Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs is a double album by the English–American blues rock band Derek and the Dominos. Released in November 1970, it is best known for its title track, "Layla", and is often regarded as Eric Clapton's greatest musical achievement. The other band members were Bobby Whitlock on keyboards and vocals, Jim Gordon on drums, Carl Radle on bass. Duane Allman played lead and slide guitar on 11 of the 14 songs.
Wishing to escape the superstar expectations that sank Blind Faith before it was launched, Eric Clapton retreated with several sidemen from Delaney & Bonnie to record the material that would form Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs. From these meager beginnings grew his greatest album. Duane Allman joined the band shortly after recording began, and his spectacular slide guitar pushed Clapton to new heights. Then again, Clapton may have gotten there without him, considering the emotional turmoil he was in during the recording
CD 1 - The Original Album: I Looked Away - 3:07. Bell Bottom Blues - 5:05. Keep On Growing - 6:23. Nobody Knows You When You're Down And Out - 5:00. Mean Old World - (Layla Session Out-Take) - 3:51. Roll It Over - (Phil Spector Produced Single B-Side) - 4:33. Tell The Truth - (Phil Spector Produced Single A-Side) - 3:25.
Eric Clapton formed Derek and the Dominos in 1970, after all of the band members worked together on George Harrison’s first album after the Beatles split, All Things Must Pass. Layla was one of the tracks on their first and widely acclaimed album, Layla and Other Assorted Songs. The song is about the woman he loves: Beatles guitarist George Harrison’s wife, Pattie Boyd. Indeed, it’s one of the notorious ten songs written by three different singer-songwriters who were smitten with Pattie Boyd. Harrison & Boyd later divorced and she and Clapton were married in 1979. The song’s name is inspired by a 12h century Persian poem about a desperate, unreciprocated.
