After his adventure as part of Cream and Blind Faith, Eric Clapton still wasn’t ready to start a solo career and therefore brought along a group of talented friends and formed the band Derek (a deformation of Eric of course) and the Dominos. Among the Dominos was the slide genius Duane Allman, whose fluid and warm playing complemented Clapton’s sound perfectly. The only album they did together in 1970, Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs, is still of Clapton’s finest works.
