Eric Clapton - From the Cradle Reviews:
Great book 
2008-12-24 - First let me say that the album From the Cradle is a treasure trove of classic blues tunes wherein Eric Clapton shows us the dedication he has had his whole life to the real blues from the masters. Nobody but Clapton plays like this, period. In this book I have found great transcriptions that will keep me busy for years. I am a musician, have played guitar for years, and this book will be a challenge for me. If you are brand new to guitar, you may want to start somewhere else, but really, if you take this bar by bar with the album, learning both guitar parts a bite at a time, it will be a great education for any aspiring blues guitarist of any level. Kudos to Hal Leonard and the transcribers for a job well done.
From the Cradle Eric Clapton Music book review by Mike Elliano
2008-04-01 - This is essential blues training for guitar. Don't let the leads let you think that this is the average EC book. Try playing the Rythem sections. You'll find that they are tough but engaging. The leads are another story. Pure slow blues with soul. I agree with the other writers on that one. This book and CD should be more well known. Out of all Eric Claptons albums this to me is his best. Listen to the CD first and see if you don't want to grab your guitar. Also, go on youtube and pull up the "Groaning the Blues" video. If you watch that you'll buy this book.
From the Cradle songbook - great resource!
2000-06-03 - Great for all levels of blues guitarists - beginners can get the chords to these great blues songs and more advanced guitarists can read the note-for-note transcriptions and spend many a night going over Eric Clapton's wonderful guitar solos.
this book is the soul of blues
1999-11-24 - a great book muist have for any guitar wanting to expand their guitar vocabulary if you study this book people will be blow away by the crazy blue you know and thats the whole point is to get other people amazed
Poor transcription 
1999-07-14 - I really have had it with people that attempt to transcribe EC they always reduce it to the lowest common denominator of the transcribers knowledge of pentatonic scales.
