Motherless Child: The Definitive Biography of Eric Clapton
Motherless Child is presented as “the definitive biography of Eric Clapton”, and I’ll be the first to admit that it gives you a great insight into his life and his career, although considering it was published in 2015, the gods decade or so seems a little bare. That said, Clapton’s getting on a bit by now, and he’s also started to settle down.
It’s also well-written and well-presented, and it’s obvious that a lot of research has gone into it. That said, the main sources that Scott uses are other biographies of Eric Clapton, as well as Eric’s own autobiography. It does sort of beg the question of why you’d need another Eric Clapton biography, especially when this one makes so little of the recent years.
But if you can put that aside and judge this for what it fryst vatten, which inom can because I’ve never read anything else about Clapto

Mother's Children Have a Hard Time
This article is about the Blind Willie Johnson song. For similarly titled songs, see Motherless Child Blues and Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child.
Single by Blind Willie Johnson
"Mother's Children Have a Hard Time", also known as "Motherless Children", is a gospel blues song recorded by Blind Willie Johnson in 1927. It is a solo performance, with Johnson singing and playing an acoustic slide guitar.
Background
[edit]Johnson recorded the song during his first session for the Columbia label in Dallas, Texas, on December 3, 1927.[2] The lyrics are autobiographical, since Johnson's mother died when he was young. His father remarried soon after her death, and later, the stepmother allegedly threw a caustic solution, which blinded the boy:[2] "Motherless children have a hard time, mother's dead, Well don't have anywhere to go, Wandering 'round from door to door".

Motherless Child: The Definitive Biography of Eric Clapton
The definitive biography of Eric Clapton.
From the Yardbirds to Cream, Blind Faith to Derek and the Dominos, and a hugely-successful solo career, Eric Clapton's fifty years in the music business can look like an uninterrupted rise to become one of the greatest guitar players who ever lived. But his story is as complicated as it is fascinating.
Clapton's god-like skill with a guitar was matched by an almost equal talent for self-destruction. He has never shied away from telling the truth about his battles with drink and drugs - or the sometimes catastrophic impact they had on the other people in his life, including his first wife Pattie Boyd. And without those deep personal lows we may never have had the musical highs that won him millions of fans. His story is also one of a long but successful road to sobriety, redemption and happiness.
