Reseña
"461 Ocean Boulevard" se coció tras las interminables giras de promoción de "Layla and Other Assorted Songs" (1970), el primer y único álbum del grupo Derek and the Dominos, del que Eric Clapton formaba parte y que ha sido considerado por gran parte de la crítica como uno de los mejores trabajos del guitarrista británico. El álbum de los Derek and the Dominos convirtió, además, al ex-guitarrista de Cream en uno de los mejores artistas del pop rock con toques de blues en sus interpretaciones, lo que le convirtió en un gran éxito comercial.
"461 Ocean Boulevard", ahora con Clapton ya en solitario, trató se seguir la estela de aquel gran trabajo anterior. para ello contó con la colaboración del ingeniero musical y productor estadounidense Tom Dowd (el mejor ingeniero de los estudios Atlantic Records en aquella época).
Las imágenes de la portada son obra del fotógrafo estadounidense David Gahr y tanto el título como las fotografías nos hacen pensar que tanto Clapton como los miembros de su banda pasaban largos periodos de relajación en alguna de las casas cercanas a los estudios de grabación de Miami, donde estuvieron trabajando en las sesiones del álbum.
Los temas resultaron tener enorme frescura, en gran medida debido a la gran dosis de improvisación conseguido gracias a la enorme compenetración que demostraron los músicos durante todo el trabajo.
Eric Clapton nos trae algunos temas ya conocidos, como el reggae "I shot the sheriff" de Bob Marley (número uno en Estados Unidos), internándose también en el gospel con el espléndido tema "Give me strength". "Let it grow", uno de los mejores temas del álbum, recuerda el cierto modo el "Stairway to Heaven" de Led Zeppelin.

Father will do the best he can when your mother is dead, lord

[X]letra de Willie and the hand Jive
I know a cat named Way-Out Willie,
Got a cool little chick named Rocking Millie.
He can walk and stroll and Susie Q
And do that crazy hand jive, too.
Mama, mama, look at Uncle Joe
Doing the hand jive with sister Flo.
Grandma gave baby sister a dime;
Said, "Do that hand jive one more time."
Hand jive, hand jive, hand jive,
Do that crazy hand jive.
Doctor and a lawyer and an Indian chief,
They all dig that crazy beat.
Way-Out Willie gave them all a treat
When he did that hand jive with his feet.
Chorus
Willie and Millie got married last fall.
They had a little Willie junior and that ain't all.
Well, the kids got crazy and it's plain to see,
Doing the hand jive on T.V.
Chorus Composición: Johnny OtisMúsicos invitados: Carl Radle (Bass), Jamie Oldaker (Drums), George Terry (Guitar), Dick Sims (Organ), Yvonne Elliman (Vocals), Eric Clapton (Vocals), Eric Clapton (Guitar) - Get readyVer letra 3:50
[X]letra de Get ready
Ready, get ready. Ready.
He's a man who's going to break your heart.
Ready, get ready. Ready.
He's a man who's going to break your heart.
Well, you've been fooling 'round and I don't know why.
Left me on my own, sitting high and dry.
But I'm going to get you back, just you wait and see;
You can't do those things that you're doing to me.
Chorus
I've never needed a running 'round pissing hound,
Checking out the bitches in heat.
You've got a lot of nerve, dishing out what you serve,
Waggling your piece of meat.
Chorus
I want to get revenge on your sinful sins.
I got to get you back for what you did back then.
And now you've got it back, life is misery.
Well, ha ha ha to you, ha ha to me.
Ready, get ready. Ready.
He's the one that's going to break your heart.
Ready, get ready. Ready.
He's the one that's going to break your heart, break your heart,
Break your heart, break your heart.
Get ready, get ready, get ready.
He's the one who's going to break your heart, break your heart,
Break your heart, break your heart,
Break your heart, break your heart,
Break your heart.
Get ready, get ready, get ready.
'Cause he's the one who's going to break your heart, break your heart,
Break your heart, break your heart.

[X]letra de I shot the sheriff
I shot the sheriff
But I did not shoot the deputy
I shot the sheriff
But I didn't shoot the deputy
All around my home town
They're trying to track me down
They say they want to bring me in guilty
For the killing of the deputy
For the life of a deputy
I said
I shot the sheriff
But I swear it was in self defense
I shot the sheriff
And they say it was a capital offense
Sheriff John Brown always hated me
For what? I don't know
But every time that I plant a seed
He said, "kill it before it grows" (2x)
I said
(2x)
I shot the sheriff
But I swear it was in self defense
Freedom came my way one day
And I started out of town
All of a sudden I see Sheriff John Brown
Aimin' to shoot me down
So I shot, I shot him down
I said
(2x)
I shot the sheriff
But I did not shoot the deputy
Reflexes got the better of me
And what is to be must be
Every day the bucket falls to the well
One day the bottom will drop out
Yes, one day the bottom will drop out
I said
I shot the sheriff
But I didn't shoot the deputy
Oh, no, oh, no
I shot the sheriff
But I did not shoot no deputy
Oh, no Composición: Bob MarleyMúsicos invitados: Yvonne Elliman (Backing Vocals), George Terry (Backing Vocals), George Terry (Guitar), Carl Radle (Bass), Jamie Oldaker (Drums), Dick Sims (Organ), Albhy Galuten (Piano), Eric Clapton (Vocals), Eric Clapton (Guitar) - I can't hold out 4:10

[X]letra de Please be with me
Oh my word, what does it mean?
Is it love or is it me
That makes me change so suddenly?
Looking out, feeling free.
Sit here lying in my bed,
Wondering what it was I'd said
That made me think I'd lost my head,
When I knew I lost my heart instead.
Won't you please read my signs, be a gypsy.
Tell me what I hope to find deep within me.
Because you can find my mind, please be with me.
Of all the better things I've heard,
Loving you has made the words
And all the rest seem so absurd,
'Cause in the end it all comes out unsure.

[X]letra de Let it grow
Standing at the crossroads, trying to read the signs
To tell me which way I should go to find the answer
And all the time I know
Plant your love and let it grow
Let it grow, let it grow
Let it blossom, let it flow
In the sun, the rain, the snow
Love is lovely, let it grow
Looking for a reason to check out of my mind
Trying hard to get a friend that I can count on
But there's nothing left to show
Plant your love and let it grow
Let it grow, let it grow
Let it blossom, let it flow
In the sun, the rain, the snow
Love is lovely, let it grow
Time is getting shorter and there's much for you to do
Only ask and you will get what you are needing
The rest is up to you
Plant your love and let it grow
Let it grow, let it grow
Let it blossom, let it flow
In the sun, the rain, the snow
Love is lovely, let it grow
Let it grow, let it grow
Let it blossom, let it flow
In the sun, the rain, the snow
Love is lovely, let it grow Composición: Eric ClaptonMúsicos invitados: Tom Bernfield (Backing Vocals), Yvonne Elliman (Backing Vocals), George Terry (Backing Vocals), George Terry (Guitar), Carl Radle (Bass), Jamie Oldaker (Drums), Dick Sims (Organ), Albhy Galuten (Piano), Albhy Galuten (Synthesizer [ARP]), Eric Clapton (Vocals), Eric Clapton (Dobro), Eric Clapton (Acoustic Guitar) - Steady rollin' man 3:14

[X]letra de Mainline Florida
My heart was leaping in the sun;
My friends all say that you're the one.
Let me get this one thing very clear:
There ain't enough going on down here.
Mainline Florida, oh say.
Mainline Florida, O.K.
Her arms were open, open wide;
Her invitation's a changing tide.
I could remember not long ago
We took a cruise down on Hotel Row.
