Richard Clapton wrote "Deep Water" by himself for Goodbye Tiger, his fourth studio album, which came out in 1977 through Infinity Records and Festival, with James "Ace" Penson behind the drums. Richard Batchens produced the record, the last he made with Clapton and the last Clapton recorded for Infinity.
Clapton started writing the album after one long bender. In October 1976 he and a crew of mates went to Sydney Town Hall to see Hunter S. Thompson, got drunk and stayed that way until he boarded a flight to Germany, where he slept it off at a friend's flat in Frankfurt and wrote the title track. Tiger was the nickname his "beat poet" pals had for him. The album went to No. 11 on the Kent Music Report, and in 2010 the book 100 Best Australian Albums placed it at No. 15.
