I own Derek & The Dominos’ debut (and only studio) album, Layla & Other Assorted Love Songs, solely because I wanted a copy of ‘Layla.’ This must have been pre-iTunes, or maybe I found it in a bargain bin. With the exception of ‘Bell Bottom Blues,’ the other 13 tracks are a mystery to me.
So when ‘Tell the Truth’ popped up as today’s Random SOTD selection, it gave me a chance to read up on the album, which Eric Clapton, Bobby Whitlock, Carl Radle, Jim Gordon, Dave Mason and Duane Allman recorded in a drug-fueled haze in Miami Beach in 1970.
