"Bell Bottom Blues" is a song by Eric Clapton performed by Derek and the Dominos. It is a song (apparently) dealing with unrequited love on the album Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs.
The song shares its title with an older number by Teresa Brewer; for that piece, see Bell Bottom Blues.
As Duane Allman's debut does not come until the album's fourth track (the blues standard "Nobody Knows You When You're Down and Out"), "Bell Bottom Blues" features only Clapton on guitar; Clapton compensates for this by overdubbing rhythm and lead parts. The track is likely the second-best known cut from the album, surpassed only by the famous title track, "Layla".
