Some of Clapton's favourite songs spanning from his childhood to present day, featuring guests JJ Cale, Chaka Khan, Paul McCartney, Steve Winwood, Jim Keltner and more.

'Old Sock', produced by Eric Clapton, Doyle Bramhall II, Justin Stanley and Simon Climie, features two new original songs "Every Little Thing" and "Gotta Get Over".

The album is a collection of some of Clapton's favourite songs spanning from his childhood to present day that highlights his vast appreciation and knowledge of music. From Leadbelly to JJ Cale; Peter Tosh to George Gershwin; Hank Snow to Gary Moore and Taj Mahal, this record is a celebration of so many who have inspired Clapton's rich musical life. Clapton has always had a remarkable ability to recognise great songs and a gift for knowing how to uniquely interpret them, as he does on Old Sock. The album explores romantic standards of the 30's, reggae, soul, rock, and includes a stand out playful collaboration with Paul McCartney, to create an experience that is quintessential Clapton.

Clapton assembled a band for the recordings consisting of longtime collaborators Steve Gadd (drums), Willie Weeks (bass) and Chris Stainton (keyboards) along with some surprise guest additions. JJ Cale joins the song "Angel" for backing vocals and guitar, Chaka Khan joins as backing vocalist for "Get On Over", Steve Winwood on the Hammond B3 Organ on "Still Got The Blues", Paul McCartney on bass/vocals on "All of Me", Jim Keltner on drums for "Our Love is Here To Stay".
