Journeyman

"Journeyman" was the 11th solo studio album from Eric Clapton, released in 1989 and was largely considered a return to form for the guitarist and songwriter, who won a Grammy for the hit single “Bad Love”.

On November 21st, 2025, Bushbranch and Surfdog Records will revisit the album for a remastered deluxe edition reissue, complete with 4 bonus tracks from the album sessions.

Here’s a bit about how this deluxe edition revisiting came into existence, per a news release, citing the physical release’s liner notes:

“A few years ago, Clapton was on YouTube, just poking around looking at old footage and songs, and found that fans had uploaded outtakes and bonus cuts of songs from the 'Journeyman' sessions. After a search through Clapton’s vaults, these 4 bonus cuts are now on the album, mixed and mastered anew for this edition. 'Journeyman' finds Clapton overcoming battles with alcohol, drugs, and record labels, while celebrating the thing that always kept him running: His endless capacity to chase his music on whatever journey it takes him on, reflecting his life back at him with his guitar playing”.
