ÁLBUM DA QUINTA

JOURNEYMAN - 1989 - ERIC CLAPTON

Journeyman é o décimo primeiro álbum de estúdio de Eric Clapton, lançado em 1989. O álbum foi anunciado como um retorno de Clapton, que lutou contra o vício do álcool em meados da década de 1980 e agora estava sóbrio.

O single mais forte comercialmente deste álbum foi "Bad Love", que lhe rendeu o prêmio de Melhor Vocal Masculino no Grammy Awards de 1990 e alcançou a posição Nº 1 na parada de álbuns Rock. "Pretending" também tinha alcançado a posição de Nº 1 na parada de álbuns do rock do ano anterior, permanecendo no topo por cinco semanas ( "Bad Love" só permaneceu por três semanas).

O álbum foi apenas um sucesso comercial moderado na época, alcançando o número 16 na Billboard 200 chart, mas com o tempo virou seu primeiro álbum solo de estúdio a ganhar disco de platina duplo. Este é um dos discos favoritos de Eric Clapton.
