No, No, No! Not Clapton (Score:2)
I think you're slightly confused. Crossroads is a fantastic song, but the definitive version is by Robert Johnson [stormloader.com] (who wrote it).
Of course the mark of a great song is that even Clapton finds it impossible to do a bad version :)

It really is amazing how many modern "blues" comes from the 1920's, 1930's and 1940's, especially from the Delta Blues.
I have few blues cd's but I do have the compilation of most of Robert Johnson's works, "King of the Delta Blues Singers". Simply excellent. Heck, I think I'll fire it up right now!

Well, I went and brought a Robert Johnson CD, and it's very good. Thanks for the tip.
I still prefer the Cream version though... but many of the other tracks he originated are better than the covers I've heard before, as it were.
