He himself owns, as I described in previous reviews, this impressing aura. And if I didn't know it better, you could easily give him a certain arrogant ego. But don't worry, He ain't like this and actually is a very nice down to earth guy, who is carrying a lot about his fans before and most of all after show. Apart from that, there are all these girls in the front row at his shows, dropping their sparkling eyes on him with such a passion, just as their mother's did with Elvis or the Beatles, just with the slight difference that those back then, were a little more famous as our Eric here is right now. 
And by the way, he still belongs to those kind of artists, who play their butts off, but didn't make it yet to jump out of the Club scene onto the big stages. And you ask yourself - why?! Although the answer is pretty simple. Blues or Blues Rock is sailing on the edge on the international ocean of music. And it's the very young generation who are not familiar with this at all. And if your name is not Eric Clapton, then you don pretty hard in the Blues genre. On the other hand - thanks god, there is still a small audiance for this musicial style, and this one consists of us elderly one's who have grown up with the Blues or some Youngsters, who have been brought up by their parents with the Blues - lucky them!
