Great to hear Bobby talk about these songs. I was in high school when Layla album came out and always thought it was an EC and Duane project. Listening to it now I realize that Bobby’s singing and playing is the heart and soul of the music.

Bobby’s singing blew me away the first time I heard the album... 1972 I think. Great voice, great emotion, and like he said in one of these videos, he made everyone in D&D better because if they didn’t keep up he’a run them over!!!

Claptons work on Keep On Growing is most appreciated by guitar players who have worked these parts up. You know he heard it in his head before he played one note. Genius at work.

Thank you Bobby Whitlock for sharing all of these details about the creation of the songs of the Layla album. As a then 16 year old student guitarist, learning about recording technology, songwriting, arranging, a friend brought the Layla album to my parents house for us to listen hear on my little home stereo system...it was early December 1970. I was stunned to see it was recorded at Criteria in North Miami Beach, just 10 minutes from my parents home, near the Thunderbird Hotel, a mile down Collins Ave from the 461 Ocean Blvd. house... Needless to say, the entire Layla album, song after song, just BLEW MY MIND. I'd been a fan of Eric Clapton during his time in Cream, Blind Faith, Delaney & Bonnie, but I had NEVER heard such intense, emotional guitar playing. Not understanding about open tunings yet, I could not understand how those slide guitar lines on many of those songs were played. Reading the liner notes, I was familiar with all of the 4 Dominoes, but, noted the name... Duane Allman, for the first time....That album, EC's unrequited love for his best friend's woman....its lyrical & vocal intensity from EC and Bobby Whitlock, their split of singing a verse each, then a verse together reminded me at times of Sam & Dave. the arrangements, the drum sounds, especially the toms, solid bass, and those guitars ! OMG, the album as a whole , was like an audio movie, it just spun my head around in such a major way, and has influenced my love of southern influenced blues, roots music ever since....now 50 years later !

Thanks for being a crucial part of that, and thanks for sharing all these memories. Be safe and God bless

Bobby, its always been a point of pride for me as a Floridian that you guys recorded at Criteria for such a monumental work of art. I live about an hour north of the studio and made a quick detour when i was down there once just to take a look at the area (i consider it a pilgrimage lol) and just reflected on how many outstanding recordings were done there, how Miami and Florida more broadly must have influenced them, how hot it must have been in August when you guys were there lol. And I remember jai-alai still being popular here when i was a kid in the late 90's, but sadly its all but disappeared now. There were massive frontons (jai-alai courts) all over and it was a big part of our tourism and sporting industries, but the venerable Basque game is now but another memory of Old Florida which we now miss dearly. I saw you had an exhibit at Art Basel on another more recent video and kicked myself that I didn't know about it til after the fact. It would have been an experience of a lifetime to view your art in person and maybe even get to shake your hand and say thank you for everything you've accomplished. I've been binging these videos at work for the past week and can't get enough. Love you guys! God bless.

Bobby you are the greatest. Your writing and voice on the Layla album makes it so rich and soulful. And of course during Eric’s first solo album. Couldn’t imagine Let it Rain or Layla without your soulful voice echoing those choruses. Wouldn’t possibly sound as full without yours and EC’s call and response. Love you, always did.

The many compliments to the both of you is well warranted. I add my thanks and appreciation as well (though a latecomer to the channel). Question: I understand that a hole was cut into the top of a Leslie speaker cabinet and that EC’s Champ was laid face down on the cabinet and recorded that way. Does Bobby have any recollections on if that was done and, if so, why and who’s idea it was? Thanks in advance for your reply.

Great story, like so many of these great videos getting us through the pandemic. Hope you getting throught Texas freeze and power outages. Could Bobby talk about the recording of Have Your Ever Loved a Woman? That may have been the best pure blues guitar work that EC ever recorded. His singing as well was inspired. BW on piano was great, Jim Gordon was great. Duane's slide work was on the song and very much secondary to EC. Please talk about this session.

Bobby Whitlock & CoCo Carmel : Thank You I personally feel that you ( bobby) & Eric will record again ; at least have an attempt at it & see what comes of it . Why ? Cause there’s more reasons to do it than not. 1. You are both still around and that will not always be the case . 2. You both worked together really well and the music was testament to that. 3. There’s been enough time to clean the slate and it has an air of freshness & maturity to it all. 4. You both would know there’s plenty of people who would love it to happen. I hope & wish that it does happen cause I believe there’s more from that combined well that produced the great songs on Layla. Cheers & Take care 💕brun

I took great enjoyment in turning people on to the album and sit back and watch as they had their mind blown by the sheer power of this band. In fact I remember that I had to special order the album, and got a call one day that my album was in and I had till the end of day to pick it up or loose it. So I made a few moves to get the money and walked down to the record store to pick it up. The store owner told me that he got a lot of orders for record’s and this one was a pleasure to order. It was really a big deal. A lot of people became aware of the album but I owned it. Love it to this day...

Hi CoCo and Bobby, hope you are both keeping safe and well.... I was listening to Keep on Growing on KZbin earlier today, and reading some of the people's comments about the "Whoa" at the beginning of the song (just as the grove starts)... I always thought it was Eric who sang the Whoa....but according to one of the comments, it was you who sang the Whoa! Can you remember?? Apparently, the Whoa was left off the Original release and only included on the 20th anniversary, which is where I first heard the full album. It would be great if you can remember... have a listen, hope you know what I mean by the Whoa! Keep safe and well, and keep on growing!! Love to you both.
