Eric Clapton "Life in 12 Bars" soundtrack features Beatles, George Harrison tunes
Beatles tunes don't get anthologized much, but Eric Clapton had a special relationship to the group, having collaborated with George Harrison on a number of projects and, of course, having provided the famed solo on "While My Guitar Gently Weeps."
So, it's no huge surprise to see that tune and a few other Beatles-related tracks included on the soundtrack to "Life in 12 Bars," a documentary film about Clapton now airing on HBO.
The Life in 12 Bars soundtrack is due out June 8 and includes the Beatles' recording of "While My Guitar Gently Weeps," Cream's "Badge" (which was co-written by Clapton and George, and George's "My Sweet Lord," which features Clapton on guitar.
You can order the soundtrack from Amazon now. The film is also out on Blu-ray June 8.
