Recorded shortly after 461 Ocean Boulevard, the album features a style very similar to its predecessor, but did not enjoy similar commercial success. Clapton's love for the "Tulsa Sound" was apparent here. Background and releaseAfter the success of "I Shot the Sheriff", Clapton and his backing band went to Jamaica to record There's One in Every Crowd. The songs "Swing Low, Sweet Chariot", "Little Rachel" and "Don't Blame Me" are recorded in a reggae style, though the rest of the record is considered blues and rock. However, with his growing alcohol dependency and drug problems in Jamaica, the record was very challenging to record.{{cn|date=January 2019}} Clapton wanted the album title to be "World’s Greatest Guitar Player (There's One in Every Crowd)". RSO didn't like the first part and chose to release the album under the shortened title.[1] Chart performanceThe album reached the Top 40 on three national music charts. Achieving the highest position, number 15, in the United Kingdom, the album was certified with a silver disc by the British Phonographic industry. In the United States, the album peaked at position 21. In New Zealand the album placed itself on number 24 on the official New Zealand music chart, compiled by the Recording Industry Association of New Zealand at the time.

Ruhlmann goes on in his review, noting the "album's best track, naturally, was the blues cover, Clapton's take on Elmore James' 'The Sky Is Crying'". and calling the release "a disappointing follow-up to 461 Ocean Boulevard".[2] Robert Christgau rated the album with a "C+".[5] Augustin Schmidt from the German daily newspaper Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung said that the album, compared to 461 Ocean Boulevard, which charted high in Germany the year before, is disappointing, but not so bad, when you ignore the commercial success of the 1974 release.[4] Track listing{{Track listing|total_length=40:08 |title1=We've Been Told (Jesus Coming Soon) |writer1=Traditional · Willie Johnson |length1=4:28 |title2=Swing Low, Sweet Chariot |note2=Arrangement by Eric Clapton |writer2=Traditional |length2=3:33 |title3=Little Rachel |writer3=Jim Byfield |length3=4:07 |title4=Don't Blame Me |writer4=Eric Clapton · George Terry |length4=3:35 |title5=The Sky Is Crying |writer5=Elmore James |length5=3:58 |title6=Singin' the Blues |writer6=Mary McCreary |length6=3:26 |title7=Better Make It Through Today |writer7=Eric Clapton |length7=4:07 |title8=Pretty Blue Eyes |writer8=Eric Clapton |length8=4:45 |title9=High |writer9=Eric Clapton |length9=3:30 |title10=Opposites |writer10=Eric Clapton |length10=4:52 }} Personnel
