Journeyman is an album by blues/rock musician Eric Clapton, released in 1989.
The album has an electronic sound, mostly influenced by the 80's rock scene, but it also had blues songs like "Running On Faith" and "Hard Times". The strongest single from this album was "Bad Love," which earned him the 1990 Best Male Performance Grammy Award, and reached the #1 position on the Mainstream Rock Chart.
The album was only a mild commercial success, reaching just the 16th position on the Billboard 200 chart. This is one of Eric Clapton's favourite albums.[citation needed]
