Clapton to top

If in the discography for the less consistent Clapton we should choose qu''un Cd, for me it would be "Layla". Perhaps because Clapton had found in its ephemeral Dominos group guitarist to his measure, capable of pushing him in his latest technical and emotional limits. The king of the slide Duane Allman, the RTT 'Allman Brothers Band here is the alter ego of Clapton, and even the minutest specialists often have difficulty knowing who plays what, as the' osmosis was perfect between the two musicians. Death few weeks after the registration of "Layla" of Duane Allman in a motorcycle accident leave Clapton musically orphan (the absence of Allman is acute on the "Live at Fillmore" of the fall, where 70 Clapton in a dazed voice is lost in extending solos). None of that on "Layla".

Masterful interpretations of blues classics (the huge "Key to the Highway" by Big Bill Broonzy for example), a bunch of original compositions, a return of homage to Hendrix ("Little Wing" here, while the 'Experience respectfully resumed "Sunshine of Your Love" on the CD "Live at Winterland").

And then there was "Layla," the best song of the entire career of Clapton. Layla. Nick Pattie Boyd. Which Clapton is madly in love. Problem, Layla is married to best friend Clapton, George Harrison. This Corneille story of love, will be born a fabulous piece. Memorable riff intro Duane Allman in Clapton solo in which really means (yes, I assure you) cry his guitar, "Layla" tu the sublime. The most desperate are the most beautiful songs Musset said. "Layla" is a pure sob.

On the Day of Judgment, it ''s course, those not n''auront "Layla" on the shelves of their disco go burn in Hell. The others will already have an idea of ​​paradise.
