Free Music Review: Gorgeous!
Hit: 5 Stars
I've never been a big fan of Eric Clapton. His work with Cream, while enjoyable, was never as mind blowing to me, as it seems to be to many other listeners. And that is what makes my love of this album all the more stunning. A mix of originals and revitalized blues classics, this album is very strong, from front to back. "I Looked Away" and "Bell Bottom Blues" are both great openers, while covers of "Key to the Highway" and "Little Wing" are both familiar, while still very innovative in their treatment. The only flaw to be found is that the band was short lived, and no follow-up to this masterpiece was ever created.
Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs Poster
Layla stands as one of a handful of pillars of classic rock. The short-lived ensemble that was the Dominos provided an outlet for Eric Clapton to vent his then unrequited (and secret) passion for the wife of his best friend, George Harrison. Romantic anguish inspired Clapton to write and collect an embroiling and interconnected song cycle. Meanwhile, latecomer Duane Allman prodded Clapton to tear it up on guitar, so as not to be overwhelmed by his even more talented foil. Of course, Clapton eventually won the hand of his lady love. And then he divorced her. Sometimes real life messes up a good plot line. --Steve StolderPop Music CDs
