Layla is an awesome song. I find the artwork quite intruiging. My favourite album with slowhand.

This album is incredible. Duane Allman and Eric Clapton on the same record, that already is a recipe for success. But it's also one of the most emotional and sincere albums. You won't hear many albums as passionate as this one. Get the whole album not just the title track.

Eric Clapton's best album. The only one he created where he wrote a solid set of songs and showed off his guitar playing too. I'm sure Duane Allman's presence helped too. Every time I listen I find something else I like that I didn't hear before.

He had both better songs and guitar work in Cream - that conclusion could be drawn from "Tales of Brave Ulysses" alone. The rest of the catalogue of Cream sure doesn't hurt the fact either.
