Eric Clapton has announced that he will release his 19th studio album, 'Clapton,' on Sept. 28. For his first studio effort in five years, Slowhand has tapped the likes of Steve Winwood, Sheryl Crow, Derek Trucks, Allen Toussaint and Wynton Marsalis. Doyle Bramhall II, who has worked with Clapton in recent years, co-produced the set.

"It's actually better than it was meant to be because, in a way, I just let it happen," Clapton said in a statement. "It's an eclectic collection of songs that weren't really on the map -- and I like it so much because if it's a surprise to the fans, that's only because it's a surprise to me, as well."

The new disc, which follows up 2005's 'Back Home' and his 2006 collaborative album with J.J. Cale, 'The Road to Escondido,' boasts titles like 'Travelin' Alone,' 'Rocking Chair,' 'How Deep is the Ocean' and 'When Somebody Thinks You're Wonderful.'

Clapton's collaboration with Crow comes more than a decade after their well-publicized relationship ended, which resulted in her penning 'My Favorite Mistake' about the guitar legend.

Yeah? Well I would trade my voice for his any day. He is just like people who are shocked when they hear their voice recorded. People hear all of their own insecurities in their own voice. Where others just hear a voice.
He is better equipped than most people, and the man has a little soul as well.
Now if he could just learn a few guitar chords...
