Layla An all-time classic 70’s hit by Eric Clapton and his band Derek and the Dominos. Clapton was inspired by an ancient Arabian love story and poem by a Persian poet. It is also assumed that his love for Pattie Boyd, then married to George Harrison may have added to his inspiration for the tune.

Do you know who’s ripping it on the slide guitar? Love in Vain This heavily covered, long-standing blues tune was originally written by the traditional bluesman himself, Robert Johnson in 1939.

The song is about “unrequited love, using a departing train as a metaphor for loss” which countless blues musicians have done since. Other notable versions of the song include the Rolling Stones, Peter Green, Eric Clapton, and Keb’ Mo’.

At Last I know that most of you, if not singing this song at the top of your lungs already, are imagining Etta James’ sultry vocals belting out this soul-blues classic. The song was originally written for films and was performed by Glenn Miller and his orchestra in the 1940’s. Sweet Little Angel Known by other names like “Sweet Black Angel” or “Black Angel Blues,” this blues standard has been performed and recorded by many musicians throughout the years, starting with Lucille Bogan in 1930. Other big names in blues like Buddy Guy, Tampa Red, Earl Hooker, and most popularly, B.B. King all have incredible renditions of the song.

I Can’t Quit You Baby A great blues tune that was written by the highly influential Willie Dixon who wrote some of the most popular blues songs of all time. His songs helped to bridge a gap between rock and blues when a lot of artists like Hendrix, Bob Dylan, Jeff Beck, and other bands started covering his songs. “I Can’t Quit You Baby” was famously covered by Led Zeppelin on their debut album. I Just Want To Make Love To You Another hit blues song originally written by Willie Dixon in 1954. The great bluesman Muddy Waters first recorded the song as “Just Make Love to Me” which went on to dominate the R&B charts. Other notable covers are by Etta James and the blues-rock band Foghat. Asking Around For You Although he is known for his fiery, ripping blues solos, blues-rock titan Joe Bonamassa has a softer side and delivers incredibly moving ballads.
