I'd completely forgotten just how good this song is! A blues influence but solid country!

[@coodermo5263]

Country, or would you say honky tonk blues?

[@CadillacL]

@@coodermo5263 good thought.

[@darrinkelly3446]

The song leans country but Clapton's guitar is more blues. He plays filler in what would be empty space otherwise.

[@quintenmantez6934]

Yeah! I agree! ✌

[@TheKitchenerLeslie]

This has a Jerry Reed, swamp-funk feel to it. Someone should suggest they listen to When You're Hot, You're Hot, Amos Moses or She Got The Goldmine, I Got The Shaft.

[@Stevie8654]

The sound is more like the Tulsa Sound, which influenced Clapton. A shuffle played over a straight 4/4 drum beat was the bread and butter for the Tulsa guys.

[@B.R.0101]

It's sounds more like a J.J. Cale's vibe song to me.

[@robertwojciechowski1583]

Those are great suggestions

[@maxbrazil3712]

Jerry was a BOSS!

[@chocolatethunder1941]

HERE COMES AMOS!!!! 👍

[@John_Chu]

This was the period in the '70s when he was trying to kick his various addictions and was fascinated with country music and acoustic blues. His favorite influences at the time were Don Williams (you should listen to his stuff, very mellow country vibe) and JJ Cale, a laid-back blues artist who also heavily influenced Lynyrd Skynyrd.

[@michaelwaller7365]

JJ Cale was the composer of "Cocaine", "After Midnight", & "Call Me The Breeze".

[@ninjavigilante5311]

He was also influenced alot by johnny cash, that's why he did his variety show with the Dominos

[@ramonlong1079]

and he was learning the blues.

[@ninjavigilante5311]

@@ramonlong1079 1 of claptons favorites are sonny Terry brownie mcgee, great blues players with only a harmonica and guitar.

[@TonyAngeloX]

The backup singers bring a real sweetness to Clapton’s sound. I think the story was that his management didn’t have a lot of confidence of him as a singer, and pushed him to add them prominently to his 70’s records.

[@centuryrox]

And one of those backup singers is Yvonne Elliman, who had a hit song of her own called "If I Can't Have You", from the movie Saturday Night Fever.

[@gandalf679]

From the same 'Slowhand' album, Clapton's duet with Detroit's Marcy Levy 'The Core' would be amazing even without one of the best rock guitar solos plunked down 8n the middle!

Yvonne was in Jesus Christ superstar as well movie and play

[@punkydoodle4774]

@@donnalombardo1135, I love her song from that one, I Don't Know How to Love Him.

[@thefoss5387]

A similar sound, but, more bittersweet lyrics, is his song Promises. This particular shuffle rhythm is made to sound like an old train, chugging along.

[@TheOCMarc]

I just looked up Promises and I had completely forgotten about that song. Thanks so much.

[@jamesbyersmusic]

How could we know that promises end?

[@zoots15]

Bell Bottom Blues is my personal favorite of his.

[@barscotch]

Let It Rain is amaaaaaazzzziinnnggg, especially if you're a guitar freak. That closing solo is L I F E

[@jccook5353]

3 Of 4 off the same album. Self titled Eric Clapton. Great great album.

[@mookie7688]

That sound is the Tulsa sound. It's a little bit southern, a little bit blues, a little bit country, and pure, sweet rock n'roll.

[@completecharleston7142]

COUNTRY! with a little blues and a little rock in it - at the time, many people thought Clapton had lost his touch (compared to songs while in "Cream" and "Blind Faith") I like it more now, than I did back in the day.

[@klasseact6663]

His 80's stuff is actually really good! If you can find it, his cover of his own 1970 hit "After Midnight" released in 1988 is AWESOME!

Don't remember the exact year, late 80s or super early 90s, but the Journeyman album is fantastic.

After Midnight is actually a JJ Cale song.

Its got a bluesy New Orleans shuffle sound. A sweet, upbeat vibe.

[@Hobodeluxe960]

lots of good memories with this album. my wife's dad had it in the basement den where the stereo was. when I'd come over we'd go down and "listen to music" in the den and this was one of my favs that he had. Wonderful Tonight is on this Slowhand album and a great love song.

[@77tml]

Love a little Lay down Sally. If Clapton is in it you know the guitar is going to be good.

[@AB-C1]

It's like a Bluegrass Country, Blues Cross over type of song with the finger picking type of guitar style almost Banjo like.. Remember listening to this on his album as a kid on Cassette tape! Lol 😅👍😎🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

[@guitarman8462]

There was a time in his career he got into country. He also has " Swing Low Sweet Chariot ". Another great tune from Clapton . In my opinion , all through the 70's was his best years. The live version of " Lay Down Sally " from live in the 70's are great. You should listen to his song " The Core " live version. 👌👌👌👌🎸

[@ron57strat]

This sound is called "The Tulsa Sound". Most of the the band members were from Tulsa Oklahoma. Clapton lived here in Tulsa for a short while, loving the style of music. That sound includes Leon Russell, JJ Cales, the Hansons, David Gates, and many others. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tulsa_sound?wprov=sfla1

[@sarahzimmerman2953]

Attended his concert in Dallas about 25 years ago. No opening act and he played for 4 hours. Amazing

[@RhettAnderson]

Country blues. Clapton wrote this with the backing singer (Marcy Levy) and George Terry (who also played with Abba and the BeeGees).

[@rickmancr]

Marcy Levy, later of Shakespears Sister (as Marcella Detroit) with Siobhan Fahey, formerly of Bananarama, who was once married to Dave Stewart, who was half of Eurythmics with Annie Lennox. That's all from this evening's episode of "Rock Family Trees".

[@seanbyrd9164]

Background vocals by the great Yvonne Elliman and Marcela Levy. Levy co-wrote the song with Clapton. She later became Marcella Detroit and had a great band called Shakespeare's Sister.

[@dickcnormis1444]

Clapton plays blues, rock and some real good ballads…he has an incredible acoustic R&B song called Change The World, definitely should listen to it.

[@shanenolan8252]

Yes great song i remember it was from the soundtrack of phenomenon with john Travolta.

[@shawnk7832]

This is my favorite by Mr. Eric Clapton, besides his work on the Beatles' While My Guitar Gently Weeps

[@Eric-Thomure]

As I’ve gotten older I’ve learned to appreciate this iteration of Clapton. Growing up, I loved Cream, Derek and the Dominoes, and then fast forward to Journey in 1989 and his unplugged record. The country influence and the 80s stuff needed time and space to grow on me.

[@bertpainter8385]

I was the same way. Loved him in Cream mostly. But after I matured I realized just how great Clapton was at writing and singing. Plus his acoustic playing is so good. Still love his 60's early 70's soloing best because I play too and he was one of my idols.

[@barscotch]

Ooh ooh. As a Clapton fan and guitar player, I can heartily recommend 1970's "Let It Rain", especially since Lex is such a guitar-head. The end solo is righteous.

[@walteryoder5594]

Eric and his band members all played with Leon Russell. Leon, Carl Radle and Jamie Oldaker were all from Tulsa and were part of the Tulsa Sound. I'm pretty sure anyway. I saw a KZbin video on Leon once.

[@jutwilton2805]

Backing singer is marchella levy later known as Marcella detroit ...she also has a writing credit on this song ...she later became one half of the group Shakespeare's sister :)

[@stoneysopranoyukon9398]

You need to check out some JJ Cale who was a strong influence on Clapton around this time. Clapton covered After Midnight and Cocaine. Lynyrd Skynyrd covered Call Me The Breeze. ✌❤🇨🇦

[@Pablopax4]

Personally I think E.C. owes J.J. a ton of money for appropriating his style wholesale and despite that, he's not remotely as funky as J.J.

[@dmCurator]

I can't think of a better Clapton song to demonstrate how special he is. ⭐

[@bazookajoe6133]

Clapton is definitely a vibe. Once you get into one song, you roll out the whole index.

[@maxbrazil3712]

Country rock was huge in the 70's.

[@bucklberryreturns]

Would love Lex's reaction to a few Richard Thompson tracks. She's obviously a lover of a well crafted, slightly off the wall solo, and Richard has that in spades with his unique style.

[@gj8683]

"Turn Out the Lights" would be a good one for that.

[@jccook5353]

52 Vincent live at the songwriters show is a great one.

[@bendyrland7213]

I forgot about this gem. Clapton is so great, he also only plays with guys/gals that just smoke. Great tune.

[@richardcranium5048]

Jack of all trades, master of none, is a shortened deviation of the earlier, original saying. It was shortened in a way that completely perverts it from the original message the expression was meant to deliver not so long ago, in my Granddad's day (a WWII Vet) up through the 50 and early 60s, when the hippies got ahold of it, it continued... Jack of all trades, master of none, always tops a master of one, but a Jack on none

[@robc.8269]

Eric covered a Bob Marley song "I shot the Sheriff", that was a big hit & also helped Marley's career. Clapton for some reason left out the reason why in the song Bob shot the Sheriff, cause he was growing cannabis.

[@trampusstanley1453]

Eric Clapton is The king of the Stratocaster guitar.

[@bianchiveloce1]

You should check out Clapton's Just One Night live recording of the song "Worried Life Blues." I swear he got the devil in his fingers and the blues in his soul. Robert Johnson would sure 'nuff be proud of Clapton.

[@robertkees6048]

This song has JJ Cale's fingerprints all over it, no he didn't write the song, or play on the song, or produce the song. But you can hear that Clapton is channeling his inner JJ for this song, it's undeniable if know JJ's work.

[@bigd718]

If you want to hear Clapton do classic rock with killer female back up, do "The Core" ...Yvonne Elliman of JC SUPERSTAR is the vocalist

[@Rock_Snob]

Nah… that’s Marcy Levy just like on this song.

[@rafterman5072]

Yeah, everyone forgets about that song or doesn’t know it. “The Core” may be his best song, outside of Layla.

[@bigd718]

You are correct, Marcy is right...the song is STILL a classic

This is Clapton showing his JJ Cale influence. Marcy Levy is singing backup. She sang with him during the mid/late 70s.

[@3qqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqq10]

You asked if it was blues. Sounds highly blues influenced which is no surprise. Clapton was likely one out of two or three kids in England back in the 50s collecting blues music and learning ALL of the artists. He was obsessed. Do you guys realize he was knighted? He wrote so many amazing songs but Lay down Sally was good enough to get him knighted alone, just for writing that ONE song. Oh and then Brad remarks it sounds southern. Well lots of English men try to sound southern because of their love of blues and rock. Eric, Elton, Mick.....

[@Justjack_89]

One of the backing singers and also co-writer is Marcella Detroit who had a huge hit in the early 90s with the song “Stay” as part of the band Shakespears Sister along with a former member of Bananarama. It needs to be seen/heard to believe.

I was a junior in high school when this came out. Somebody had this playing on a boom box outside the band hall. I made a comment about “laying down Sally”, one of our gorgeous majorettes.

[@gwalia2112]

This from the era when Clapton was listening to and emulating not just covering a lot of J J Cale, one of the most underrated musicians EVER. Had a huge impact on rock, especially those that mixed country, blues rock together, Clapton, Dire Straits, Neil Young, etc, also those artists themselves influenced many many more artists so the unique influence of J J Cale spread incredibly. He's slipped under the radar and sadly died with not enough remembrance. Very surprised that such a massive part of American music hasn't been pushed much more into the limelight. His influence over here in the UK was huge. J J Cale himself didn't want the fame though so maybe his family have similar outlooks.

[@CadillacL]

Is a country blues, much like Tulsa Time... After Blind Faith Clapton spent time playing with Delaney & Bonnie along side his solo career, they played a lot of country and blues roots type music. Lay Down Sally is the first track on his album Slowhand, it had so many great songs on it, most people know it for his cover of J.J, Cale's Cocaine and Clapton's song Wonderful Tonight - which btw Wonderful Tonight live versions of that are a hundred times better. Speaking of which Clapton always sounded a hundred times better live. Anyway... if Clapton peaks your interest, I'd love to see you both react to him in 'Dirty Mac'.
