Na albumu za čijeg ko-producenta slovi Claptonov dugogodišnji suradnik Doyle Bramhall II gostoju glazbenici zvjezdanog kalibra, JJ Cale, bubnjar Jim Keltner, basist Willie Weeks, klavijaturist Walt Richmond, a na impozantnu listu kasnije su nadopunili Steve Winwood, Wynton Marsalis, Sheryl Crow, Allen Toussaint i Derek Trucks.

Za svoj novi album, Clapton je kreirao kolekciju sastavljenu od pjesama malopoznatih brass bandova i countrey blues pjesme, ali i od sasvim novih originala. Rezultat takvog izbora je album kakav ovaj najpoznatiji gitarist još nema u svojoj karijeri.

Album će najaviti single ' Diamonds Made From Rain'

"This album wasn’t what it was intended to be at all," says Eric Clapton. "It’s actually better than it was meant to be because, in a way, I just let it happen. It’s an eclectic collection of songs that weren’t really on the map—and I like it so much because if it’s a surprise to the fans, that’s only because it’s a surprise to me, as well."
