No.122. EMAP Metro Ltd. November 1996. p.147. Here, there was a communal inspiration flowing and you can actually feel it, flowing out of the speakers. 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. Now we come to the crux of the matter. Taking the album title in its entirety, this is a collection of love songs sung to one woman. And Clapton’s vocals show it: there is a rawness throughout, evoking emotions through both power and tenderness, marking a definite step up from his vocals on that self-titled album.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. Some people take issue with the inclusion of Little Wing on here, stating that the cover doesn’t do the original Hendrix song a shred of justice. Well, I beg to differ. If you are going to cover a song, make it your own. There is no question that Clapton and the boys took the essence of this song and jammed it into a blues format they felt worked for them. Sure, the iconic riff is not there, but the “flow” we talked about before, is all Clapton in his prime throughout the song. A fitting tribute to Hendrix who had just passed at the time of the recordings. Both of them were steeped in blues, but they still had two totally different approaches to the way they let their guitar speak for them, and that is why the last minute inclusion of Little Wing makes perfect sense. 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.
