With such an iconic cover, I'm sure I don't even need a title here!  After touring with Delaney and Bonnie, along with three other "friends" from that tour, (Bobby Whitlock, Jim Gordon & Carl Radle) Eric Clapton put together the short lived Derek & The Dominos and along with Duane Allman on slide guitar, produced their one and only studio album.  Initially release in 1970 "LAYLA" and other assorted love songs, was poorly received, but by 1972 "Layla", which was also released as a single, had become such a huge hit that the LP sales took off.  A very emotionally raw and personal album for Clapton. This music, written and recorded at a time of turmoil for Clapton because of his love for Patti Boyd (wife of close friend George Harrisons) as well as excessive use of heroin and alcohol, comes through as his most impassioned. Layla, was chosen by the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as one of their "500 songs that shaped Rock and Roll".  Following Layla is their tribute to Jimi Hendrix with his song Little Wing. Hendrix died shortly after they recorded this song.  Lastly is their cover of the blues standard by Jimmy Cox, Nobody Knows You When You're Down And Out, featuring the awesome combination of Claptons Fender and Duane Allmans Gibson Les Paul guitars.
