follow-up single, "Watch Out for Lucy ", was the B-side of "Promises", but reached no. 40 on the Billboard 100 on its own merit. Later in 1980 "Tulsa Time " was #30 on the Billboard 100 with the 1977 song "Cocaine" as B-side. It was Clapton's last studio album to feature his longtime bassist Carl Radle , who died in 1980.
Critical reception [ edit ]
The Globe and Mail noted that "there is none of the old spectacular playing—the emphasis is definitely on mellow funkiness—but the duet he plays on 'Roll It' with singer Marci Levy has some eloquent licks all the same."[5]
