As for comparing this album to what occurred with Cream, I realize some people might and did do this but I would want to remain open minded to a work’s value of its own rather than expect something similar to what came before. There, we can notice albums that he entirely recorded as a guitarist, although he wasn’t the main artist. In this case, he is considered a featured act. These people are the worst kind of losers in the world. Pretense of social conscience and justice and guilty of the most miserable exploitation of their constituency.

Layla And Other Assorted Love Songs’ five cover songs are all obvious choices, and they’re all done with justice. Take Duane Allman’s yearning slide guitar, in perfect support of Clapton’s own guitar and vocals on Nobody Knows You When You’re Down and Out, or the spontaneous feel of Key To The Highway. Another blues groove, It’s Too Late, proclaimed yet more heartbreak: “Wish I had told her she was my only one/But it’s too late, she’s gone.” Idlewood South is a big step forward from the Allmans’ first — that combination of Santana and Led Zeppelin, with the Led finally weighing everything down — but its second side disappoints. Layla, on the other hand, sustains itself pretty well throughout, but we’ve heard a lot of it before.

When Clapton was asked about the acoustic version of the song by the MTV Network, he replied: "'Layla' sort of mystified me. I have done it the same all these years and never ever considered trying to revamp it. And a lot of artists do that, you know? Bob Dylan for instance changes everything everytime he plays it and I thought this was another great opportunity to just take it off on a different path, to put it to a shuffle and for a start, making it acoustic denied all the riffs, really. They would have sounded a bit weak, I think, on the acoustic guitar, so it just seemed to become Jazzier somehow. And of course, I'm singing it a whole octave down. So it gives it a nice kind of atmosphere." [64]
