Clapton best album, Duane Allman on slide. Bobby Whitlock shares vocals. What a song, what an album! What a band!
Allman brothers band was fully capable on their own. They gave Clapton a new niche. Clapton got stuck in a rat wheel trying to turn everything into Allman brothers and putting his name on it. Clapton had his best performances with Cream. It was for my ears all downhill from there, trying to take the sounds of others and calling it his own. Marley, Allman brothers, SRV. I'm sure many others. I believe this is why he's not as liked as is being projected.
@@Greg-io1ip I disagree, Derek and the dominoes is the best album Clapton ever made. Followed by from the Cradle. Making one Bob Marley cover does not make your comment so. What other reggae song does Clapton perform besides I shot the sheriff. Also there isn't a single song where Clapton sounds anything like the Allman bros. You're out of your mind. Clapton was a student of the 3 kings, Albert, BB and Freddie as was Duane Allman. They had very similar influences but sound nothing alike. Better get your ears checked
So, SRV didn’t take the sound of Hendrix, and use that in any of his songs (not just Hendrix covers, but some of his mellower songs with Hendrix-like qualities-Life Without You, etc)?? No other blues/rock players borrowed/built on the work of others?? The idea is ridiculous. That’s like saying because Led Zeppelin borrowed/stole some riffs and lyrics from older blues players (who Clapton always acknowledged), Zeppelin never had any original material. To say that is an ignorant statement, and the same goes for Clapton. He was basically a crooner by nature, (who discovered his voice in the early 70s), and he could have been famous as a singer if he focused on that, without playing guitar at all (imo)… though I’m glad he did.
I agree completely. Not to be mean-spirited, but somebody needs some Qtips, lol. Also if not for Clapton recording I Shot the Sheriff, Marley would NEVER have become as successful and well-known in the US as he did, so I’m pretty sure he appreciated it. I could be wrong, but I get the feeling this guy is one of those “cultural appropriation” nuts. It’s okay for people in non-western countries to “appropriate” American music (or British music), and to eat pizza, wear blue jeans, and sing Elvis Presley songs though, right?? What a load of crap!!
@@Fred-gv3kh bunch of pillow biters who are full of it
Singing is Eric Clapton & Bobby Whitlock. Bobby was in the group of Bonnie & Delany. It was Delany Bramlett that told Eric that he had a gift of singing- "use it or lose it" is what he impressed upon Eric. This was prior to Derek & the Dominos. Bonnie & Delany opened for Blind Faith, how they all became friends.. even played together along with George Harrison. They were billed as Bonnie, Delaney & Friends. Dominos were After those sessions. Bobby has a southern gospel background. He & Eric were the singers for the Dominos. Duane Allman was invited to join them, but stayed with the Allman Bros, but he did play slide on the Layla album. AN ICONIC ALBUM!
🔥🔥🔥🔥👍🏻
I saw Blind Faith in Vancouver in 1969 with Bonnie, Delaney and Friends second on the bill and Clapton played with them during their set. The one that really blew me away with his talent was Stevie Winwood...vocals, keyboards, guitar...he could do it all...
George Harrison, Dave Mason and Duane Allman all toured as Delaney and Bonnie's Friends too. So did bass player Carl Radle and drummer Jim Gordon.
@@coinneachmaclellan3121 Stevie Winwood is the greatest rock musician ever.
This is one of my favorite albums. Every song sounds like a live jam.
They were. Om most of those songs they jammed on it a bit, then started the song proper. One song, I think it's "Key to the Highway", starts out with the jam already running then segues into the song and vocal.
@@michaelgray4964 Recorded live in studio. May be why its so hard to remaster, I don't know. Maybe someone with production experience would know.
Every track was a live jam. The participants were extremely stoned, but they're great players. A second album was released, but this one is the one to have in your collection. Clapton might have been god, but he was a demi-gold next to Duane Allman.
This is one of my top 5 albums, Clapton's best. I listen to it often, still get goosebumps after 50 years!
The amazing Carl Radle on bass, by the way. Thanks guys!
Cream was Clapton's pinnacle. It's really not debatable after the ears hear.
@@Greg-io1ip Even Clapton didn't think that. Why would he see 3 musicians constantly soloing over each other as a pinnacle? That being said, IMO, Clapton had the best 5 year run of any rock guitarist ever from 1966-1970. Page is up there too with multiple exemplary 5 year runs. However, neither comes close to the runs of the greatest jazz guitarists out there.
One of my alltime fav' albums, Especially love "Why Does Love Got to Be So Sad", "Bell Bottom Blues" and "Nobody Knows You When You're Down and Out"
Couldn't agree more!
Entire album is 🔥. Definitely one of the best ever.
This album is a masterpiece!!! Every player at top of their game! Just having fun. Key to the highway jams!!! Clapton and Allman on why does love got to be so sad!!!
In case you didn't know, Tedeschi-Trucks Band released an album where they recreated and done every song from this album Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs. It's a very good listen!!!
I never knew that......Thank you for the recommend 👍
At about 6:42 Clapton hits the same note 20+ times in a row. And it's PERFECT.
I listened to this last night with an ear to what Clapton is doing and noticed this also. As a guitarist, you don't have fill every space with a flurry of scales. One note repeated, playing against the rhythm can say more. I first heard many of these songs on a compilation in 1973 when I was 14. Still one of the most powerful experiences.
Greatest album in rock history, and by quite a distance.
This is one of the best albums - ever.
Thanks for all of your reactions. You will be completely blown away by “Key to the Highway” (STUDIO VERSION!!!) from the Layla album by Derek And the Dominoes. Eric Clapton and Duane Allman (two of the best guitarists on the planet) jamming out and playing just for each other). This is pure heartfelt, badass blues, art This was a late night jam that almost didn't get recorded.

I'm from Macon, GA. My friend, John Michael Brown, hung out & rode motorcycles with Duane. Being such a generous person, Duane gave John Michael a pigskin jacket (there are photos of Duane wearing it). On the day the ABB left for New York's Fillmore East, they left the Sunshine Club (aptly named, I'm sure, for the readily available LSD there. John Michael was there that day, and he heard Duane gathering up the rest of the Brothers, saying, "Come on, boys. Let's go make history." And they DID indeed make history with one of the best, if not THE best, live album ever. I appreciate your reactions; hands-down, the best channel here. I don't know if you've reacted to "Bell Bottom Blues" from the "Layla" album, but it absolutely beautiful!
For Me,the Best Rock Album EVER!!!!
Tedeschi Trucks band does an excellent version of this tune, definitely worth a listen
Yes!! They do it LIVE. Outstanding re-do IMO.
Every song on this album
Is “dope.” 😉
They did 2021 a great live version of the complete album: Tedeschi Trucks Band - Layla Revisited (Live at Lockn’)
All tracks and many of the vidoes are on YT
An utterly classic album, Clapton with his last great album before he went into cruise control (after his drug addiction messed him up) and he took awhile to get his mojo back (but sure has since his journey back to the blues in the 90s). Another of many great tunes from it is his amazing cover of Jimi Hendrix Little Wing, for me my favorite cover of that song. Great tunes, enjoy! 🎵🎸🎤🎹🎶
They were all doing loads of coke, smack and Jack while recording this masterpiece. I guess that's called the key to unlocking their creativity. LOL
Key to the Highway is a great one blues with great guitars that go hard is one well worth a listen
One of the singers on this song is Bobby Whitlock. He probably taught Clapton more about singing soulfully than anyone else. Bobby also sang with Sam and Dave and Booker T and the MG's. He sang and played with Delaney & Bonnie and Friends as did Clapton during one tour.
Props on that!!
Great great album. So much talent. Clapton on fire Duane on slide.
“Have you ever Loved a Woman” … My favorite Clapton song. Every cut is amazing.
One of the best albums ever made. Easily.
To me guys, this is one of the best albums of all time! Great musicianship, soulful, bluesy, great song writing. While in Cream, Eric Clapton heard The Bands first album and it blew him away. He wanted to change after that and joined Delaney & Bonnie after Blind Faith which played more bluesy country, rock & roll to really rediscover his music. The Band inspired him and after put this masterpiece together he with Bobby Whitlock which was a completely different sound than when he was with the Blues Breakers, Cream & Blind Faith.
Bell Bottom Blues will blow y’all away! It’s beautifully Haunting!
Another gem! Thanks guys for this one!
Clapton is the man on that guitar and sings great too!!❤
This band has such a rich history. Clapton toured with Blind Faith and the opening act was Delaney and Bonnie. This was their backing band for the most part. Clapton started playing with Delaney and Bonnie during the tour and afterwards toured Europe as a member of Delaney and Bonnie and Friends. He brought George Harrison with them. There are videos out there of them of that European tour. Then Clapton took the band without D&B and formed Derek and the Dominoes. In the U.S. he added Duane Allman. Carl Radle on bass, Jim Gordon on drums, Bobby Whitlock on piano.
That bass player is THE ONE AND ONLY CARL RADLE. Fellow Tulsan. RIP Carl.
Yep Clapton and Whitlock featured in this one, just a cool jam.
The other guy singing is Bobby Whitlock, GREAT musician from Nashville. The only AMERICAN in the Group & also the only American on George Harrison's "All Things Must Pass" sessions!
Everyone but Clapton was American
Big Soul Airplay Beats - the version of "Have You Ever Loved A Woman", "Why Does Love Have To Be So Sad?", and "Thorn Tree In The Garden" are all songs you should react to. So many amazing songs on this album. Thanks for all the ones you've already played.
This album is musically brilliant!
Good observation about the reggae feel in the bass. I Shot The Sheriff was from a Clapton solo album, a few years after the Dominoes…but, same bassist, the great Carl Radle. He uplifted every band he played with 👍
And Radle was not a reggae bassist per se, just a fine musician who could instinctively find the perfect bass line for any style/feel the song needed 👍
This whole album is phenominal! Not a bad track on here…and given the story/inspiration behind it (Clapton’s unrequited love for Patti Boyd Harrison) and how the hooked up with Duane Allman just makes it all the better. Complete fire. That is Bobby Whitlock singing lead on this one. You should check out the whole album
My favorite EC album. Clapton, Whitlock and Allman are pure magic. Clapton said in an interview he didn't put his name on the album title because he wanted to see if the songs had merit on their own! Gotta love it.
Country Artist - Travis Tritt wrote a song: Put Some Drive in Your Country. A line says it best…
“Damn, I miss Duane Allman, wish he was still around”
I agree. Seems Clapton after Cream was busy copying the sound of everyone else. He did good versions of others' music,but after Cream, Clapton was pretty much copying Marley or Allman. Clapton after Cream overrated. Sadly.
Clapton's best by a mile. Duane Allman brings this to another level. Just wonderful music.
Duane didn't play on "Keep on Growing", "Bell Bottom Blues" and "I Looked Away"
I saw Eric Clapton in 05 and Derek Trucks was playing with Eric's band. It is magical to see Eric with the best alive slide player
Definitely worth listening to entire album ✌️
That's why I still have the album
A great double album with Clapton and Duane Allman playing scorching guitars... amazing stuff! Check out the title track "Layla" and also a great blues song "Key to the Highway"
There are three lead guitar players in the final segment of the lead section. It’s very busy and you have to have fast ears to hear it all. The remaster version has some different sounds from the original, which I purchased back in 1973.
Fantastic album. Never repeated this level of Rock after this one!
Great tune from a truly great album. Best rock love song album ever. Don't know if you've done "Why Does Love Got To Be So Sad," one of the finest guitar duos of them all. Duane and Eric laying it down..
Bell bottom blues is my favorite!
Great album. Somebody comes in early after the first guitar solo, but they kept it. Makes such a real and organic sound. There are 2 major guitar players with Duane Allman along with Eric Clapton.
The mix was remastered (though the original producer was the legendary Tom Dowd). If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Know what I mean? There is a documentary about the making of the Layla album where Tom Dowd walks you through the recording process and isolates the different parts. It's well worth the time to watch it.
Clapton went in and laid down about 5 guitar tracks, weaving them all together, but there were no vocals, so they were gonna shelve it. Bobby Whitlock, keyboardist and co-vocalist said give me 20 minutes, wrote down the lyrics, called Clapton up to the microphone, and they both sang it.
Tedeschi Trucks Band does a great cover of this. It's a standard in their live performances. They recorded this entire album live with Trey Anastasio a couple years ago and issued a live album, as well.
The last Jimi Hendrix reaction y'all did, I posted a comment about how great Exile on Main Street and Physical Graffiti were and that they were double albums and I suggested you add Electric Ladyland to the list. Now I am going to say that Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs belongs on that list. Chicago Transit Authority too....
You guys are absolutely right. The first ting I did when I got that box set is trade out the main disc for a previous release. I always wondered if somebody had a beef with Duane because they did the same thing to Boz Scaggs iconic 1st album. Then again maybe the engineer just had his head up his ass. Some things you just don't f#%k with. During that time they were trying to brighten up everything. No wonder so many people held on to thei vinyl for dear life. Please go ahead and check out a different mix. Then you'll hear Eric & Duane pushing each other to the brink.
Try Bellbottom Blues 👈😎 In the long form documentary of EC with his collaboration, he says the first time Derek And The Domino’s were officially recorded “in session,” was backing George Harrison on his Classic album, All Things Must Pass. A must own record.
Carl Radle on bass guitar. From Tulsa Oklahoma. One of Leon’s friends
This album is awesome, and speaking of awesome Tedeschi Trucks Band does an incredible cover of this tune...just saying
Clapton played 4 outros and mixed them. Also, Duane Allman join the band the day after this song was recorded. Tracks 1-3 (Keep on Growing is 3) were before Allman. Duane played on the rest, tracks 4-14.
Deep....Love It!
Whereas "Layla" is a Clapton song, this is an Allman Brothers song. When Clapton went to Florida after his "break-up" with George Harrison's ex, he went to see the Allman Brothers, met Duane backstage, and Duane invited him to come and "jam" with him. They recorded it and put it out as an album. "Studio Jam-1970". They just sat around "noodling".
No, the first several songs (including Keep on Growing) are all Clapton on guitar - Duane hadn't joined D&Ds yet. Clapton layered several rhythm lines on top of each other - and FOUR lead lines - but it's all him. It's super dense (almost too much so), but if you can grab hold of one line and listen through, you can hear them all with several listens.
Duain Allman and Eric Clapton. Bobby! 65 to 74. Everyone mixed Soul Blues Rock Country Jass Rhythm Jass together. This whole Album is Fantastic 🌄🪴🐴
Clapton with some of his best!
Bobby Whitlock adds vocals and EC plays all the leads at the end.
He added 3 or 4 without listening to what he did before. Never heard him do it since.
Duane Allman!! Imagine if he lived?
Duane didn't play on "Keep on Growing", "Bell Bottom Blues" and "I Looked Away"
These guys were working hard at their time in life
You guys are great! Clapton covered a Bob Marley song, "I shot the sheriff". It was a hit for him in the mid 1970's and still in his live set list today. Here is a great version ua-cam.com/video/90TRYJjZ0UY/v-deo.html
Bob Marley's version still the best. No contest.
I completely agree with your take on this "version". I purchased this album when it came out and this version sounds "cluttered". I don't know if someone screwed up in the "remastering" process or what. It almost sounds like the instruments were competing or clashing with other instruments. Very strange indeed. Take care.
.....there are many great songs on this album, but in my opinion "Key to the Highway" was, is, and always will be the #1 song on it.....
According to Bobby Whitlock, keyboardist and vocalist on D & D, Eric played all the guitar parts in this song. Eric played lead and rhythm then they overlayed them in the studio. Sounds like multiple guitars because, in essence, it is.
Barry Oakley, of the Allman Brothers was a part of this album, not sure if on every track. I'm sure someone can help me out..lol..but this began Clapton's 70's run, and it was epic!
Yes sir dwayne Allman is on slide Guitar and eric is playing straight lead what a combo
Duane didn't play on "Keep on Growing", "Bell Bottom Blues" and "I Looked Away"
And this was the replication of the late Jim Gordon on drums: ua-cam.com/video/EbPLnHVesao/v-deo.html
Allman connection coming out strong, mixing with the Surrey Delta(SW London in other words) passing over the Carrib.
DUANE ALLMAN!!! ERIC CLAPTON!!!GUITAR!!!!!!SUPREME
At the end the train just kept rolling past 3 stations, before ran outta steam!
Yeah, there are two vocalists, Eric Clapton and Bobby Whitworth. Whitworth typically did the high harmony vocal. Whitworth played the Hammond B3 organ and co-wrote many of the songs with Clapton. He started out at Stax Records in Memphis, and describes the vocals as "Doing a Sam and Dave style vocal, a call and response. Eric would sing a line, I would sing a line, then we'd both sing the next one." Whitworth learned to play the organ by watching over Booker T. Jone's shoulder and was taught by him.
Whitlock. Bobby Whitlock. I’ve used that name Whitlock as a password since to me it sounds so cool!
@@billwilson7948 Thanks for the correction.
Motherless Children from Clapton is a must listen ✌️
Duane 🎸🍑🙏
I Shot the Sheriff was just Clapton - this is the album with Clapton and Duane Allman. There is alot of controversy as to whether Duane is playing on this song because his name is written & crossed off the recording track sheet - the piano player/singer Bobby Whitlock has said that it is all Claption playing & overdubbing on guitar on 4 different channels so his leads are playing along with and on top of each other.
Just did my own research on this and I found what you stated. Whitlock claims all the guitar tracks are Clapton. He would know.
The love triangle behind the record is famous. I think Key to the Highway captures the dueling of Duane and Eric very well .
Duane doesn't play on this, or the other 2 first tracks. These were already in the can by the time he came on board. But man...didn't he lose himself on all the other ones?!
Carl Radle bass from Delaney and Bonnie
Yep. You're right about the muddy mix, but I think the original version is that way as well.
Clapton plays straight lead and rhythm guitar. Duane Allman played mostly slide guitar. That's how you can tell who's playing what. Also, remastering and remixing are 2 different things. Remastering alone won't necessarily clean up any muddiness. Remixing is the way to separate instruments better. A lot of music fans don't like that because they see it as revising history and losing the original intent of the artist.
Good point. Which is why many of us never sold our original vinyl. Even the first mastering of vinyl to CD changed sonics in many cases. I do like the Steven Wilson remixes of great prog classics.
@@mikemicrael5749 Many/most of the original cds were rush-to-market flat transfers, so no mastering at all. But yes, Wilson was respectful to the King Crimson tapes.
Yeahh! Eric and Duane!! That's what makes Derek and the Dominos so special.
That is Daune Allman playing some of those leads.
Duane doesn’t play on this track.
Highly recommend Carl Hall You don’t know nothing about love. 1967 release.
Probably best clapton album...
Love this song, but it is only one of 3 tracks that Duane Allman did not play on. You need to do the whole album because the chemistry between Eric and Duane was almost instantaneous the first time they started to jam together. Clapton's best album and one of the greatest albums of all time.
Same album the song is "Anyday".
Every song on this album is superb. "Little Wing" is moving..
One of my hand me down albums from Brothers / Sister. To be honest, most of this album gave me a terrific headache but I was like 10 years old and what did I know about musicians etc. Now I like Key To The Highway and Down and Out...never did and still don't like Layla that much and I think that maybe others do may have to do with it being about a true story with Clapton and George Harrisons' GF. Did not know Duane Allman was on it. Brothers and Sister also left me Brothers and Sisters album , which to this day is one of my favorite studio albums with Live at The Filmore East @ #1 favorite Live albums.
Slow this song down 10-15% and its GODLY!
Skydog lives
Clapton and Bobby would swap verses
You love the bass? That's Carl Radle.
This is a banger, Clapton never played better. That’s ALL him, Duane Allman doesn’t play on this track
Please listen Bell Button Blues next.
This song is wound up tighter tjan a 1969 302 Z39
I like the original version better because that was the one I grew up listening to. Can hear more guitar work on the original. Sometimes remastered is not the best.
Agreed…I find that often. Sometimes the original “imperfections” sound better.
This has nothing to do with Clapton but would love for you to react to Tommy Bolin Post Tostee. He was one he'll of a guitarist who played with the James Gang and Deep Purple. Unfortunately he died at the age of 25. If you like different check this out.
No Duane on this track, all Clapton. EC laid down several solos on top of one another. Duane was not the first 3 tracks of the album. The album was recorded in the order as it appears.
At the end there are lots of guitar tracks mixed together. Several Erics and several Duanes that's why you don't hear pne clearly.
All Erics, Duane isn't on this one. This was in the can before Duane joined the sessions.
@@UnionAlley Yup, forgot how early it was in the sessions.
Another group that was burning the candle at both ends and could not possibly last. Layla would have been better as two separate albums, you can only listen to so many tortured love songs in a row. To be honest there are at least three or four songs on Layla that are better than "Layla" but for some reason that's the track FM radio played to death in the 1970s and early 80s.
