Happy Xmas

Eric Clapton

A relaxed, blues-infused holiday collection where legendary guitar tones meet seasonal standards. Warm, unhurried, and surprisingly experimental in its final act.

It's Slowhand playing carols by the fireplace with a glass of scotch in hand.

A relaxed and unpretentious blues-rock celebration that feels like a warm embrace on a cold night.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The unexpected four-on-the-floor house beat and synth pulse that transforms Jingle Bells into a tribute to Avicii.
The way the guitar solo in Christmas Tears bites with a sharp, stinging blues tone that cuts through the holiday cheer.
The intimate, hushed vocal delivery on Silent Night that feels like a private performance in a small room.
