Crossroads Guitar Festival 2013 Giveaway
11 Dec 13
Here’s your chance to enter to win one of two fantastic prize packs – Eric Clapton’s Crossroads Guitar Festival 2013 Blu-ray + Audio CD or the DVD + audio CD. Where’s Eric! will give them away in a random draw to two lucky winners courtesy of Rhino Records. Crossroads Guitar Festival 2013 is already a global smash on DVD, Blu-ray, CD and digital. The festival, held every three years since 2004, is the ultimate guitar-concert event, where the world’s greatest players perform together to raise funds for the Crossroads Centre in Antigua, a chemical dependency treatment and education facility founded in 1998 by Eric Clapton.
Crossroads Guitar Festival 2013 is available now from Rhino on two Blu-ray discs or as two DVDs. Both versions feature nearly five hours of music across 45 tracks, plus conversations with the artists and other behind-the-scenes footage from this all-star concert. For the first time ever, audio highlights from the festival have been released as a 2-CD set featuring 32 tracks. The audio is also available digitally from iTunes and Amazon.
In addition to rousing performances of blues classics and renowned hit songs, many of the most memorable performances saw artists collaborating. Among the highlights were the surprise pairing of John Mayer and Keith Urban for the Beatles’ “Don’t Let Me Down,” Vince Gill and Clapton taking on “Lay Down Sally,” Keb Mo and Taj Mahal covering the Sleepy John Estes’ song, “Diving Duck Blues,” Gill performing “Tumbling Dice” with Urban and Albert Lee and members of the Allman Brothers – Gregg Allman, Warren Haynes and Derek Trucks – joining forces for a haunting acoustic cover of Neil Young’s “The Needle and the Damage Done.”
Eric Clapton features prominently throughout the show, including with his own band for “Tears In Heaven.” The legendary guitarist also tore through the Derek and the Dominos’ classic “Why Does Love Got to Be So Sad” with the Allman Brothers Band, revisiting the time in 2009 when he joined the band during their annual residency at the Beacon Theater in New York.
