Eric Clapton je anglický rockový a bluesový gitarista, spevák a skladateľ, považovaný za jedného z najvplyvnejších gitaristov v histórii rocku. Trojnásobný člen Rock and Roll Hall of Fame (s The Yardbirds, Cream a ako sólový umelec), umiestnil sa na druhom mieste v rebríčku „100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time“ časopisu Rolling Stone.
Box set The Complete Warner Studio Albums, Volume 1 na 12 LP zhromažďuje štúdiové albumy, ktoré Clapton nahral pre vydavateľstvo Warner Bros. Kolekcia zahŕňa široké spektrum jeho tvorby – od blues rockových skladieb ako I've Got a Rock 'N' Roll Heart či Bad Love cez tradičné bluesové štandardy (Hoochie Coochie Man, Five Long Years) až po introspektívne balady vrátane My Father's Eyes a River of Tears. Materiál pokrýva rôzne obdobia Claptonovej kariéry a jeho rozmanitý prístup k blues, rocku i osobnému songwritingu.
