About this deal

But let us draw a veil over that sorry time and move forward to February 2011, when a friend of mine recommended "Layla And Other Assorted Love Songs". He wrote in conclusion that, "even though this one has the look of a greedy, lazy, slapdash studio session, I think it may be Eric Clapton's most consistent recording .

It is best known for its title track, " Layla", which is often regarded as Eric Clapton's greatest musical achievement. cannot be beaten; as other reviewers have suggested, it appears that unrequited love gave Clapton an extra boost that he could only express in his writing and his guitar on this album. Eric Clapton and Duane Allman in a non-competative guitar battle that gets truly emotional throughout.I didn't bother listening to it first - my friend's recommendations, up to that point, had always been spot on - and anyway, it had "Layla" on it.

Clapton wrote later in his autobiography that he and Allman were inseparable during the sessions in Florida; he talked about Allman as the "musical brother I'd never had but wished I did". In a more favourable review for Rolling Stone, Ed Leimbacher noted the album's " filler" material but added that "what remains is what you hoped for from the conjunction of Eric's developing style, the Delaney and Bonnie styled rhythm section, and the strengths of 'Skydog' Allman's session abilities. In a rave review for The Village Voice, Robert Christgau applauded the contrast of "the high-keyed precision of [Clapton's] guitar" with "the relaxed rocking of Allman/Whitlock/Radle/Gordon". an unexpectedly fine version of Jimi Hendrix’s ostensibly unimprovable Little Wing and Thorn Tree in the Garden, even if ending the album with the latter fragile Bobby Whitlock composition is overegging the pudding following the mellow piano outro of the title-track. Tedeschi Trucks Band covered the album in its entirety on 24 August 2019 at Lockn' with Trey Anastasio of Phish and Doyle Bramhall II sitting in.Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs is the only studio album by the English–American rock band Derek and the Dominos, released on 9 November 1970 as a double album by Polydor Records and Atco Records. The album's five covers included the blues standards " Nobody Knows You When You're Down and Out" ( Jimmy Cox), " Key to the Highway" (Charles Segar, Willie Broonzy), and " Have You Ever Loved a Woman" ( Billy Myles), a version of Jimi Hendrix's " Little Wing", and an up-tempo take on Chuck Willis's doo-wop ballad " It's Too Late". The LP was re-released on 180g vinyl by Simply Vinyl in the 1990s and re-mastered and re-released on 180g vinyl by Universal Music in 2008.
