Eric Clapton was born on March 30th, 1945, which means the man known as Slowhand is turning 71 this year. While he’s pledged to cut down on his touring, Clapton is still committed to making music. He’s got a new album titled I Still Do, due out May 20th and produced by his old producer, Glyn Johns, which is a solid way to celebrate a 50-year career of great licks and outstanding songs.
