Amazon.com essential recording
The 1974 album on which Clapton's solo career truly caught fire, 461 Ocean Boulevard is best remembered for its hit version of Bob Marley's "I Shot the Sheriff"--perhaps the first time many in America ever heard the rhythms of reggae music. But it's also an album on which emotions run high, especially on two Clapton originals, the prayerful "Give Me Strength" and the pleading "Let It Grow." Clapton maintains his grounding in the blues with versions of Robert Johnson's "Steady Rollin' Man" and Elmore James's "I Can't Hold Out"; revisits a rock & roll classic in Johnny Otis's "Willie and the Hand Jive"; and turns the standard "Motherless Children" into a showcase of snarling guitars. Following a period of dark reclusiveness, 461 Ocean Boulevard was a powerful comeback for Clapton. --Daniel DurchholzAmazon.com
This was Clapton's comeback record after a long bout with heroin addiction. Up through 1970 or so, he had been a restless musical seeker, opening rock up with his guitar experimentation, trying to get to the bottom of the blues. There is none of this on 461. He seems relieved just to be alive. It's a low-key affair, and that suits him. Some of his best songs are here, as well as his cover of Bob Marley's "I Shot the Sheriff." Torn and frayed from the melee inside him, this album may be the most personal blues he ever made. --Steve TignorCustomer Reviews:
TANNED, RESTED, AND READY, CLAPTON COMES BACK MELLOW, BUT STRONG, WITH 461 OCEAN BOULEVARD !.......2007-07-03
Barcardi 151 Ocean Boulevard.......2007-02-18
Laid Back EC, Living and Loving in South Florida.......2006-07-26
I have been listening to 461 a lot lately. It holds up exceedingly well. The groove is laid-back, with solid musicianship and expert song selection. It makes for great road music, especially "Willie and the Hand Jive," "I Shot the Sheriff," and the classic closer, "Mainline Florida."
The ballads are beautiful, too. There is not a weak track on the album. There is a consistent tone, an aversion to excess and a concentration on the note and harmonic "fit" that makes this album an overall winner in EC's catalog. As someone who used to party in EC's old house at 461 Ocean Boulevard in Golden Beach in the early 80s, let me say -- you did it (and us) proud.

NOT A BAD ALBUM BY ANY MEANS, BUT A BIT 'PATCHY'.......2006-06-16
HERE ARE A FEW COMMENTS ABOUT INDIVIDUAL TRACKS (* DENOTES A FAVOURITE)(SONGWRITERS IN BRACKETS):
MOTHERLESS CHILDREN (Trad. arr. Eric Clapton/Carl Radle) - A real 'rocker'. Great drumming and slide guitar. Vocals a bit indistinct (perhaps, slightly over-produced).
GIVE ME STRENGTH* (Eric Clapton) - Slow tempo song with some really mellow dobro playing (incl. 40 second solo intro.). EC's vocals are restrained but not without some emotion (as befitting this type of song). Organ accompaniment gives a gospel feel to the sound.
WILLY AND THE HAND JIVE* (Johnny Otis) - Instrumentally unexceptional but great 'shuffling' rhythm and really 'laid back' vocals.
GET READY (Eric Clapton/Yvonne Elliman) - Features EC and Yvonne Elliman sharing vocals. OK, but a bit monotonous.
I SHOT THE SHERIFF (Bob Marley) - I'm not that keen on reggae music (to me, it has a rhythm that 'plods' rather than 'rocks'). Instrumentally, nothing 'to write home about'. However, its a pretty good track - decent song, tight harmony vocals delivered by Yvonne Elliman & co. EC does a good job with a 'pseudo-jamaican' inflection in his voice.
I CAN'T HOLD OUT* (Elmore James arr. Eric Clapton)) - A jazz/blues sound. Features some more amazing slide guitar playing.
PLEASE BE WITH ME (Charles Scott Boyer) - A lilting ditty with a 'folksy' sound. Features acoustic and electric guitar. Pleasant, but a bit too 'sugary' for me.
LET IT GROW (Eric Clapton) - Ordinary song, vocally and instrumentally unexceptional, tedious and 'drones' on a bit.
STEADY ROLLIN' MAN* (Robert Johnson arr. Eric Clapton) - Great percussion and keyboards. Features some nice sharp guitar licks.
MAINLINE FLORIDA (George Terry) - Ordinary song. EC's vocals are drowned by the backing vocals and instruments. Pretty awful really.
AN ALBUM WORTH HAVING FOR SOME EXCEPTIONALLY GOOD 'BLUESY' GUITAR PLAYING AND, ON MOST TRACKS, GOOD VOCALS. NOT BAD AT ALL - BUT OVER RATED. I HAVE THE REMASTERED VERSION OF THIS ALBUM AND OTHER REVIEWERS HAVE COMMENTED ON THE QUESTIONABLE REMASTERING QUALITY - I TEND TO AGREE WITH THEM.

Best Sound From A Classic Album!.......2005-07-20
Back On The Boulevard.......2005-05-06
SACD review.......2004-11-23
However, the surround mix itself is inconsistent. It seems like they were going for an immersive sound stage, but the results are hit and miss.
Right from the start, 'Motherless Children' starts off sounding like the left/right channels are just duplicated in the surrounds, with even the main drum track in the surrounds too. Then in the middle of the song the surrounds contain only what sound like the 3rd and 4th guitar parts. Not sure what happened.
Other songs sound better from a surround standpoint, especially 'Willie and the Hand Jive' and 'Let it Grow,' but everything else in between sounds uninspired.
The most disappointing of all is 'Mainline Florida.' With it's layered guitar parts and keyboards, it should have been the best. But everything sounds shoved together in the front channels with the surrounds being an afterthought.
The extra tracks on the SACD deserve mention, because all three are great songs. The last one, 'Meet Me (Down at the Bottom),' also rates as one of the highlights of the disc from a surround presentation standpoint.

Ocean Boulevard.......2005-10-03
Beach Music Lovers Rejoice - This Is an Awesome Collection!.......2005-06-27
For me, no evening dancing was complete without doing it to my absolute favorite song: Miss Grace. It's still my favorite!
Ocean Boulevard is a dynamite compilation album! It packages all the songs that I remember dancing the night away to plus some of the songs that I wasn't so fond of, but remember sitting at my table sipping beer and tapping my Bass tassle loafers to. Listening to this compilation makes me yearn for the days of college age kids in madras and khakis worn a little too short with no socks - debating the quality of the dance floor at various clubs and whether or not you could get just the "right" spin and twist down.
I'll be listening to this one for some time to come - I've not been able to get decent beach tunes on CD in years.
Ocean Boulevard packages all the really hot numbers you'll remember: the aforementioned Miss Grace; Stay; Thank you John; Under the Boardwalk; (my second favorit) Build Me Up Buttercup; Zing Went the Strings of My Heart; and many more. There are 80 awesome songs on these four CDs. If you are thrifty, think of it as about 60 cents per song!
Get this compilation and you'll be pulling out your grosgrain watch bands and belts; running your madras shirts and pants to the cleaners; and throwing away your socks. It's as close to the Fountain of Youth that I can imagine - and you won't look a fool shagging with your girl in 2005 either! I don't think you can say that about your parachute pants.
GET IT!
