The guitar on this is quite amazing.
Interesting but that guitar is now driving me mad because a part of it it is a specific seventies something and I can't think what it is currently. I will try to update this post with that reference as soon as I do.

I like it...mad like Beck.
Sounds a bit like that:

Maybe that's why the guitar sounded familiar to you, Horsey!

I have worked it out.
Others might disagree but I think it's a part of the line on this one:
Focus - Sylvia

(And funnily enough, the other part of it now sounds to me like "Teen Spirit")
....actually, do you know what, I'm still not sure on a second hearing.
There could be another thing in it too, circa 1977; definitely rock not punk.
I agree on Beck re the lo-fi vocals though.

I thought it sounded a bit like the stylings of Graham Coxon/Johnny Greenwood.
I listened to Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs earlier for the first time and found it rather amazing.

Yeah, Clapton at his most dynamic, with some other great musicians around him.
Talking of the first time, just heard this today:
Oceansize - Women Who Love Men Who Love Drugs

It reminded me a bit of Doves, Ben, so you might like it. Or maybe you already know it? Was new to me, as are the band, who no longer exist.

Yeah, I vaguely remember them from the early 00s. Definitely a shade of Doves in there.

Yes, I see what you mean about Coxon. Arguably, quite a lot of it is reminiscent of mid period Blur including the vocals. I can't comment with any authority on Greenwood. Radiohead lost me after album 2 or 3. My specialist subject would never be Elvis or the Floyd either. I think it must be bloody mindedness on my part. Interesting to note the "Layla" album was released in 1970. The title track was not a hit single until 1972.

Isn't that something of an oxymoron ?
EARLY Rock 'n Roll.........

Don't reckon so. I think he (Clapton) has a bit of a reputation as an old fart, who plays slow, boring, conventional songs - I'm talking here among younger music fans/listeners, rather than peeps like us, Ben, Chappers, Radish, Herc, Gordon, Johnny D, Laz, Tursiops, Shandy, Beaky etc, who know about Cream etc (though some posters I've listed may not be fans?)
Part of that is probably to do with his image, and the fact that he's never tried to look cool, trendy, or edgy.
I'd even agree that there's a slick period in his work where he sounded a bit overproduced and polished, and even, dare I say it, bland. (Fair enough though, given his incredible overall strike rate.)
I think the Derek and the Dominoes album particularly stands out for its rawness and pace.
Some of his other classic stuff is deliberately quite laid back by comparison.

He was a member of the Billy Cotton Fan Club !!
