Album Notes & Community Reviews

Recorded in the immediate aftermath of his successful rehabilitation from severe alcoholism, this album represents a focused, creatively revitalized era for the legendary guitarist. Backed by veteran session musicians including Donald 'Duck' Dunn and Ry Cooder, 'Money and Cigarettes' delivers straightforward, unpretentious blues-rock and bouncy pop structures. The title famously reflects Clapton's realization of the only two vices he had left after achieving sobriety.
