Do you know any songs that are similar in sound to Layla by Derek and the Dominoes?

I love the music so much. What are some other songs which sound similar in style?Do you know any songs that are similar in sound to Layla by Derek and the Dominoes?
Layla was written by Eric Clapton a member of the group at that time. Clapton wrote it about his love for Pattie Boyd, the wife of his friend and fellow musician George Harrison of the Beatles. Anything by Eric Clapton might fall into that category such as Tears in Heaven, Running On Faith, You Look Wonderful Tonight (also written for Pattie after they were married). His CD Unplugged is excellent.Do you know any songs that are similar in sound to Layla by Derek and the Dominoes?
Duane Allman was also in Derek and the Dominoes so you may like some of The Allman Brothers Band music. ABB was the only band to have 4 guitar players listed in Rolling Stone Magazine's Top 100 Guitar Players of all time. The newer ABB features Warren Haynes and Derek Trucks where as the old band had Duane Allman and Dickie Betts. I prefer the current lineup. You may also like Warren's other band, Gov't Mule. Fantastic guitar and great songs.Do you know any songs that are similar in sound to Layla by Derek and the Dominoes?
