Bell Bottom Blues - Eric Clapton

From the album Layla and Other Assorted Love songs by Eric Clapton with Derek and the Dominos. It was recorded prior to Duane Allman joining the session, so Clapton was the only guitarist on the song. It was written by Clapton for Pattie Boyd after she asked him to get her a pair of bell bottom blue jeans from the US. He wrote Layla for her as well.

Bell Bottom Blues was originally credited to Clapton, but is now jointly credited with Bobby Whitlock, who helped Clapton write the last verse.

It was probably out 3 years when I bought it.
Lots of songs on there I'd still be happy to listen to, today.
This song is one of them.
