I'd completely forgotten just how good this song is! A blues influence but solid country!
Country, or would you say honky tonk blues?
@@coodermo5263 good thought.
The song leans country but Clapton's guitar is more blues. He plays filler in what would be empty space otherwise.
Yeah! I agree! â
Finally someone reacts to this Clapton classic! Awesome shuffle guitar riff and train beat
This has a Jerry Reed, swamp-funk feel to it. Someone should suggest they listen to When You're Hot, You're Hot, Amos Moses or She Got The Goldmine, I Got The Shaft.
The sound is more like the Tulsa Sound, which influenced Clapton. A shuffle played over a straight 4/4 drum beat was the bread and butter for the Tulsa guys.
It's sounds more like a J.J. Cale's vibe song to me.
Those are great suggestions
Jerry was a BOSS!
HERE COMES AMOS!!!! đ
This was the period in the '70s when he was trying to kick his various addictions and was fascinated with country music and acoustic blues. His favorite influences at the time were Don Williams (you should listen to his stuff, very mellow country vibe) and JJ Cale, a laid-back blues artist who also heavily influenced Lynyrd Skynyrd.
JJ Cale was the composer of "Cocaine", "After Midnight", & "Call Me The Breeze".
He was also influenced alot by johnny cash, that's why he did his variety show with the Dominos
and he was learning the blues.
@@ramonlong1079 1 of claptons favorites are sonny Terry brownie mcgee, great blues players with only a harmonica and guitar.
The backup singers bring a real sweetness to Claptonâs sound. I think the story was that his management didnât have a lot of confidence of him as a singer, and pushed him to add them prominently to his 70âs records.
And one of those backup singers is Yvonne Elliman, who had a hit song of her own called "If I Can't Have You", from the movie Saturday Night Fever.
@@centuryrox well, glad someone else was thinking what I was...thanks for putting this wonderful nugget out there....not many know that! Rock ON!
From the same 'Slowhand' album, Clapton's duet with Detroit's Marcy Levy 'The Core' would be amazing even without one of the best rock guitar solos plunked down 8n the middle!
Yvonne was in Jesus Christ superstar as well movie and play
@@donnalombardo1135, I love her song from that one, I Don't Know How to Love Him.
A similar sound, but, more bittersweet lyrics, is his song Promises. This particular shuffle rhythm is made to sound like an old train, chugging along.
I just looked up Promises and I had completely forgotten about that song. Thanks so much.
How could we know that promises end?
That sound is the Tulsa sound. It's a little bit southern, a little bit blues, a little bit country, and pure, sweet rock n'roll.
Great artist and song! This is country rock, rockabilly. Yes, leans bluesy and country.
COUNTRY! with a little blues and a little rock in it - at the time, many people thought Clapton had lost his touch (compared to songs while in "Cream" and "Blind Faith") I like it more now, than I did back in the day.
This always made me think of an old man in overalls doing a shuffle dance. đ
Great background vocals by Marcy Levy (who co-wrote the song) and Yvonne Elliman (who had a number one single "If I Can't Have You")
Cheers i didn't know about Yvonne
Yvonne was a hottie Hawaiian back in the day
@@shanenolan8252 yes she toured with Eric after Jesus Christ superstar
@@donnalombardo1135 cool didn't know that Donna
Didn't know it was both Marcella Detroit (Shakespeare's Sister) AND Yvonne Elliman. Super eclectic, bluesy harmony going on there.
Layla,Let It Rain, BellBottom Blues, Why Does Love Have To Be So Sad .
just a few other gems to consider.
Bell Bottom Blues is my personal favorite of his.
Let It Rain is amaaaaaazzzziinnnggg, especially if you're a guitar freak. That closing solo is L I F E
Pretty much anything from the Layla albumâŠAnyday is my favorite
3 Of 4 off the same album. Self titled Eric Clapton. Great great album.
It's like a Bluegrass Country, Blues Cross over type of song with the finger picking type of guitar style almost Banjo like.. Remember listening to this on his album as a kid on Cassette tape! Lol đ đđđŽó §ó ąó „ó źó §ó ż
One of the best guitarists of all time - and yes Clapton was heavily influenced by the blues.
Most of the greats were influenced by the blues. (Stevie Ray Vaughn and Jimmy Page especially).
This sound is called "The Tulsa Sound". Most of the the band members were from Tulsa Oklahoma. Clapton lived here in Tulsa for a short while, loving the style of music. That sound includes Leon Russell, JJ Cales, the Hansons, David Gates, and many others.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tulsa_sound?wprov=sfla1
His 80's stuff is actually really good! If you can find it, his cover of his own 1970 hit "After Midnight" released in 1988 is AWESOME!
Don't remember the exact year, late 80s or super early 90s, but the Journeyman album is fantastic.
@@BlackSmokeDMax 1989
The album "Slowhand" came out in 1977
It's good but I prefer the early rocking version.
After Midnight is actually a JJ Cale song.
Wife here...LOVED THIS COUNTRY ROCK JEM ALL MY LIFE!!...Mr.Clapton adores AMERICAN BLUES!! (..It has had a major influence on his music..!THANK YOU ONCE AGAIN!!
Love the guitar in this song. And what an amazing life story this man has to share.
lots of good memories with this album. my wife's dad had it in the basement den where the stereo was. when I'd come over we'd go down and "listen to music" in the den and this was one of my favs that he had. Wonderful Tonight is on this Slowhand album and a great love song.
Country blues. Clapton wrote this with the backing singer (Marcy Levy) and George Terry (who also played with Abba and the BeeGees).
Marcy Levy, later of Shakespears Sister (as Marcella Detroit) with Siobhan Fahey, formerly of Bananarama, who was once married to Dave Stewart, who was half of Eurythmics with Annie Lennox. That's all from this evening's episode of "Rock Family Trees".
Attended his concert in Dallas about 25 years ago. No opening act and he played for 4 hours. Amazing
There was a time in his career he got into country. He also has " Swing Low Sweet Chariot ". Another great tune from Clapton . In my opinion , all through the 70's was his best years. The live version of " Lay Down Sally " from live in the 70's are great. You should listen to his song " The Core " live version. đđđđđž
Love a little Lay down Sally. If Clapton is in it you know the guitar is going to be good.
Background vocals by the great Yvonne Elliman and Marcela Levy. Levy co-wrote the song with Clapton. She later became Marcella Detroit and had a great band called Shakespeare's Sister.
Bell bottom Blues , Lex will love it !
Backing singer is marchella levy later known as Marcella detroit ...she also has a writing credit on this song ...she later became one half of the group Shakespeare's sister :)
This has always been my favorite song of his, even counting the other bands he was in. Don't know why, I can just listen to this song on repeat and it never gets old.
Eric and his band members all played with Leon Russell. Leon, Carl Radle and Jamie Oldaker were all from Tulsa and were part of the Tulsa Sound. I'm pretty sure anyway. I saw a CZcams video on Leon once.
As Iâve gotten older Iâve learned to appreciate this iteration of Clapton. Growing up, I loved Cream, Derek and the Dominoes, and then fast forward to Journey in 1989 and his unplugged record. The country influence and the 80s stuff needed time and space to grow on me.
I was the same way. Loved him in Cream mostly. But after I matured I realized just how great Clapton was at writing and singing. Plus his acoustic playing is so good. Still love his 60's early 70's soloing best because I play too and he was one of my idols.
This has been covered by country artists a lot. It's a fantastic song. Marry Levy is the woman singing. I believe she cowrote this with Clapton.
Drop it like itâs hot Sally??!!
Thatâs hilarious đ
Great reaction!!
Clapton is definitely a vibe. Once you get into one song, you roll out the whole index.
This is my favorite by Mr. Eric Clapton, besides his work on the Beatles' While My Guitar Gently Weeps
I can't think of a better Clapton song to demonstrate how special he is. â
Its got a bluesy New Orleans shuffle sound. A sweet, upbeat vibe.
Ooh ooh. As a Clapton fan and guitar player, I can heartily recommend 1970's "Let It Rain", especially since Lex is such a guitar-head. The end solo is righteous.
Clapton plays blues, rock and some real good balladsâŠhe has an incredible acoustic R&B song called Change The World, definitely should listen to it.
Yes great song i remember it was from the soundtrack of phenomenon with john Travolta.
My husband and I can jitterbug a hole in the floor with this one. Still after 40 years. You two are fun.
Country rock was huge in the 70's.
Man⊠yâall are great! I love how you love music!
I discovered you today and Iâve really enjoyed your fresh unbigoted views on the old tried and trues⊠as well as the new stuff!
I love watching you guys just absorb it!
I was a junior in high school when this came out. Somebody had this playing on a boom box outside the band hall. I made a comment about âlaying down Sallyâ, one of our gorgeous majorettes.
Jack of all trades, master of none, is a shortened deviation of the earlier, original saying. It was shortened in a way that completely perverts it from the original message the expression was meant to deliver not so long ago, in my Granddad's day (a WWII Vet) up through the 50 and early 60s, when the hippies got ahold of it, it continued... Jack of all trades, master of none, always tops a master of one, but a Jack on none
Eric Clapton is The king of the Stratocaster guitar.
That man, a guitar and a stage = Heaven.
( I Saw him live in 84.
Incredible!!!)
One of the backing singers and also co-writer is Marcella Detroit who had a huge hit in the early 90s with the song âStayâ as part of the band Shakespears Sister along with a former member of Bananarama. It needs to be seen/heard to believe.
Iâm a super Eric Clapton fan! Iâve seen him twice in concert! Thanks Brad and Lex for what you do!
You guys should react toâŠ
Eric Clapton - Wonderful Tonight
đžđ€
Agreed
Yes,but have they listened?
Steppin out lol
Camping in my backyard with friends, in the 70's, listening to this on a transistor radio.
Its always a treat for me to check to see what songs you are reacting to, great choices keep up the good work
I forgot about this gem. Clapton is so great, he also only plays with guys/gals that just smoke. Great tune.
Brad & Lex, his "Forever Man", "Pretending" and "I Shot The Sheriff" are next for you!!
This is Clapton showing his JJ Cale influence. Marcy Levy is singing backup. She sang with him during the mid/late 70s.
From what I remember, this is about his dog, Sally.
This song has JJ Cale's fingerprints all over it, no he didn't write the song, or play on the song, or produce the song. But you can hear that Clapton is channeling his inner JJ for this song, it's undeniable if know JJ's work.
The girl singing the backing vocals in the chorus is the lead singer of Shakespeare's Sister
You must check out Eric Clapton- I shot a sheriff crossroads 2004 live version. Best guitar solo everđ
You should check out Clapton's Just One Night live recording of the song "Worried Life Blues." I swear he got the devil in his fingers and the blues in his soul. Robert Johnson would sure 'nuff be proud of Clapton.
Co- written with Marcella Detroit one of his backing singers. She was also in Shakespeares Sister. Look them up. Their top song and fabulous video was Stay.
This from the era when Clapton was listening to and emulating not just covering a lot of J J Cale, one of the most underrated musicians EVER. Had a huge impact on rock, especially those that mixed country, blues rock together, Clapton, Dire Straits, Neil Young, etc, also those artists themselves influenced many many more artists so the unique influence of J J Cale spread incredibly. He's slipped under the radar and sadly died with not enough remembrance. Very surprised that such a massive part of American music hasn't been pushed much more into the limelight. His influence over here in the UK was huge. J J Cale himself didn't want the fame though so maybe his family have similar outlooks.
Eric covered a Bob Marley song "I shot the Sheriff", that was a big hit & also helped Marley's career. Clapton for some reason left out the reason why in the song Bob shot the Sheriff, cause he was growing cannabis.
It's what they call ROCK A BILLYđ€ .
You asked if it was blues. Sounds highly blues influenced which is no surprise. Clapton was likely one out of two or three kids in England back in the 50s collecting blues music and learning ALL of the artists. He was obsessed. Do you guys realize he was knighted? He wrote so many amazing songs but Lay down Sally was good enough to get him knighted alone, just for writing that ONE song. Oh and then Brad remarks it sounds southern. Well lots of English men try to sound southern because of their love of blues and rock. Eric, Elton, Mick.....
"Bell Bottom Blues" has always been my fave Clapton song.
Would love Lex's reaction to a few Richard Thompson tracks.
She's obviously a lover of a well crafted, slightly off the wall solo, and Richard has that in spades with his unique style.
"Turn Out the Lights" would be a good one for that.
52 Vincent live at the songwriters show is a great one.
One of those backup singers is the great Marcella Detroit, aka Marcy Levy, who was one of the singers in Shakespears Sister. If you guys have not done Stay by them yet, you will have to watch the video version. That woman is well preserved.
Ugh I love watching you guys react to songs I grew up listening to thanks to my daddy. It gives me a renewed appreciation đ
You need to check out some JJ Cale who was a strong influence on Clapton around this time. Clapton covered After Midnight and Cocaine. Lynyrd Skynyrd covered Call Me The Breeze. ââ€đšđŠ
Personally I think E.C. owes J.J. a ton of money for appropriating his style wholesale and despite that, he's not remotely as funky as J.J.
Clapton branched out in his solo career ..this has overtones of country. I think that's Yvonne Elliman on backup vocals.
This and Cocaine were on the jukebox at my parents bar when I was a teen. I used to clean the place on Sundays when it was closed so I jammed to this stuff. The jukebox was loud as Hell when you were in the bar alone. : )
ERIC CLAPTON:
"I've Got A Rock n Roll Heart"
"Tulsa Time"
"Bad Love"
"Pretending"
"No Alibis"
"Before You Accuse Me"
That intro is the audio equivalent of a swiss watch - those different guitar parts playing different riffs but meshing perfectly and then the rest of the band coming in after a few bars - it's perfect, I can listen to it over and over. It's a great track overall and one of my favourite Clapton singles. Maybe do "Promises" or "Willie and the Hand Jive" next?
A bit of Bob Marley Reggae influence. This was off his Journeyman album which also featured, "I shot the Sheriff."
Have I mentioned OCEANS OF SLUMBER and their new song THE WATERS RISING?đđ¶ Many times now.đ
Classic song about the guy catching feelings for his one-nighter.
Another one to add to my collection. Always liked this one too. Great reaction. Lex you are a cutie...Brad you're ok too. Lol.
I've been trying to get some of my usual subscriptions to react to this song for ages. So I'm now subscribing to you. Because they ain't playing my suggestions.
Now you are getting into my Clapton era!! đ„ł
Bring it Lex, you r gonna love it, he does quite a few covers!! â€đđœ
The layed back groove
Eric Claytonâs âRunning on Faith Unpluggedâ has gotten me through many rough times. You should react to it. You will fall in love â€
My fave Clapton album is "461 Ocean Boulevard", Very mellow.
Harmonizing, good old southern rock
Go back even further, 70's stuff really good...Mr Slow hand's Clapton!!!!
There is an infamous moment in Australian sport, where Sally Robbins collapsed in the middle of an Olympic rowing final in Athens back in 2004 and she has become etched in Australian sporting history and is forever known as Lay Down Sally.
Further on up the road where he performs it with "The Band" in the concert movie "The Last Waltz" very good guitar playing
Definitely country blues influences from Clapton
I'm not giving up. Please check out Mad Season Wake up? Mad Season consist of Layne Staley from Alice n Chains and Mike McCready guitarist đž from Pearl Jam.
WHAT?! Did she say Clapton's not exactly bluesy? No Lex, Eric Clapton plays Blues Rock. That is his absolute speciality. Smoothe af!
Clapton showing he can play all parts at once.
Very few guitar players can do it!
Slowhand is God! This is part of his country sound. They still play this all the time on country radio stations.
I had that 45 when I was a teenager. Low teens, like 13 or 14. I think it might've been before I knew anything else about Clapton.
Great rendition of a classic. Cannot go wrong with Clapton!
This is the original, isnât it?
As well as being an outstanding musician, Clapton is a great team player / collaborator and this has brought him into many interesting orbits over the years. Music is about playing together at the end of the day.
BTW.....4 black brothers with a white drummer created this ICONIC Masterpiece from the 60âs Psychedelic Era Trust meâŠ. You do not want your life to end without hearing this song.
âTIME HAS COME TODAYâ- The Chambers Brothers - Album Long version, then Live. PLEASE and Thank You.
1,524,964 views so far. YOU will like it too.This song is a ONE OF A KIND that will blow your minds. I'll wait to watch the look on your faces.
I love this song, I had this album on a cassette tape and I played it until the tape go so thing it broke into pieces. Such a fun and catchy song. Thank you.
You both do a great job
Tulsa Time and Blues Power are two great songs from this era for him.
This one's got kind of a Wonderful Tonight vibe. If you wanna hear Clapton rock,try Bad Love.
Brad, Lex: It's Eric. That's it.
Rockabilly? But definitely a good beat / groove! Lex is digging it! :)
I forgot about this track. I thoroughly enjoyed that.
