Information AboutAugust (album) |
''August'' is an album by Blues Rock er Eric Clapton released in 1986 (see 1986 In Music ). Primarily produced by Phil Collins in association with longtime Clapton associate Tom Dowd , it became Clapton's biggest-selling LP to date. Among the highlights are the Dowd/Clapton-produced signature tune "It's in the Way You Use It" (featured in the Paul Newman - Tom Cruise film '' The Color Of Money )'' and three Collins-produced numbers -- the up-tempo, horn-laden "Run" and the guitar-laden rockers "Tearing Us Apart" (with Tina Turner ) and "Miss You." Clapton's studio band for the album included drummer/vocalist Collins; bassist Nathan East and keyboard player Greg Phillinganes ; saxophonist Michael Brecker , trumpeters Randy Brecker and Jon Faddis , and trombone player Dave Bargeron . Veering between Collins soul/pop and Clapton blues/rock, ''August'' cemented Clapton's comeback. Clapton, drummer/vocalist Collins, bassist East and keyboard player Phillinganes would recreate their studio roles in for Clapton's acclaimed live appearances over the next two years.
