Layla and Assorted Love Songs--Derek and the Dominoes | The Story Behind the Album Cover Art

Send us Fan MailThis is an album inspired by a Persian love tragedy that makes Romeo and Juliet read like a sitcom. It resonated with the unrequited love of a slow-handed rock guitar god in love with the wife of his Beatles bestie. The painting on the cover was never meant for an album but it matched the intense feelings that burned inside Eric Clapton when he saw  and had to have the painting. and that is about half the story.  Grab a copy and listen along with us.
