Was Here (1975)No Reason to Cry (1976)Slowhand (1977)Singles from No Reason to Cry"Hello Old Friend" Released: October 1976"Carnival" Released: January 1977No Reason to Cry is the fourth solo studio album by Eric Clapton, released by RSO Records on 27 August 1976. The album was recorded in Malibu and Los Angeles between December 1975 to May 1976. The record went silver in the U.K.RecordingThe album was recorded at The Band's Shangri-la Studios in March 1976, and included involvement from all five members of The Band; Rick Danko shared vocals with Clapton on "All Our Past Times", which he co-wrote with Clapton. The album also includes a duet with Bob Dylan on his otherwise unreleased song "Sign Language". The booklet in Bob Dylan's box set The Bootleg Series Volumes 1–3 (Rare & Unreleased) 1961–1991 describes his involvement in this album: "Dylan dropped by and was just hanging out, living in a tent at the bottom of the garden. He would sneak into the studio to see what was going on." Dylan offered his new, unrecorded song "Seven Days" to Clapton. Clapton passed on it, but Ron Wood took him up on the offer and released it on his third solo album Gimme Some Neck. The song "Innocent Times" is sung by Marcy Levy, who also shared vocals with Clapton on "Hungry". In the bonus track "Last Night", added in the 1990 re-release, Clapton shares vocals with Richard Manuel.Chart performanceNo Reason to Cry is one of Clapton's most internationally successful albums from the 1970s. The release reached the Top 30 in seven national music album charts, hitting Top 10 in United Kingdom (peaking at No. 8) and in the Netherlands, where it topped out No. 9. The album was certified silver in the United Kingdom. In Norway and the United States, the album charted at No. 13 and No. 15 respectively, while in New Zealand and Sweden, it reached No. 18 and No. 24 respectively.Critical receptionProfessional ratingsReview scoresSourceRatingAllMusicChristgau's Record GuideB−AllMusic critic William Ruhlmann awarded the release 3.5 of five possible stars, writing: "No Reason to Cry is identifiable as the kind of pop/rock Clapton had been making since the start of his solo career", adding "the most memorable music on the album occurs when Clapton is collaborating with members of the Band and other guests". Finishing his review, Ruhlmann called the release "a good purchase for fans of Bob Dylan and the Band, but not necessarily for those of Eric Clapton". Rolling Stone journalist Dave Marsh finds, the album recordings are "much more mélange than masterpiece". Robert Christgau rated the album with a "B−" and calls the album "a well-made, rather likable rock and roll LP", noting the "singing is eloquent and the instrumental signature an almost irresistible pleasure".Track listingsNo.TitleWriter(s)Length1."Beautiful Thing"Rick Danko · Richard Manuel4:262."Carnival"Eric Clapton3:443."Sign Language"Bob Dylan2:584."County Jail Blues"Alfred Fields; arranged by Eric Clapton4:005."All Our Past Times"Eric Clapton · Rick Danko4:406."Hello Old Friend"Eric Clapton3:367."Double Trouble"Otis Rush; arranged by Eric Clapton4:238."Innocent Times"Eric Clapton · Marcy Levy4:119."Hungry"Marcy Levy · Dicky Simms4:3910."Black Summer Rain"Eric Clapton4:55Total length:45:59
