Icon LP

Icon pulls together Eric Clapton's solo hits onto one disc, part of Universal's budget-priced Icon series put out through Polydor. It runs through "I Shot the Sheriff," "Wonderful Tonight," "Lay Down Sally," "Cocaine," and "Layla," tracking Clapton's drift across blues-rock, reggae-tinged grooves, and soft-rock through the 1970s. This isn't a deep dig through the catalog, it's a straight shot into his solo work outside Cream and Derek and the Dominos for anyone who just wants the hits stacked in one place.
