By the Numbers
Another Ticket is Eric Clapton's 1981 studio album and his last release on RSO Records, produced by Tom Dowd, who had overseen 461 Ocean Boulevard and Layla. The album's lead track, 'I Can't Stand It,' became one of Clapton's biggest US hits, reaching number ten and demonstrating that his commercial instincts were still sharp entering the new decade. 'Another Ticket' (the title track) and 'Rita Mae' are among the album's originals, while blues cover 'Hold Me Lord' and 'Lead Me On' reflect the gospel influence that had run through his post-addiction work. Another Ticket is a well-crafted but transitional record, professionally executed and commercially successful, but pointing toward the more polished pop production that would define his 1980s work with Phil Collins. The album's combination of commercial success and professional polish confirmed that Clapton's recovery from heroin addiction had not diminished his instincts as a craftsman, and its confident mainstream rock presentation set the template for the accessible, tasteful adult rock that would define his commercial output through the decade.
