	Eric Clapton - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The two-part "Layla" was recorded in separate sessions; the opening guitar section was recorded first, and for the second section, laid down several months later, drummer Jim Gordon composed and played the elegiac piano part.
		The Layla LP was actually recorded by a five-piece version of the group, thanks to the unforeseen inclusion of guitarist Duane Allman of The Allman Brothers Band.
		Both of these songs have immedately recognizable guitar riffs, although the portion of "Layla" used is the piano coda, and not the riff for which the song is known.

		Layla & Other Assorted Love Songs had been a vexation since the dawn of the CD era, its first issue marred by harsh textures and lots of noise, a result of the multiple overdubs on the original album.
		Then Polygram issued the Eric Clapton box Crossroads in 1988, which included a new remastering of "Layla" and the handful of other songs from the album; in the course of preparing that set, the producers stumbled upon the long-missing multi-tracks from the Layla album sessions.
		That was what they did on this box, rebuilding each song from its original multi-track session recordings on disc one, assembling various unused alternate masters of six of the songs on disc two, and filling up disc three with 76 minutes of studio jamming by the band, divided into four extended tracks.

		Derek and the Dominos: The Layla Sessions (Polydor) is a 20th-anniversary celebration of the '70s done up for the '90s.
		The three-disc set includes a remixed, single-disc version of the original double album, Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs; a disc of outtakes and alternate masters, and a third disc of the lengthy jam sessions that served as a sketch pad for the ensemble playing that distinguished the final recording.
		Tom Dowd, who was the executive producer of the Layla sessions and who ranks it as a high point in a most extraordinary recording career, puts the heft of the collection in perspective.

		During the sessions, Clapton was devastated by news of the death of Jimi Hendrix; the band cut a blistering version of Little Wing as a tribute to him which was added to the album.
		Despite Clapton's later admission that the tour took place amidst a veritable blizzard of (A substance that is used as a medicine or narcotic) drugs including (A liquor or brew containing alcohol as the active agent) alcohol, it resulted in the surprisingly strong live double album In Concert.

		The Layla album was successful in the U.S., where "Bell Bottom Blues" and the title song charted as singles in abbreviated versions, but it did not chart in the U.K. The Dominos reconvened to record a second album in May 1971, but split up without completing it.
		In his absence, and in the wake of Allman's death in a motorcycle accident on October 29, 1971, the Dominos and Layla gained in stature.
		The Layla Sessions was a 1990 box set expanding that album across three CDs/cassettes.

	Eric Clapton
		The friendship between the two, which had resulted in Clapton playing on "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" from The Beatles' White Album (a tactic by Harrison to make the other band members take his song seriously) was later sorely tested when Harrison's wife, Pattie Boyd-Harrison, left him for Clapton.
		His relationship with Pattie was his inspiration for the classic song, "Layla".
		Taking the sidemen from his solo record and forming "Derek and the Dominos", he recorded Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs, along with an unplanned late addition of slide guitar virtuoso Duane Allman.

		And "Layla" itself was over seven minutes in length, therefore not gaining much radio exposure.
		Pain drips from the groove of this seminal record that has something for everyone -- hard-driving rockers, stormy blues, wailing solos, including "Layla" as it was meant to be sung, with the most stunning opening riff written by Eric for his secret love Patti Boyd, then married to his best pal George Harrison.
		They had not met prior to the sessions, but their interplay in "Key to The Highway" and "Have You Ever Loved a Woman" is both harmonious and fiercely competitive -- electric, brotherly love.

		The drawback is that the music is the message, everything Clapton boasts he ("still") has "left to say" on "Ain't Going Down," his only notable new song.
		Layla and 461 Ocean Boulevard were clearly flukes: he has no record-making knack.
		Sloughing off the myth of the album as artistic unit and denying proven spendthrifts a face-saving shred of consumerly discrimination, CD boxes are invariably about marketing rather than music.

		Twenty years later, Layla has been refurbished – remixed and finally coaxed onto a single CD – for reissue as a commemorative box set, with two additional CDs of previously unreleased recordings from the sessions.
		The specific song outtakes from Layla are more intriguing but still offer only a teasing glimpse behind the scenes.
		There are songs that wouldn't be missed, and Clapton's dinky guitar tone (accentuated by the remix) is less exciting than the sustained enormousness of his Cream-era sound, but those are small quarrels with a large achievement.

		Dowd was responsible, among other things, for recording the legendary Atlantic-era Ray Charles, for perfecting the use of eight-track recording, for introducing Eric Clapton to Duane Allman just prior to the "Layla" sessions and, just incidentally, for contributing to the physics research that made the atomic bomb possible.
		A stellar array of artists -- again, Ray Charles and Eric Clapton figure prominently -- remember their astonishment in discovering that mixing could be done afterwards, and that if one part wasn't up to par, it could be re-recorded without throwing out the others.
		For me, the heart of the whole documentary concerns the recording of "Layla", the epic title single from the 1970 Derek and the Dominos album.

	Anyone listening to Layla?
		When listening to Layla I hear guitars that I never heard before, and the piano sound incredible, I can hear the strings and the wood of the piano.
		The stereo mix (on SACD and CD) is from the original 1970 master tape, which has always sucked beyond belief (unless you like muddled instrumentation, lots of tape noise, and bass placed hard-left, which I doubt you do).
		The 1990 stereo remix (released with the "Layla Sessions" box) was far superior, and damned if I can figure why they didn't use it again here or (what the hell) remix it again for stereo.

		However, the overdub, in this case, could simply mean the engineers fiddled with parts that were previously recorded.) September 10: Thorn Tree in the Garden Some of the tracks were overdubbed on the same day, but there's no point in mentioning that because we're looking at days/dates.
		However, varying sources, including Roberty in different books, indicate that "Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs" was either released in November or December 1970.

		Clapton's love for Pattie — who had turned him down at first — was his inspiration for the classic song and LP, "Layla".
		Taking over Delaney and Bonnie's rhythm section — Bobby Whitlock (keyboards, vocals), Carl Radle (bass) and Jim Gordon (drums) — he formed a new band which was similarly intended to counteract the 'star' cult that had grown up around him and show Clapton as an equal member of a fully-fledged group.
		This was made evident in the choice of name — "Derek and the Dominos" — which derived from an announcer's mispronunciation of the group's provisional name -- Eric and The Dynamos -- at their first concert appearance.

		During the Layla sessions, 14 basic songs were recorded and mixed and Allman contributed to nearly all of them.
		Allman’s greatest influence on the Layla sessions was on the song “Layla”.
		Allman’s dramatic riff opened “Layla “ and lead the way for the band to rip through the song with a sense of life-or -death urgency.

		During one of his periodic visits back home to Florida, he joined a group of local musicians which became the Allman Brothers Band with the addition of Gregg Allman, Duane's younger brother.
		In the summer of 1971, the Allman Brothers began work on their fourth album, Eat A Peach, but tired from constant touring, they took a break mid-way though the sessions.

		The recently released two-disc Eric Clapton retrospective "Blues" bundles 25 familiar and previously unreleased tracks the great guitarist cut over a 10-year period beginning with his classic 1970 "Layla" sessions.
		After all, he was on heroin when he concocted Layla, and though he kicked that habit in the early '70s, he continued to test his tolerance for alcohol throughout the decade.
		When you think of the Clapton of the '60s, you think of the fire and ice of his playing with the Yardbirds, John Mayall, and Cream.
