(74,684 posts)But, I'm an outlier who thinks Duane's contributions to that song are largely overrated.
His impact is far greater on other songs on that album.
Songs like "Keep On Growing", "Why Does Love Have To Be So Bad", "Anyday", Key To The Highway", & " Little Wing" have way more of his influence showing. Particularly due to his rhythm work since his style is so different than Clapton's, and he was so good at counter rhythm.
The slide stuff on Layla is nice as sweetening, but I recommend against seeking out the isolated track. I think you'll be disappointed. It's off key a lot, which is why Tom Dowd lowered its profile in the mix, especially in the piano coda.
I'm a big fan of Duane's but I never thought what he did on that song was that stellar.
Other songs....hoo boy!!!
