My personal review and reflection:
A delicious album. Pure pleasure to listen to. 77 minutes of great music. The most wellknown song is naturally "Layla", and its a masterpiece. But for me the best tracks on the album are "Nobody knows..." and "Have You Ever Loved A Woman". In "Have You Ever...", the emotion Eric displays in his playing and singing is fantastic. To hear Duane Allman in the left speaker and Eric in the right speaker in "Nobody Knows..", ....... I'm speechless!
