"I Still Do"  -  двадцать третий студийный альбом Эрика Клэптона, вышедший 20 мая 2016 года. Альбом включает как новый материал, так и кавер-версии классических песен Боба Дилана, Роберта Джонсона и других авторов.
Продюсировал альбом Глин Джонс (Glyn Johns), который уже работал с музыкантом над легендарными полноформатниками Slowhand (1977) и Backless (1978).
Релиз стал очень успешным и во многих странах возглавил национальные чарты или вошел в Топ 10, став 6-м в Великобритании и US Billboard 200. Также он получил в основном высокие оценки музыкальных изданий и критиков, что отразилось в итоговом обобщающем рейтинге Metacritic c показателем 74/100 ( оценка ближе к выдающейся).

Первое оригинальное европейское издание альбома на компакт-диске в тройном разворотном картонном конверте (Trifold Cardboard Sleeve), с буклетом и постером.  

The album was produced by Glyn Johns who had worked with Clapton on Slowhand (1977) and Backless (1978). The album's artwork is a painting of Clapton by Peter Blake who also previously worked with Clapton. It is the follow-up to Clapton's global hit album The Breeze: An Appreciation of JJ Cale, released in the summer of 2014, his compilation album Forever Man, released in the spring of 2015 and also his commercially successful concert film and live album Slowhand at 70 – Live at the Royal Albert Hall released in late 2015.

             *****
Британский рок-музыкант Эрик Клэптон - это человек-легенда, который за свою долгую и яркую жизнь успел стать настоящей звездой в мире музыки. Благодаря изучению классиков блюза, а также в результате усиленной работы над собой и над гитарой Клэптон всего за два года сумел достичь значительного мастерства и стал играть в местной группе The Roosters. Пора признания настала для эрика в 1963, когда его пригласили играть в группу The Yardbirds. В 1966 артист решил создать собственную группу. Изначально предполагалось, что новая группа Cream будет играть традиционный блюз, но коллектив стал известным благодаря музыке в стиле хард-рок, электрический джаз или прогрессивный рок. Клэптон стал единственным музыкантом, который трижды был включен в Зал славы рок-н-ролла: в качестве сольного исполнителя и члена рок-групп Cream и The Yardbirds. Журнал Rolling Stone включил Эрика в список величайших гитаристов всех времён на втором месте. Эрик Клэптон записал огромное количество песен и альбомов, имеет множество наград, музыкальных премий и орден Британской империи.
