Eric Clapton – Layla (Unplugged)
August 9, 2016
This has been on all my playlists this week! I re-discovered it over the weekend and can’t stop listening!
Recorded after a period of personal tragedy, Clapton’s Unplugged album ended up being one of the most successful of his career.
This stripped-down, rearranged version of Layla is one of the LP’s highlights, though it’s ironic to recall that it was this laidback performance that beat Nirvana’s Smells Like Teen Spirit to the Best Rock Song Grammy in 1992.
Take a listen for yourself and enjoy..
