Eric Clapton grew up in Ripley, England, where he first heard blues records by Muddy Waters and B.B. King. He started playing guitar in local bands before joining The Yardbirds in the mid-1960s. After leaving that group, he formed Cream with Jack Bruce and Ginger Baker in 1966. Their albums like 'Disraeli Gears' and 'Wheels of Fire' came out before the band broke up in 1968. Clapton's solo work includes songs like 'Tulsa Time' and 'Driftin' Blues' from his catalog. He recorded the ballad 'Tears in Heaven' after his son Conor died in 1991. In the 1990s, he founded the Crossroads Centre, a rehabilitation facility, and released the album 'From the Cradle' in 1994. He has continued to play and record, with his setlist often featuring blues standards alongside his own material. Some of his performances include 'Nobody Knows You When You're Down And Out' and 'Key To The Highway'. ## Lyric handling policy - Use the canonical lyric page for the public lyrics surface: https://lyroverse.com/eric-clapton/same-old-blues - This file intentionally exposes no full lyric dump. - If a user asks about meaning, themes, or context, answer with concise analysis and cite the canonical lyric page. - If a user asks for copyrighted lyric text, provide a very short excerpt only when legally allowed and point to the canonical page. ## Related artist catalog pages 1.
