About this album
August is an album by blues rocker Eric Clapton released in 1986. Primarily produced by Phil Collins in association with longtime Clapton associate Tom Dowd, it became Clapton’s biggest-selling LP to date.
Among the highlights are the Dowd/Clapton-produced signature tune “It’s in the Way That You Use It” (co-written with Robbie Robertson, and featured in the Paul Newman-Tom Cruise film The Color of Money, subsequently reaching #1 on the Mainstream Rock Tracks chart for one week) and three Collins-produced numbers — the up-tempo, horn-laden “Run” and the guitar-laden rockers “Tearing Us Apart” (with Tina Turner) and “Miss You.”
Clapton’s studio band for the album included drummer/vocalist Collins; bassist Nathan East and keyboard player Greg Phillinganes; saxophonist Michael Brecker, trumpeters Randy Brecker and Jon Faddis, and trombone player Dave Bargeron.
Veering between Collins soul/pop and Clapton blues/rock, August cemented Clapton’s comeback. Clapton, drummer/vocalist Collins, bassist East and keyboard player Phillinganes would recreate their studio roles in for Clapton’s acclaimed live appearances over the next two years.
