I still listen to it from time to time. What a great collaboration. Of course, Clapton and Allman are killer, together. But then Bobby Whitlock is the soul man. He co-wrote and performed some of the best tracks.

The album is an enduring classic.

I'm not sure George Harrison felt the same way

Keep on Growing, Anyday and I Looked Away all feel criminally underrated. Killer record.

My favorite album of all time, and was practically guitar bible for me when I picked the instrument up many years ago.

It was such a whirlwind of circumstance for this album to happen & upon listening you can hear it.
Clapton being tormented by unrequited love for George Harrison’s wife, the happenstance situation of Duane Allman and his band being in Miami at the time of recording and agreeing to join the album only 3 tracks in.

Agreed with OP, Bobby Whitlock was a catalyst of the greatness in this album, just unbelievable soul in his vocals.

Clapton


In addition to being an amazing player, Clapton usually had great taste. He covered a Bob Marley song in 1974, way ahead of the curve.
