"This one's got some good guitar."
I quote from a previous review, which, well intended, but doesn't come anywhere near to touching on the beauty and joy of Eric and Duane trading or intertwining their guitars on some of the tracks on this album. The entire band rocks and moans soulfully as required, Bobby Whitlock's vocals are perfect for the mood, and Eric is finally singing like he means it. There is a reason that people say this is one of, if not the best work ever done by Clapton. (Think about that for a second). It also qualifies as one of the best guitar albums in the history of rock (you are in Hendrix territory here). You can't beat the price -- you won't be sorry. If you haven't heard this, in some ways I'm jealous of the experience that lies ahead of you.
Keep on Growing!
This one's got some good guitar.
...of any era!
One of the greatest albums of any era. Pure emotion pours out of every track. Clapton and Duane Allman on the same album? Come on. I've owned this album on 8-track, vinyl and CD. Duane Allman played slide the way Paganini played the violin.
Must. Have.
One of my favorite albums from this era, and a favorite album period. Get it for the hits, if you must. But listen to those hits - the sorrow in "Bell Bottom Blues," the ferocious guitar interplay in "Why Does Love Got to Be So Sad?" "Layla" - in its original glory, not the sad slow lite-beer version - is simply volcanic. This is an emotionally raw album. The vocalists wail, scream, beg, whimper.The hair on the back of your neck will stand up at some of the performances - I strongly recommend "Thorn Tree in the Garden." That little falsetto whimper near the end of the song kills me. Listen to it again and again.One of the truly great albums of this era.
Essential!
One of the best records ever recorded. Clapton and company are at their finest. Download the entire album to have a piece of rock history.

An Introduction to the Yardbirds
By Lenny Kaye, eMusic Contributor
There were many British bands that swiveled rock's glorious adolescence, but for my nascent psychedelia and guitar drool, the Yardbirds have long held the most resonance. The wonder of first hearing the extended rave-up of "I'm A Man;" the Gregorian chants of "Still I'm Sad;" the eastern swami of "Over Under Sideways Down;" the clarion clang of the harpsichord in "For Your Love" forever changed for me how I would hear rock music. I sometimes think… more »
