'Sessions' shows more grit
By -- Winnipeg Sun



SESSIONS FOR ROBERT J
Eric Clapton
(Reprise/Warner)

Slowhand picks up where he left off with last spring's Me and Mr. Johnson, covering more classics by Delta blues pioneer Robert Johnson in assorted settings -- including a Dallas office where the originals were recorded more than 60 years ago.

ON THE DVD: Performances of 16 songs, including Sweet Home Chicago, If I Had Possession Over Judgment Day, Love in Vain and more -- most of which have more oomph and grit than the overly genteel versions on last year's CD -- with plenty of interviews and documentary footage.

ON THE CD: Audio versions of 11 of the DVD cuts.
