A remastered special edition of Eric Clapton’s 1989 album Journeyman is set for release, featuring four new bonus tracks.
Journeyman: Deluxe Edition will be available digitally, on CD, and on 2 LP on November 21st. The album features classic songs “Pretending,” “Bad Love,” and “Running on Faith,” with guest performances from George Harrison, Phil Collins, Chaka Khan, Daryl Hall, Robert Cray, and more.
Clapton said in a statement: “Journeyman… It’s what I want to be known as; I like to think I’m a craftsman. I think I’m always working on mastering my craft.”
The album’s liner notes: “A few years ago, Clapton was on YouTube, just poking around looking at old footage and songs, and found that fans had uploaded outtakes and bonus cuts of songs from the ‘Journeyman’ sessions. After a search through Clapton’s vaults, these four bonus cuts are now on the album, mixed and mastered anew for this edition. ‘Journeyman’ finds Clapton overcoming battles with alcohol, drugs, and record labels, while celebrating the thing that always kept him running: His endless capacity to chase his music on whatever journey it takes him on, reflecting his life back at him with his guitar playing.”
The announcement included the previously unreleased song “Forever,” written by Jerry Williams, and the accompanying music video; take a look: HERE.
