What Are You Listening To?

[Music Head]

from my library (cd)



Was never as thrilled with this album as most were. Yes it's Clapton and Allman so brilliant guitar work is a given.
Most songs are just average for me. Lengthy guitar jams expected I guess. I'm one of the few who think Claptons best
work was with Cream. Stop throwing stuff at me. I do love Bell Bottom Blues and Layla, the two singles so maybe
airplay did that. A couple of bombs to offset those gems. Some standard blues fare thrown in. Bobby Whitlock's
vocals do nothing for me. A 70+ minute album gets rather tedious. Maybe I should have split it up. It is a decent
album for me, just highly over rated, showing up on numerous best of all time lists, plus a five star rating from
allmusic. It peaked at #16 on the chart here with Layla at #10 and Bell Bottom Blues at #78. It's a good album just
not worthy of all the praise. Clapton is not God.

I LIKE THIS ALBUM

Worst Track - I Am Yours

Best Track - Layla

What'll you do when you get lonely
And nobody's waiting by your side?
You've been running and hiding much too long.
You know it's just your foolish pride.

Layla, you've got me on my knees.
Layla, I'm begging, darling please.
Layla, darling won't you ease my worried mind.

I tried to give you consolation
When your old man had let you down.
Like a fool, I fell in love with you,
Turned my whole world upside down.

Layla, you've got me on my knees.
Layla, I'm begging, darling please.
Layla, darling won't you ease my worried mind

Let's make the best of the situation
Before I finally go insane.
Please don't say we'll never find a way
And tell me all my love's in vain.

Layla, you've got me on my knees.
Layla, I'm begging, darling please.
Layla, darling won't you ease my worried mind

Layla, you've got me on my knees.
Layla, I'm begging, darling please.
Layla, darling won't you ease my worried mind
