Well I knew the clue would be another BH piss take. The album was recorded in America with American musicians (Clapton aside) and producer. I'll concede the Blues Rock bit and I did think it might be a Clapton album.
Anyhow at least it is a proper classic album with a title track that is a quite simply as good as it gets and vies with a small batch of songs to be my all-time favourite. The interplay between EC and the late great Duane Allman is marvelous. I've had a vinyl single version of Layla since the 70's. I only bought the album much later - on cd - so will dig it out for another listen before commenting on the other assorted love songs.
