Derek And The Dominos - Devil Road (1971)

I'd heard that Eric Clapton and the band had gone into the studio to record a follow-up to the classic 'Layla And Other Assorted Love Songs', and so I set about trying to find anything that they'd laid down. I already have some unreleased tracks from the band, including some lengthy jam sessions, rather like Blind Faith did around the same time, but after a bit of hunting I found some tracks that I hadn't seen before, and some of them are outstanding - especially the 13 minute 'Devil Road' itself, featuring Renee Armand on vocals. I've added in Bobby Whitlock's 'Scenery Has Slowly Changed' to make a nice 44 minute album, which certainly lives up to the promise of that classic debut.

    I just posted about the Dylan Greatest Hits II. But I wanted to mention that on my new website Albums That Should Exist, I also posted my version of a second Derek and the Dominos album. Like you, I called it Devil Road. But, funnily enough, while you made the Dylan album a double ablum and I made it a single, I made the Dominos album a double while you made it a single. ;)

    Here's a link to that particular post:

    Her name was Rene Armand and she did one very good overlooked LP for A&M in the early 70s. Wish I still had it.
