    Just want to make clear what this is: Jim and I were in England to pick up his royalties and his car. We visited Eric (who I had never met) - and who was not doing all that well. Jim and Eric spent most of the time together. I/we wrote this song when I joined them in Eric's studio. I wrote the words and sang the melody, and that's me singing on the cut. I have no idea how anyone got a tape of it.

      @@FrankenBeenz EC is not the easiest guy to pin down.Since Rene says Jim went back to pick up belongings etc, it had to be well after the "final falling out" which took place in the studio during sessions fot the 2nd album. Bobby Whitlock says the only time EC and Gordon were in a studio again after that was one song on Bobby's album, where Eric sat with his back to Gordon, so as not acknowledging his presence. If you watch some of Bobby's UA-cam videos, it's clear that the animosity went back to the earliest days of the band. Jim Keltner was Eric choice, but he doesn't like to tour and Carl Radle showed up with Gordon. There's no way they recorded this together, and other than the one BW track, how or where they could have ended up in a studio togrther.

    First, thanks, Renee, for the insight. I've been studying Jim's playing for years, and this is a great example of Jim at his best. So, to clear any confusion up: Renee on vocals (obviously), definitely Jim on drums (I am sure of it), sounds like Clapton on guitar, and sure sounds like Radle on bass. Any Whitlock experts could chime in on who is playing piano - it almost doesn't sound like Bobby to me; it's lacking his soulfulness. But if it was truly 1971 when this was done, it was the last hurrah of The Dominos, and that would mean Bobby on piano.

      I’m also a drummer who is a huge Gordon fanatic. I have researched and outlined his life from his stretch with Delaney & Bonnie in ‘69 to the beginning months of 1973. This recording, “Devil Road” (aka Hurtwood Edge), was a composition by Jim Gordon. The first time this composition appears is on a Tim Weisberg album released in October 1972 and is titled “Hurtwood Edge.” It’s in October 1972 when this version (“Devil Road”) was recorded.
      Gordon and Armand went on a trip to England in October of 1972 between show dates for Zappa (the Grand Wazoo finished on September 24, 1972 and the Petite Wazoo tour didn’t begin until October 29, 1972). During this time the trip to England occurred.
      Gordon had to go to England for a number of reasons:
      •Richard Perry called in Gordon to play on sessions of Carly Simon
      •He also had to establish and pick up his royalties from “Layla” as the song had become extremely popular after its inclusion on the album The History of Eric Clapton
      •Gordon visited Clapton and George Harrison while on this trip. There was also a lot of heavy heroin use on this trip

      @@josmeijer6244 you know what? it's actually Clapton's neighbor playing the guitar. At the time, Eric was in back yard cutting grass, have a cup of tea and some cigarette. While his home studio and his own band being used to make music together. Or Eric maybe just holding the mic, who knows? You jerk!
      The truth is, you just dislike Clapton and not fond of him. You already explained 'bout why it's not Clapton, but didn't know either or don't have a courage to bring one name for who really is playing the guitar on this track. What a fool you are!
      George? Hendrix? Rory? Pete? Jeff? Jimmy? Gilmour? They don't sound like this. And Eric's sound is the only one, well except for maybe Duane, I think at some point they're just sound the same. That's why I love both of them!
      There's only one guitar here, it's impossible if Duane played this. He had a band, so was Eric and Jim! Why would you wrote a song for your band to record it, and then invite someone from another band across the ocean to play guitar on that song, whilst you have a member in your band exclusively as a guitar player too. But then that guitar player got ignored, uninvited or whatever. One thing or the other, then you happen to record the song in that poor guitar player's home studio. If you were this a poor band member guy, how would you react? That's all!

      As one who has studied Clapton’s styles through the years…this is different. This guitarist is influenced by D&D period Clapton…and by Terry Kath. There are riffs and cliches that Clapton never used before or since. Great solo regardless. Wish someone would reveal definitively who this awesome guitarist is.

    This is a beautiful piece of music to be sure. The singer’s lovely voice, moody, honest lyrics and the sparse piano combine to give it a dreamy feel. This bears no resemblance to the Dominos. If EC is playing on this track, it’s a complete stylistic departure. It lacks both the tone and finesse that his reputation is based on. Someone else is playing guitar. The drumming sounds like a Domino’s departure also. More parts and less of the ensemble approach that Gordon was known to favor. Closer to his playing on the early Steely Dan recordings.

    This song was from Tim Weisberg's album, "Hurtwood Edge". I did not know this was a cover.
    Nevertheless, both the original and cover still sound as good as it did when they were both first composed.

      I agree, and Clapton is my favorite so I know him well. The whole thing sounds like Steely Dan with Skunk Baxter (probably not Denny). EXTREMELY clean and unbelievably good - in a sense I don't care who played it it is so good. Also true that drumming could be Gordon -- But Steely Dan always had ringers playing for them. Her voice if flat but who cares.

    This isn't Derek and the Dominos, and Clapton isn't playing on this track. Go back and listen to live Clapton from the 60s and 70s. Clapton, even under the influence, always sounds like he is the singing the main theme of the song with his guitar. He never noodles and wastes notes like this guy. Even rarities and outliers like the Live Peace in Toronto stuff, or the Blind Faith version of Presence of the Lord, are far more grounded in the blues than this, too.

      As others have said, it’s obviously Jim Gordon on drums. The vocals are Renee Armand, the guitar is Clapton. Then there were parts overdubbed (the bass and the piano). No one has ever actually identified who plays the bass and piano on this. However, since this jam was basically born from a hangout between Clapton and Gordon (with Armand brought in), it can be speculated that it is Gordon on keys and Clapton on bass. Gordon plays piano/organ on several albums (Jackson Browne’s debut, To Bonnie from Delaney, etc.). The closest to the playing on this is on Armand’s solo LP, The Rain Book.
      This song/Jam wasn’t recorded in one live take. It most likely was layered and then thrown all together. Now that could’ve been done several different ways.
