Jingle Bells In Memory of Aviccii
It's funny reading the You Tube comments about this song. People can't fathom why Clapton did it. I think it is a lovely tribute to Aviccii. Yes, it sticks out on the album, but I'm glad it is included. It shows Clapton's versatility, too.
Same Auld Lang Syne
Another great story song. This one far more romantic and sentimental. Unlike "Ode To Billy Joe" it has a chorus. Few songs touch the idea of "what if things had gone differently" with more genuine emotion.
Ode To Billy Joe
50 years ago now since this song first graced the airwaves. This is a master course in story song composition that still can give me chills. If you are unfamiliar with it, listen and you'll feel the humid summer of Mississippi come alive.
