The very wonderful "We're All the Way" is on there.  He also covered
"Tulsa Time" but that turned up on another album I think.  I have seen
mention of Clapton doing a song called "Country Boy" in concert around
this time and have always wondered if that is the Don Williams number
"I'm Just a Country Boy" (.....' money have I none' .....).  Anyone
know?

Certainly has some countryish stylings here and there.  It also has some
great rockers, like "The Core".
