Derek and the Dominos Layla T Shirt
About the Product
Released in November 1970, the double album is best known for its title track, Layla, and is often regarded as Eric's greatest musical achievement. The other band members were Bobby Whitlock on keyboards and vocals, Jim Gordon on drums, Carl Radle on bass, and special guest performer Duane Allman on lead and slide guitar on 11 of the 14 songs. It is a a record played and conceived under the influence of a lot of drugs and booze. And it does have a hot, louche vibe throughout.
In the United States, Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs peaked at number 16 on the Billboard Top LPs chart. It returned to the US albums chart again in 1972, 1974 and 1977, and has since been certified Platinum by the RIAA. Having failed to chart in Britain originally, it finally debuted on the UK Albums Chart in 2011, peaking at number 68. They actually began to record a follow up album and some tracks that were due to be on that ended up as live versions on the In Concert album, songs such as Roll It Over.
