Thank you, we never played it live, I think you're great. I'm flattered. BW

[@franbanish]

Hi Bobby and CoCo! Thanks so much for the visit and the very kind words. I'M flattered! Peace and Love, Keep On Keeping On! FB

[@grc0456]

Really well done cover of my favorite song on one of my (also) deserted island albums, and high praise from BW, too!

[@johnlutwyche8263]

Hey BW, We are thankful for your TV appearance on The Johnny Cash Show. Pure magic! JL

[@sonofabeachent]

Love that song. Most run to Bell bottom blues but this song, sad lyrics but makes me happy.

[@stu2596]

Beautiful song from a truly amazing album. Used to play this and Bell Bottom Blues quietly in our nursery when my daughter was an infant. Not only did she grow up with a love of music, she grew up with a free spirit and soul. It’s one of those little moments you don’t forget

[@rwood711]

Great job. Bobby was definitely under appreciated.

[@craigmeier8376]

Wow! Bobby Whitlock just commented here and I get to follow. Wow! Long life and good health to you Mr Whitlock. With that want to say as faithful a cover as I have ever heard. Thank you.

Well done, Eric and Bobby would approve.

[@davewilkinson5705]

Excellent work! Such a great song , deceptively simple but look under the hood, a lot going on!

[@markukeley2924]

Definitely deserve Bobby Whitlock's seal of approval! "Layla" is awesome, but this is surely my favorite song after 50 years.

Excellent job young man excellent very good sounded great

[@sheplaysajag]

Sounding great, Fran! Feel free to go ahead and do Bell Bottom Blues too anyway!

[@mirraco323]

One of the most underrated tracks off what is an underrated album. And yeah, you read that right. The hits off the Layla record are great, but there is literally not one track off that record that is bad, and the record does not get enough praise. The entire thing front to back is great. Duane Allman’s playing is truly the cherry on top (even though he didn’t play on the first three tracks).

[@franbanish]

mirraco323, Thanks for the words and the visit! Certainly the Layla album is in the upper half of my top 10 desert island discs. I think it was about my 3rd or 4th Clapton vinyl I bought when I was first getting into EC. I think I was 11 or 12 years old around '75 or '76. I distinctly remember, I recorded it to a cassette (a TDK SA 90) and listened to it almost non-stop, on repeat, when I rode with my Dad, driving from Chicago to Fort Lauderdale, FL and back, spring break '76. My Dad listened to CB radio or news radio. I listened to Layla on a mono earbud over and over! Then later I worked on figuring out the guitar work ; )

Great version of this wonderful song.

[@mikegoldberg553]

Great job . I enjoyed this. I just Love Clapton's guitar playing, and you seem to have nailed it Very Well done. E.C. my Hero on guitar as well, for many, many years, Loved Derick and the Dominos my favorite Clapton guitar sound old = 50's Strat into a showman sound very clean and clear, or a 50's Fender champ on what about 3 1/2 or 4. Very clean . Again Great Job, Glad Bobby Whitlock got to hear this and then let you know if they ever did it live or not. and they never did do the song Live...and even better yet bobby Whitlock liked it and complimented you on it....He loved it too... VERY Cool Indeed.. M.G. in Phoenix, Az..

That was a perfect rendition. I always loved this song but always felt the album was mixed poorly and the vocals needed cleaning up. Love how you mixed both guitar parts and the bass was also awesome. I am going to keep this version. thanks

[@westvalleyjunction]

Wow! So glad I found this. Was just reading Bobby Whitlock's autobiography. He likely played this allot in those little England gigs he and Eric did before recording the Album. They were working with Harrison on All Things Must Pass (the Domino's crew - Duane) and doing little local gigs. This was one of the first song they co wrote together and he states the Album in generally chronological order from the time it was written. Anyway, I'm hoping I get my friends to play this, and this should convince them. So great! AND Thank YOU!!

Thanks Tom! FYI: I've read the Bobby Autobiography too, it's a great adventure!

I've listened to this song literally THOUSANDS of times. There's a point in the original (at 2:41, at 3:22 in your video) where Eric hits a note in the second solo break that has sent a chill down my spine EVERY time I have EVER heard this song. Including your cover. You nailed EVERY bit of the song. The quack of the different Strat parts, the pinched harmonics, the flat no-echo drums, the organ in the background. VERY impressive.
