You know what i love about clapton?, is his sense of style. All blues men seem to go over the top when it comes to the apparel that they wear. Clapton just comes out in a pair of jeans, sneakers and a nike sweatshirt. He's the casual bluesman. I agree with you his last 10-15 years his blues is more honest. And by him getting older i think that blues voice is coming out a whole lot better.
