Eric Clapton pays homage to one of his greatest influences -- the rural blues musician Robert Johnson, who left behind a legacy of remarkable songs and recordings following his death in 1938 -- in this special DVD-CD release. The DVD in Eric Clapton: Sessions for Robert J. features footage of Clapton and his band rehearing for the tour which followed the release of Clapton's album Me and Mr. Johnson, as well as performing an acoustic set in the Dallas warehouse where Johnson's final recording session was held; the CD features music drawn from the same sessions. Selections include "Love in Vain," "If I Had Possession Over Judgement Day," "Stop Breaking Down Blues," "Hellhound on My Trail," "From Four Until Late," and many more. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Both as a member of the Beatles and as a solo artist, George Harrison was one of the best loved and most influential musicians of his generation, and when he died November 29, 2001, after a long battle with cancer, it was a tremendous blow to the many great artists who were his friends and collaborators. A year to the day after his passing, a handful of pop music royalty who had known and worked with Harrison staged a special concert at London's Royal Albert Hall to play his music and honor his art and memory. Concert for George is a documentary which presents highlights from the Harrison memorial concert, featuring performances by Paul McCartney, Eric Clapton, Ringo Starr, Tom Petty and the Heartberakers, Jeff Lynne, Billy Preston, Jools Holland, Sam Brown, and Joe Brown. A portion of the profits from the film's release will be donated to The Material World Foundation, a charitable organization founded by Harrison. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

This movie is about Joe Cocker's 1970 U.S. tour which began in Detroit and ended in San Bernardino California. The bulk of the film is concert footage with studies of backstage life, life on the road, and a brief interview with a hard-core groupie. Joe Cocker is also a featured performer in the movie of the concert Woodstock, which came out at about the same time as this movie. His hoarse singing style, especially in rock ballads, closely resembles that of Rod Stewart, but his curious spastic gestures and un-selfconscious earnestness as a performer are uniquely his own. ~ Clarke Fountain, Rovi
