Behind the Sun is the ninth solo studio album by Eric Clapton, released on March 11, 1985 by Duck Records / Warner Bros. Records. It is Clapton’s first collaborative project with Phil Collins who co-produced the album and played on some of the tracks. While recording the album Clapton temporarily split with his wife.
After nearly a decade of Clapton’s guitar playing taking a backseat to his singing/songwriting, this album contains several guitar solos. The album includes synthesizers and drum machines played by Phil Collins, Ted Templeman, Peter Robinson, Michael Omartian, James Newton Howard, Chris Stainton and Greg Phillinganes, as well as Clapton’s Roland guitar synthesizer on “Never Make You Cry”. Bassists Donald “Duck” Dunn from Booker T. & the MG’s and Nathan East (later of the smooth jazz quartet Fourplay) also played on the sessions.
