You can check out the entire thing, including "All of Me," his duet with Paul McCartney, at this location.
Old Sock will be released March 12 on Clapton's Bushbranch label. It will be his first studio album since 2010's Clapton.
Of the album's 12 tracks, 10 are covers, including "Angel" (featuring JJ Cale), "Get On Over" (featuring Chaka Khan) and Gary Moore's "Still Got the Blues" (featuring Steve Winwood, Clapton's former Blind Faith bandmate). The album's two new original tunes are "Every Little" and "Gotta Get Over."
Other covers on the album include Leadbelly's "Goodnight Irene," Peter Tosh's "Till Your Well Runs Dry" and George and Ira Gershwin's "Love Is Here to Stay."
Clapton will tour the US this spring, culminating with his Crossroads Guitar Festival at Madison Square Garden in New York City in mid-April. That show will feature performances by Jeff Beck, Jimmie Vaughan, B.B. King, Buddy Guy, the Allman Brothers Band, John Mayer and Gary Clark Jr.

It isn't exactly Layla is it? "pre-order on itunes of Amazon" or.... you can just click on the link and pull the mp3s out of Temporary Internet Files while it plays. I got the whole thing but really only two songs are worth the trouble. Still Got The Blues pales beside the Gary Moore version but way better than the rest of this album. Gotta Get Over it is OK, at least he plays his guitar on it. The rest of it is just your typical laid back Clapton we've all heard plenty of and wonder why does he bother. When is he going to record an album of kick ass stuff with plenty of the fiery guitar playing we know he can do.
