Video: Layla, if it was written by Dire Straits
Ever wondered what it would sound like if Dire Straits had written and performed Eric Clapton’s “Layla”? Laszlo Buring took to Youtube to share what this version would have sounded…
By the early ‘90s, Clapton was more popular than ever, but his guitar playing lacked the fire of his earlier years. That fire came back in this performance; Clapton took Dylan’s folk song about betrayal, from 1962’s ‘The Freewheelin’ Bob Dylan,’ and turned it into an explosive blues jam. It’s not just a great guitar performance, it’s also one of Clapton’s best vocal performances, ever.

Hey It’s Ryan, let me start off by saying…YES, I was born and raised in Wixom, Michigan although a lot of listeners like to joke that I am from Arizona. WCSX has always been my radio home, I have been at the station since I was a 23-year-old intern, co-host of Big Jim’s House, married with kids. Family and radio are what I love, but don’t get me started on golf!
Like some, I have become obsessed with golf and you can hear all about that on “The Ball Washer Pod” right here on WCSX. One of my other passions is helping out the Vets. Since coming to WCSX I have been apart of raising hundreds of thousands for local vet groups. Other than that, I am a goofy guy, loving life, my family and talking to you on the radio. Ryan writes about golf, family and what happens on “Big Jim’s House.”
