Now Playing: Lianne La Havas, “I Say a Little Prayer” (CROSSROADS)

While it’s never been an annual affair, Eric Clapton’s recurring Crossroads Guitar Festival – the all-star string-slinging event which kicked off in 1999 and took place again in 2004, 2007, 2010, and 2013 – is more than exciting enough for music fans to get giddy when Clapton announced that it would once again occur in 2019.

The event, which took place at the American Airlines Center in Dallas, Texas, raised funds for the Crossroads Centre in Antigua and brought together a typically tremendous collection of guitarists, including – but not limited to – Clapton himself, James Bay, Jeff Beck, Doyle Bramhall II, Gary Clark Jr., Robert Cray, Sheryl Crow, Andy Fairweather Low, Peter Frampton, Vince Gill, Buddy Guy, Sonny Landreth, Lianne La Havas, Los Lobos, John Mayer, Keb’ Mo’, Bonnie Raitt, Robert Randolph, Tedeschi Trucks Band, and Jimmie Vaughan.

And what luck for those of you who weren’t able to be in attendance: on November 20, Rhino will be releasing ERIC CLAPTON’S CROSSROADS GUITAR FESTIVAL 2019 as a 3-CD set, a 6-LP set, a 2-DVD set, and even a 2-Blu-ray set.

Ah, but November 20 is still forever away, which is why we’ve decided to give you a chance to preview a tune from the event on YouTube: Lianne La Havas’s performance of “I Say a Little Prayer.”
