"Anyday" is a song written by Eric Clapton and Bobby Whitlock,
released in 1970 as the second track on Side 2 of Derek and the
Dominos double album Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs.
The song features double guitar parts played by both Clapton and
Duane Allman. Clapton specifically asked Allman to sit in for the
sessions after seeing him perform with the Allman Brothers. On
the recording, Clapton plays the slide guitar parts while Allman
plays rhythm guitar and provides the guitar solo. The intro of the
song as well as the verse are written in the key of A major,
while the chorus is written in the key of D major.
Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs is the sole studio album by the
English–American blues rock band Derek and the Dominos, released on
November 9, 1970 as a double album. The album failed to chart in the
UK, while in the US, it peaked at #16 on the Billboard Top LPs chart.
Despite it's moderate success at the time, it is often regarded as
as Eric Clapton's greatest musical achievement.
