Icon compiles key recordings from Eric Claptons solo career, drawing primarily from his 1970s and early 1980s output as he moved between blues, rock, and radio-ready pop. Issued as part of Universals Icon series, it offers a concise overview of Claptons work following his tenure with Cream and Derek and the Dominos.

Tracks like the reggae-inflected hit I Shot the Sheriff and the understated ballad Wonderful Tonight highlight his range as both interpreter and songwriter, while Layla appears in its later acoustic form, reflecting its second life as a staple of his live sets. Elsewhere, songs such as Cocaine and Lay Down Sally underscore his ability to balance groove-driven arrangements with a relaxed vocal delivery. Presented here on CD.
