Hendrix's "Little Wing" - surges of Bolero-like chording, a strangled and mournful vocal. (It's just unfortunate they tried it again a side late as "Have You Ever Loved a Woman.") "Anyday" - the full-tilt crashing intro, Duane slippin' and a-slidin', the chorus shouting "Anyday, anyday, I could see you smile," the sparks of energy spit throughout a cut even greater than the sum of its parts.īroonzy's "Key to the Highway," the celebrated walking blues for nine straight and solid minutes - some early echo-chamber effects but, most amazing, the incredibly complex machinations of Eric and Duane: pushing and prodding, picking and cutting, trading insults and inspirations. "Keep On Growing" - Jim's drum-fire, while Eric and Bobby drive each other, trading the vocal back and forth. "I Looked Away" - relentless rhythmic cooking and guitars spread up and down the scale should be a single.
And Clapton's singing is always at least adequate, and sometimes quite good. Among the weak cuts: "Nobody Knows You When You're Down And Out," "Tell The Truth," "Bell-Bottom Blues," "Have You Ever Loved A Woman," and "Thorn Tree In the Garden." Happily, 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. and the MG's no longer have a corner on the Memphis-tight rhythm market.Ī double album means you can expect some filler. Behind them, Bobby Whitlock, Jim Gordon, and Carl Radle demonstrate again and again that Booker T. As for whose guitar is playing what, Duane Allman provides most of the bottlenecking (but not all, I'll wager), while Eric Clapton continues in his recent vein of sharp, stinging, high-pitched, harmonic-overtones picking. Layla sustains itself pretty well thoughout, but we've heard a lot of it before. Derek and the Dominos - Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs
