Evidence that some good can come from some bad.

Drug years.

The solo in "Nobody Knows You..." is simply incredible.

Indeed it is, but am I the only one who feels it's WAY to loud in the mix?

Some of the worst guitar tone ever recorded IMHO. Always puzzles me how they could have been happy with that.

I might be in the minority but, I do not like the guitar tones on this album but the playing is stellar. There is something that has always bothered me about this album. I do not especially like the mix on it.... Duane and Clapton are 2 of my favorites and this album was monumental but I just do not like it that much.....

The guitar tones on the Layla album are rich in variation. Huge range of color.

Most of it sounds like really cheesy solid state distortion to me. Great songs and playing. Horrible tone. Layla itself isn't bad, but something like Key To the Highway sounds like guitar - fuzz - board. Close to unlistenable IMHO.

Wasnt that Clapton's Fender Champ era? I agree that they were great songs and not great tone.It was almost the anti-cream sound.No bollocks as they say over here.When he played those tunes on his recent tour he sounded much better IMO.

There's a cool article about Allman's Goldtop used for these sessions in the November 2008 Vintage Guitar magazine.
