It might appear Eric Clapton is displaying a self-deprecating sense of humor with his new album that's coming out March 12th.
The album, which includes two new songs written by Clapton and lots of old standards, is called "Old Sock."
Now according to an Eric Clapton fan site, he got the title from David Bowie. Earlier this year, Clapton contacted Bowie to let him know that he liked his new song, "Where Are We Now." In response, Bowie said something like, "Thanks, you old sock," which Clapton thought would make a great title for his new album.
So there you have it!
The album has a little bit of everthing--some reggae, some blues (a cover of Gary Moore's "Still Got the Blues), and even some old standards ("All of Me," "Goodnight Irene", and "Our Love is Here to Stay.")
Some other "old socks" appear on the album too--including Paul McCartney, Steve Winwood, and JJ Cale.
Here's the official lyric video for one of the two new songs on the album. It features Chaka Khan on backing vocals.

The Jack Johnson show last night was terrific. He'd been coming just to hang out with other musicians, maybe do a late night jam with friends in ALO. Very low-pro, as Jack said. That changed when Mumford had their medical emergency...
Still no mag. This is as close as my phone zoom can get. The dancers are sparkly. Bjork has a dress that looks like duct work from a dryer vent. The hat face thing looks like a cross between bubble wrap and pinhead from Hellraiser. Which could all be...
We waited at the main gate for over a half hour. A dozen safety full were poised to open the fences. Three on horseback provided back up. When they opened them up, it was a speed walk at first. Upon seeing that another, distant gate had...
