Eric Clapton musically on this album is incredible. His one collaboration with Tina Turner, who was everywhere in the 80s is great and although all the songs seem long at first, the pacing and momentum each song gets is worth investing time into. It's a shame about the album name though as it was named after his child's birth month Conor with whom he tragically lost in the early 90s. Nevertheless, it's an album of celebration and rejoice.
