Виниловый диск Eric Clapton: Me And Mr. Johnson

Vinyl disc Eric Clapton: Me And Mr. Johnson is the fifteenth solo studio album recorded by Eric Clapton. It consists of covers of songs written and originally recorded by Robert Johnson.

Me and Mr. Johnson is an album that is a tribute to legendary bluesman Robert Johnson. According to Clapton's autobiography, the recordings were not intended to be turned into an album. The band rented a studio, but Clapton didn't have any songs written, so he decided to record songs by Robert Johnson. They recorded quite a lot of material for the album, and it was decided to release everything as is.

Released in March 2004 by Reprise Records with cover art drawn by Sir Peter Blake using a series of photographs by Clapton. Clapton planned to record an album of new material, but not enough had been written by the time the new songs were recorded, so the band instead recorded a series of Johnson songs. Me and Mr. Johnson have sold over two million albums worldwide and reached the top 10 in over 15 countries. An accompanying album and video release titled Sessions for Robert J was released on December 7, 2004 and featured different versions of every song from the studio album.
