McCartney watchers have mostly moved on, but there is a generation of aging fans for whom hope springs eternal that Clapton will return to form. For awhile it was anticipation for a real blues album, but when he finally did it it came out as minstrelsy. Agree with Swanny that that Winwood challenged him on stage, but love is in vain for a serious studio effort. How about a trio of Clapton, Rod Stewart, and Brian Wilson doing Gershwin & Porter?
