The song is one of four bonus tunes on “Journeyman: Deluxe Edition”, alongside “Border Song”, “That Kind Of Woman”, and “Forever.”
Recorded in New York and London studios with producer Russ Titelman, Clapton’s eleventh record – launched with the lead single “Pretending” – was a Top 10 set in multiple countries and featured guest performances from George Harrison, Phil Collins, Chaka Khan, Daryl Hall, Robert Cray, and more.
In the album's liner notes: "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."
"For Clapton, getting sober for 'Journeyman' is what means the most to him, as he used his experiences at Hazelden to open his Crossroads rehab center on the Caribbean Island of Antigua. He’s helped countless people get clean, helping them achieve the same inner peace he has. In a way, that’s the end of the Journeyman experience: Not only do you work to get better yourself, you turn and help the next generation too."
Clapton himself states: "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."
“Journeyman: Deluxe Edition” is now available in multiple formats, including digitally and on CD/LP.
