\nBobby Whitlock\, co-founder of \;Derek &\; The Dominos\, recordedLayla &\; Other Assorted Love Songs\, and has \; appeared on Rock and Roll'\;s greatest albums including \;George Harrison'\;s \;All things Must Pass \;and the \;Rolling Stones'\; \;Exile on Main Street. Bobby represents the true southern blues/soul singer. Born in Memphis he was the first white artist to be signed to the Stax Hip label at the tender age of 16. Taken under the wings of \;Steve Cropper \;andDonald (Duck) Dunn \;at the time. In 1969 Bobby left Stax and went to California to become the first "\;friend"\; in the group \;Delaney &\; Bonnie &\; Friends. For a short time in Europe\, the guitar line up consisted of \;Eric Clapton\, \;George Harrison \;and \;Dave Mason. It was during this time that Bobby became friends with Eric Clapton. After leaving Delaney &\; Bonnie\, Bobby joined Eric Clapton where they began to write together\, becoming a formidable writing team and eventually recording "\;Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs"\; which is now celebrating its 40th year and is considered to be one of the most influential and great records in the history of rock-n-roll.. The rest is of course music history.

\nBobby is now partnered with wife \;CoCo Carmel\, who began her career in London\, England\, where she took to the road and played all across Europe. After nearly a decade in Europe\, she moved back to Los Angeles. She met and later married \;Delaney Bramlett. During those years with Delaney\, she produced and co/produced many records including her own solo record &ldquo\;First Fruit\, \;which came out in 2010 with Delaney\, featuring many songs written by the two of them. Bobby met CoCo after her marriage with Delaney ended in 2001. They immediately got to work writing\, singing\, recording and performing.
\n
\nIn 2011 Bobby&rsquo\;s autobiography \;Bobby Whitlock: A Rock-n-Roll Autobiography \;was released and has been a number one top rated book in rock music on Amazon. The two have been travelling together\, playing around the world and making records for the past fourteen years. CoCo engineers and produces all their records\, the latest and greatest being \;Carnival Live from Austin \;complete with an all-star line up. \;
\n
\nAs 2015 rings in\, so does a wonderful DVD/Blu Ray Documentary \;The Road to Austin \;featuring \;Kris Kristofferson\,Bonnie Raitt\, \;Stephen Bruton\, \;Bobby Whitlock \;and \;CoCo Carmel. Their performance on the show with an audience of 20\,000 (&ldquo\;Layla&rdquo\; and &ldquo\;Why Does Love Got to be so Sad&rdquo\;) is superb.
\n
\nThis year Bobby will be releasing his first solo record in fifteen years\, produced by Rob Fraboni (The Last Waltz\, Bob Dylan\,Eric Clapton\, The Band\, John Lennon\, Bonnie Raitt\, Joe Cocker and more). \;
