Bobby Whitlock (album)
''Bobby Whitlock'' is the debut solo album by American songwriter and rock musician Bobby Whitlock, released in early 1972. The album features all of the former members of Derek and the Dominos – Whitlock, Eric Clapton, Carl Radle and Jim Gordon – although never all together. Other contributors include George Harrison, the sessions for whose 1970 triple album ''All Things Must Pass'' had led to the formation of the Dominos; Delaney and Bonnie Bramlett; and ex-Manfred Mann bassist Klaus Voormann.

The album was produced by Whitlock and Andy Johns,〔Reid, p. 145.〕 apart from the song "I'd Rather Live the Straight Life", which Whitlock produced with Joe Zagarino. The sessions took place at Olympic Studios in London,〔 beginning in March 1971, according to a press release accompanying the album's 2013 reissue.〔 The album's creation coincided with the final months of Derek and the Dominos' brief career, which ended during the Johns-produced sessions for their proposed second studio album in April–May that year.〔Phil Sutcliffe, "Derek and the Dominos: The Story of ''Layla''", ''Mojo'', May 2011; available at (Rock's Backpages ) (''subscription required''; retrieved 27 September 2013).〕 Dominos biographer Jan Reid describes the relationships among the band members as "dicey" and writes that while making ''Bobby Whitlock'', in what Reid gives as January 1971, Whitlock worked with Gordon on a basic track before Clapton or Radle would add their parts separately.〔
On the original release, musician credits did not appear, although the record company's press release listed some of the album's main contributors.〔Leng, p. 123fn.〕 When discussing the sessions in his 2010 autobiography, Whitlock lists Delaney Bramlett, rather than Voormann, as the bass player on some tracks.〔Whitlock, pp. 237–38.〕 Harrison played guitar on some songs,〔 out of gratitude for Whitlock's participation on ''All Things Must Pass''.〔Leng, p. 123.〕
The opening song, "Where There's a Will", was a collaboration with Bonnie Bramlett that also featured the former Delaney & Bonnie horn section, Bobby Keys and Jim Price.〔Reid, p. 146.〕 Whitlock recalls writing "A Game Called Life" and "The Scenery Has Slowly Changed" at Clapton's house Hurtwood Edge, shortly after he and Clapton had quit working with Delaney & Bonnie.〔Whitlock, p. 237.〕 "Song for Paula" was written for the sister of Harrison's wife, Pattie Boyd; the gatefold album cover also featured a photo of Paula Boyd.〔 According to Whitlock, "Back in My Life Again" came about towards the end of a session when Harrison suggested he "just make something up"; Whitlock then discussed a tempo with drummer Jim Gordon, told the other musicians the key was B minor, and said to Andy Johns, "Hit record."〔 Whitlock praises Gordon's drumming on the album as "astounding" and says of Clapton's performance on "The Scenery Has Slowly Changed": "This is the most beautiful guitar work that I have ever heard Eric play. What he played was for me, I'm sure, because he was playing how I felt."〔
