Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs

The Derek and the Dominos album “Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs” was released 50 years ago today. The source of Clapton’s pain was his love for Pattie Boyd. She was then married to George Harrison but later married Clapton. The rest of the band besides Clapton had been part of Delaney and Bonnie and Friends. Duane Allman played slide guitar on most of the album. This is one of the few albums from that era that I like much better now than I did then.

It was 50 years ago today..- 9 Nov 1970 saw the release of the Layla & Other Assorted Love Songs LP from Eric and the wonderful group of musician friends he assembled as Derek & The Dominoes. I still love the record today.
My favourite track is probably 'Bell Bottom Blues'. 1/2

I asked Eric to bring me back some jeans from Miami where the LP was recorded and I think that he wrote the song in homage to my request!
And then we have the small issue of the title track..
Here's a pic of the painting which made the LP's sleeve which I took this morning. 2/2 pic.twitter.com/8yItOjeRFi
