Featuring tunes culled from a handful of albums released in the '70s,
TIME PIECES is a great representation of Eric Clapton's transition from
hi gh-flying guitar hero to a more subdued and introspective singer/songwrite
r/interpreter. In embracing a style influenced by the Band and country
sin ger Don Williams, Clapton's work became more diverse. When Slowhand
wasn't turning J.J. Cale into a household name ("Cocaine," "After Midnight")
he was doing the same thing for Bob Marley and reggae music.

After taking Marley's "I Shot The Sheriff" to the top of the charts in
1974, Clapton's immersion in this then-exotic genre further manifested
itself on his vers ions of Dylan's "Knockin' On Heaven's Door" and the
traditional gospel hym n "Swing Low Sweet Chariot." E.C.'s output during
this period also documen ted the heartbreak ("Layla") and eventual triumph
("Wonderful Tonight") en countered in his pursuit of Patti Boyd (aka Mrs.
George Harrison).
