I Still Do is the twenty-third solo studio album by the English rock musician Eric Clapton. It was released on 20 May 2016 through the independent Bushbranch Records/Surfdog Records label. The album features a combination of new material written by Clapton as well as classic songs, contemporary tunes and influences interpreted in his own style.[1][2]
For the album, Clapton reunited with record producer Glyn Johns and had the album's artwork painted by Sir Peter Blake who also previously worked with Clapton.[3] It is the follow-up to Clapton's global hit album The Breeze: An Appreciation of JJ Cale, released in the summer of 2014,[4] his compilation album Forever Man, released in the spring of 2015[5] and also his commercially successful concert film and live album Slowhand at 70 – Live at the Royal Albert Hall released in late 2015.[6]
The album I Still Do reunites Clapton with veteran record producer Glyn Johns, whose previous production credits include such classic albums as Who's Next (The Who), Sticky Fingers (The Rolling Stones), Mad Dogs and Englishmen (Joe Cocker) and Desperado (The Eagles). Johns also worked as the audio engineer for landmark albums by Led Zeppelin including their self-titled début album. Johns also produced releases by the Steve Miller Band, Humble Pie, The Clash and Rita Coolidge.[1] Clapton and Johns also worked together in the late 1970s on the multi-Platinum selling albums Slowhand (1977)[7] and Backless (1978) – two releases which contained Clapton favourites such as "Cocaine", "Wonderful Tonight" as well as "Lay Down Sally".[8] According to a press release, Clapton said: "This was a long and overdue opportunity to work with Glyn Johns again and also, incidentally, the 40th anniversary of Slowhand".[9]
Blake previously designed multiple pages of artwork for Clapton's 1991 million-selling live album 24 Nights as well as a photo book,[10] containing all of his drawings of Clapton, his band and the Royal Albert Hall in which the album was recorded from 1990 to 1991.[11]
