Naha, Ed (September 1972). "Review: Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs". Circus . Retrieved 19 February 2012. During the recording of the Layla album, Duane Allman joined Clapton's fledgling band as a guest. Clapton and Allman, already mutual fans, were introduced by Tom Dowd at an Allman Brothers concert on 26 August 1970. [16] [17] The two hit it off well and soon became good friends. Dowd said of their guitar-playing chemistry: "There had to be some sort of telepathy going on because I've never seen spontaneous inspiration happen at that rate and level. One of them would play something, and the other reacted instantaneously. Never once did either of them have to say, 'Could you play that again, please?' It was like two hands in a glove. And they got tremendously off on playing with each other." [18] Dowd was already famous for a variety of work and had worked with Clapton in his Cream days (Clapton once called him "the ideal recording man"); his work on the album would be another achievement. For the making of his biographical film Tom Dowd & the Language of Music, he remixed the original master tapes of "Layla", [19] saying, "There are my principles, in one form or another."

“Are you going with him or coming with me?”

Rather than following it up with a commercial release, he used this opportunity to record what he always wanted to, a blues record. Ironically again, the album was about the only Clapton album that failed to chart in the UK. The sublime single UK Layla / Bell Bottom Blues also failed to chart. Layla subsequently won a NME poll in the 70’s as the best single of all time! It made a lofty no 71 in the states. Re-released in the UK in July 1972 it made no 7. Which all goes to show, that even the greatest record in the world can flop without promotion or that in the long run true quality will emerge eventually. Perrin, Jeff; Clapton, Eric (1996).

A bluesman at heart

Eric Ortiz: One of my favourite albums featuring two of my favourite guitar players. Duane really lit a fire in Eric at a time when he was at a all time low, and it shows. A good example is Pink Floyd‘s Roger Waters, who debuted his solo career in 1984 with the release of The Pros And Cons of Hitch Hiking. On it, Clapton has a major input, and even toured with Waters to support the album. Hits of the World". Billboard. Vol.83, no.33. 12 August 1972. p.56. ISSN 0006-2510 . Retrieved 2 January 2016.

Even though the collaboration between Eric Clapton and Delaney & Bonnie was short, it was really important for Eric Clapton. Delaney Bramlett encouraged Eric Clapton to write his own songs and to work on his voice and also his self-confidence.While his demons still struggled him many times in later years, this was the beginning of his solo career as we know it, with his sophisticated style and great harmonies. Due to the circumstances of its composition, "Layla" is defined by two movements, each marked by a riff. The first movement, which was recorded in the key of D minor for choruses and C-sharp minor for verses, [25] is centred around the "signature riff", a guitar piece using hammer-ons, pull-offs and power chords. The first section contains the overdub-heavy slide guitar solo, played by Allman. By placing his slide at points beyond the end of the fretboard, Allman was able to play notes at a higher pitch than could be played with standard technique. Dowd referred to this as "notes that aren't on the instrument."

In his off time, he contributed to albums from plenty more artists, the bit of free time he had was often spend with his good friend George Harrison. That’s when he fell in love with his friend’s wife, Pattie Boyd. At the start of October, he had already recorded 4 more major albums.
