Last week (Jan. 16, to be exact) marked the 20th anniversary of Clapton's foray into the acoustic world. "Unplugged," the 1992 album from the show, fared extremely well. It featured acoustic versions of many of his previous hits, including a re-worked "Layla", "My Father's Eyes" and "Tears in Heaven." It won countless awards, including six Grammys, and went certified Diamond (yes, diamond- selling upwards of 10x platinum). It was an epic show, an epic record, and in the midst of its 20th anniversary, Clapton's deeply emotional and near-flawless recording needs to be celebrated.
