It deals with Clapton's unrequited love for Pattie Boyd, the wife of his friend George Harrison, and appears on the 1970 double album Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs. Issued as a single, backed with "Keep on Growing", the song reached number 91 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1971.[2][3] A re-release backed with "Little Wing" peaked at number 78 on the same chart.[2] Background and recording"Bell Bottom Blues" was recorded before Duane Allman joined the recording sessions for the Layla album, so Clapton is the only guitarist on the song.[4][5][7] Clapton compensates for this by playing multiple guitar parts, including a sensitive, George Harrison-style guitar solo and chime-like harmonics.[4][6][7] The other musicians on the recording are Bobby Whitlock on Hammond organ, Carl Radle on bass and percussion, and Jim Gordon on drums, including tabla and backwards snare.[4][12] Whitlock also sings occasional harmony vocals.[8][9] CompositionBell-bottoms are a style of trousers that were popular at the time. According to Clapton, the song was written for Pattie Boyd after she asked him to get her a pair of bell-bottom blue jeans from the United States.[15] Clapton wrote the song for her, along with many others on the album such as "I Looked Away" and "Layla".[10] The lyrics describe a lovers' quarrel.[8] Bill Janovitz of AllMusic notes the raw anguish in Clapton's voice in the pre-chorus and chorus: Do you want to see me crawl across the floor to you Do you want to hear me beg you to take me back I'd gladly do it because I don't want to fade away Give me one more day, please I don't want to fade away In your heart I want to stay contrasted with the somber longing expressed in Clapton's voice in the verses: Bell bottom blues You made me cry I don't want to lose this feeling If I could choose a place to die It would be in your arms.[4] Author Jan Reid also praises Clapton's singing on the song, noting that his phrasing manages to suggest that despite the pain he is feeling, the woman's antics remind him of the "joy of just being alive".[8] Songwriting creditThe writing of the song was originally credited to Eric Clapton alone, but is now jointly credited to Clapton and Bobby Whitlock. Whitlock stated in an interview in 2011 that "Eric started the song ... He played me the first two verses at his house and I helped with the last verse", and that it was credited to Clapton alone by a "clerical error".[11] In 2015, in an interview by Mike Rossi for Fabio Create, Whitlock stated that Clapton had now formally accepted that Whitlock had contributed, and in future the song would be jointly credited.[12] The BMI website now credits both writers.[1] ReceptionIn a review upon the album's release, Rolling Stone writer Ed Leimacher called "Bell Bottom Blues" (as well as "Have You Ever Loved a Woman") filler.[8] A retrospective of the album in Rolling Stone praised the song as an epic that "feels as if it's going to shatter from the heat of its romantic agony".[13] AllMusic critic Bill Janovitz admires both Clapton's guitar playing and his anguished vocal performance.[4] In The New Rolling Stone Album Guide, J. D. Considine cites the track as an example of how Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs is "about the transformation of the blues, a process Clapton and his band mates manage through a variety of means", adding that the song "distills the pop-blues approach of Blind Faith and Cream into a memorable chorus and exquisite metaphor".[14] AdaptationsCher recorded "Bell Bottom Blues" on her 1975 album Stars. Matthew Sweet and Susanna Hoffs covered the song on their 2009 album Under the Covers, Vol. 2.[15] Bruce Springsteen borrowed the line "I don't wanna fade away" for his 1980 song "Fade Away" from "Bell Bottom Blues".[16] Lady Gaga referenced the title in her song "Dope", where she sings "I'm sorry and I love you, stay with me, 'Bell Bottom Blue'."
