There are two possibilities when you reach the artistic heights of Layla. You keep on burning the candle like that and you die, or you get straight and become really frickin milquetoast. He's probably pretty happy to be alive, but yeah, his music definitely got boring. Any edge he ever had has been blunted by time, sobriety, and bad advice from stylists. The journeyman period was particularly lame. At the end of the day, he's an upper-middle class white kid from Surrey. His blues will never really be authentic, but he plays it honestly I guess.
the best he came up with was Layla

Clapton and Johns most famously worked together on Clapton’s iconic 'Slowhand' album, which is 3x-platinum and topped charts globally. The 12-track record contains some original songs written by Clapton including "Spiral."
