Eric Clapton's "Happy Xmas" is available everywhere!

"Happy Xmas" is Clapton’s 24th studio album and his first since 2016’s “I Still Do.” It mixes instantly recognizable holiday classics with lesser-known unique titles along with an original new song “For Love On Christmas Day.” The album also features cover art illustration by Clapton himself.
"I had in my head that these holiday songs could be done with a slight blues tinge, and I started to figure out how to play the blues lines in between the vocals,” said Clapton, who co-produced "Happy Xmas" with longtime music producer Simon Climie. “I got it down and one of the most identifiable songs on the album, the one that became the foundational style, is ‘Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas’.”
Lyrics:
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
Just like the ones I used to know
Where the treetops glisten and children listen
To hear sleigh bells in the snow
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
With every Christmas card I write
"May your days be merry and bright"
"And may all your Christmases be white"
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
With every Christmas card I write
"May your days be merry and bright"
"And may all your Christmases be white"
Yes, may all your Christmases be white

It really was so much harder than I thought but in a way I didn't waste time because I had grown up before I got one so I got to getting better

Mine was a gift from my dad's friend. It really can be hard, music is expensive

I've had a guitar for decades but it never sounds like Eric's. Dear Santa please send my guitar some blues.

[@HPayne62]

Roll down the volume knob and roll up the bass on the amp.

Nobody's guitar sounds like Eric's. Except for Gods.

Felt the same while reading his autobiography ;)

[@leaholivia2275]

He's finally at a great place in his life. Been sober since 1987, far far away from the white stuff. He's able to finally love himself, and live a good and happy life, and Im definitely happy for him.

i believe that musician is B.B King, and the kid is Eric Clapton Edit: Thanks for the likes guys :D

[@Andre-qc1ui]

I am pretty sure it's Robert Johnson

[@Rich6Brew]

@Tong Zou Rich6Brew 1 second ago I agree, and BB King is associated with the ES- 355; something Robert Johnson would never have known about.

[@Martin_Vanlalbera]

Ur all wrong Eric Clapton’s is the black dude and the little boy is b. B. King

OMG WHAT I JUST REALIZED ERIC HAD A CHRISTMAS ALBUM???????? 2 OF THE BEST THINGS COMBINED!

[@egeciftci9810]

This brings me back to how I got my first and current guitar. My family and I were in the same situation for a long time and I was desperately dreaming about a guitar. I was really in love with blues and I couldn't stop listening or thinking about it even for a moment. As the months passed, I started to lose my hope about it but then, a very close friend of my father ( you can count him as a celebrity i guess) gave me an old Gibson Les Paul Custom White ( identical to this guitar's colour) almost for a no cost, and I remember that It brought tears to my eyes. That guitar was waaay beyond my dreams and even seeing it gave me the goosebumps in that moment. Since then, I play Maggie (my guitar) with such a passion and love.

[@joseestrada992]

Nice dude! Who's the celebrity? Bless his heart and merry Christmas!!!

[@egeciftci9810]
