King King and Ben Poole tip hat to Eric Clapton and Robert Cray

King King and Ben Poole made the trip across the pond for rare United States appearances at Playing With Fire 2025 in Omaha, Nebraska. During the encore of King King’s headlining set, Alan Nimmo introduced Ben Poole on stage to join the band. King King, along with Poole, performed a rendition of “Old Love,” written by Eric Clapton and Robert Cray. The song was featured on Clapton’s Journeyman album in 1989, and also appeared on King King’s debut album, Take My Hand, in 2011.

Watch the performance, which earned a standing ovation, below.

King King frontman Alan Nimmo was recently interviewed on the Blues Rock Show and went deep on the music business, the next King King album, and more, which you can watch here.

Ben Poole will also guest on the Blues Rock Show in a new episode set to be released on Monday, August 25.
