Layla is the famed double blues-rock album that features the guitar pyrotechnics of Eric Clapton and Duane Allman. A shortened version of the title track was a US and UK top ten single. (US:16)
"The apex of Clapton's career. Clapton and Duane Allman form an unbelievable musical bond. The great songs are too numerous to mention. This should be on everyone's desert island disc list."
"This one-off double album is a masterful set of blues-rock which unquestionably was an artistic peak for Eric Clapton. He had the knack of playing in good company all through his career, but he never played in a better band than this, particularly with the guest augmentation slide guitarist extraordinaire Duane Allman. With rich production, intuitive cover versions, strong original material and a band which sounds as if it's been recorded absolutely live, this is one great double album."
"It teams up the greatest guitarist of all time, Eric Clapton, with the greatest slide man of all time, Duane Allman. And it is perfect: the guitar work, the songwriting, the overall background of the album."
"One of the most appreciated and best known albums in the history of rock music. Many people say that this is the ultimate highlight of Eric Clapton's career. This is definitely a superb album from start to finish. If you make an album as long as this the songs really have to stay fresh throughout the listening journey. I must say that this album does just that."
"One of the greatest guitar records of all-time, Layla captures Eric Clapton at a sustained level of brilliance. A double album that contains several truly transcendent tracks, filled with down and out blues-rock songs that showcase Clapton and guest star Duane Allman's soaring guitar work. Clapton’s writing and singing is confident and passionate, Many of the dual guitar flights of are spellbindingly exhausting, hitting climax upon climax before drifting into blissful melancholy."
"This collaboration is one of the most rocking albums ever made. Blues yes, but also love songs and hard rocking guitars and drums. This is one of the essential albums for anyone who loves the hard rock music of the 60s."
