1379 Derek and the Dominoes - Key to the Highway

1379 Derek and the Dominoes - Key to the Highway

From: Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs, Year: 1970

I've actually been meaning to pick this track for a while now since Arthur picked it on his Song a Day blog.
From what I understand this recording of this blues standard came into being when Eric Clapton and Duane Allman were jamming in the studio whilst they were on break during recording the album; apparently the record's producer heard them playing and started recording it.

Hear the studio version on YouTube.



My song pick a year ago today: David Bowie - All The Madmen
