For fans of Eric Clapton: what to watch, read & play next

Cross-media picks for Eric Clapton fans — films, series, games and books in the same vein.

The picks gathered here share a gravitational pull toward music as identity — the blues tradition, the hunger to play something true, the cost of that obsession. Whether it's a searcher chasing a lost Robert Johnson song in Crossroads, a record exec burning out in Vinyl, or a luthier in the mountains of Virginia building the perfect acoustic guitar in Clapton's Guitar, the thread is the same: music isn't background, it's the whole story. These are works for people who feel that way too.
