Clapton grew up in the village of Ripley in rural Surrey where life horizons were limited. He began to play the guitar while at art school. That’s also where he first heard the blues. It was another example of the collision of black American music with British youth the strange alchemy that produced so much of the greatest pop music of the 20th century. “It’s very difficult to explain the effect the first blues record I heard had on me except to say that I recognized it immediately” he writes. “It was as if I were being reintroduced to something that I already knew maybe from another earlier life. ” He set about trying to play like Big Bill Broonzy and Jimmy Reed and later was introduced to John Lee Hooker Howlin’ Wolf Muddy Waters and Little Walter.
