Derek the Dominos was a group formed by guitarist/singer Eric Clapton with other former members of Delaney Bonnie Friends, in the spring of 1970. The rest of the lineup was Bobby Whitlock keyboards, vocals , Carl Radle bass , and Jim Gordon drums . The group debuted at the Lyceum Ballroom in London on June 14 and undertook a summer tour of England. From late August to early October, they recorded the celebrated double album Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs November 1970 with guitarist Duane Allman sitting in. They then returned to touring in England and the U.S., playing their final date on December 6. The Layla album was successful in the U.S., where Bell Bottom Blues and the title song charted as singles in abbreviated versions, but it did not chart in the U.K. The Dominos reconvened to record a second album in May 1971, but split up without completing it. Clapton then retired from the music business, nursing a heroin addiction...

The 20th Anniversary release celebrates the Layla Sessions pretty much one month, September 1970 while the 40th Anniversary release celebrates the arc of the band from June 1970 to May 1971. It s a different kind of project. It doesn t focus on Layla the album. The album is the main component but there was history before the record and history after.

Wishing to escape the superstar expectations that sank Blind Faith before it was launched, Eric Clapton retreated with several sidemen from Delaney Bonnie to record the material that would form Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs. From these meager beginnings grew his greatest album. Duane Allman joined the band shortly after recording began, and his spectacular slide guitar pushed Clapton to new heights. Then again, Clapton may have gotten there without him, considering the emotional turmoil he was in during the recording. He was in hopeless, unrequited love with Pattie Boyd, the wife of his best friend, George Harrison, and that pain surges throughout Layla, especially on its epic title track. But what really makes Layla such a powerful record is that Clapton, ignoring the traditions that occasionally painted him into a corner, simply tears through these songs with burning, intense emotion. He makes standards like Have You Ever Loved a Woman and Nobody Knows You When You re Down and Out into his own, while his collaborations with Bobby Whitlock -- including Any Day and Why Does Love Got to Be So Sad? -- teem with passion. And, considering what a personal album Layla is, it s somewhat ironic that the lovely coda Thorn Tree in the Garden is a solo performance by Whitlock, and that the song sums up the entire album as well as Layla itself... AllMusic
