From From the Cradle (1994). From the Cradle is the twelfth solo studio album by Eric Clapton, released on 12 September 1994 by Reprise Records. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender Eric Clapton Stratocaster through a Fender '65 Twin Reverb Reissue, the rig we use for Eric Clapton's other songs from From the Cradle, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.
