Hey Ev...
I need your help to confirm my answer. Tell me Ev
The master Slowhand Clapton recorded an album with the tracks "Three O'Clock Blues", "Worried Life Blues" and "Riding With The King".
I need to know what other legendary musician also played on the album containing the above songs?
I think it's BB King. Can you confirm?
Get the coggs working....
Cheers.... Sid

Hmmmm!
The boy Clapton recorded "Worried Life Blues" on two albums: "Just One Night" (featuring Albert Lee on guitar) and "24 Nights" (featuring nobody I would describe as even approaching "legendary" status)...
BB King recorded "Three O'Clock Blues" on a frightening number of albums over the years, but I'm not aware of him having recorded with EC...
I'll investigate further!

Mmmmmmm?
Well if it's any help, the three songs mentioned where all on the same Clapton album.
Also, there is supposed to be a clue in the question so I thought "ahh, must be BB King as it can't be Elvis!" Ha ha!!
This is the actual question....
Question 1; With which legendary musician did Eric Clapton record an album containing the tracks "Three O'Clock Blues" & "Worried Life Blues" & "Riding With The King"?
Oh yeh, there is a Worthingtons Original in it for you!

Well it hasn't been censored yet, so I guess not!
Any news?
There will be another Clapton related question today, so don't let this one laps

Right!
From The Unofficial Eric Clapton Website (which I'm not allowed to link to but you can probably work it out for yourself ), it turns out that Mr C did indeed record an album with BB King last year, surprisingly titled "Riding With The King", so the answer was indeed in the question...
Next please!

Oh good, I must be right.

Third and final question (cos I knew question two anyway!)
Now this is harder.... I must admit that I do not have a clue and will have to reseach this myself. Lets see if we get the same answer!
Question3: Eric Clapton has recorded many songs by fellow guitarist JJ Cale; on his latest album Reptile there's "Travelin' Light". The final question is this.... which of JJ Cale's songs made famous by Clapton talks about a time of the day?
Be carefull with this one as a lot of Claptons bluesy songs talk about or have the time in their titles!
Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm?????????

"After Midnight", I reckon... I wouldn't say he'd made it all that famous though. But it was written by JJ Cale, and Clapton had an American hit with it, so there you are.
Now, what's the prize?

The prize dear boy is an american Fender Stratocaster Blackie guitar signed by old slow hand himself!
Can't be bad!!!
I haven't had a chance to research yet!!!!

Strewth... and all I get is a little buttery boiled sweet?
Oh Font Of All Musical Knowledge!
Sidney Kidney, AKA Gruby Ben, friend of Dirty Den Posted Mar 16, 2001
Yep! I agree... the 1970's released "After Midnight" has come up trumps!!
It's got my vote!
So the three answers are....
No.1 BB King
No.2 Wonderful Tonight
No.3 After Midnight
P.S... Give me your address and I'll send you the bag of toffee's!
