And they are amongst the best he has even told. Thom has announced that he has tried to â€œbury his Eric Clapton CDâ€™s in a casket under the seaâ€. But, even he will admit that he still has subliminal nods to the king of Cream throughout this amazing album. Read More »Menhirs of Er Grah: Billy Cross’s Daughter [Album Review]
