Classic album Soulman! It's the record that really got me into guitar playing and the one that got me interested in finding out about the original blues guitar players that inspired Clapton. Through this album I got into people like Buddy Guy and Otis Rush as well as the 3 Kings and Muddy Waters. Another electric blues album I really liked was the Paul Butterfield Band album from the year before.

1966 wasn't a bad year for music with 3 of arguably the greatest ever pop/rock albums being released-the Beatles "Revolver", Beach Boys "Pet Sounds" and Dylan's "Blonde on blonde". This side of the Atlantic we also had the Stones "Aftermath", the debut album from the Small Faces and Donovans "Sunshine Superman" while on the other side Simon& Garfunkel released "Sounds of Silence", the Mamas& Pappas their debut album and for those not into hippyish folk/pop Frank Zappa& the Mothers put out "Freak Out".

Is it just me becoming an old boomer git or is it very tempting to compare this list with the music output of today and conclude that things were better then?
