Since their initial meeting at Madison Square Garden, Clapton got along very well with Delaney Bramlett who encouraged the guitarist to sing even through he had been highly reticent to do so throughout the tenure of Blind Faith. Clapton held the Bramletts and their musicians in high regard and offered to sponsor them on a European tour if Delaney and his band would assist Clapton in recording a solo album. In the interim, Clapton returned to England where he accepted a last-minute invitation by John and Yoko Lennon to join them in performing a concert on October 13, in Varsity Stadium in Toronto, Canada. John Lennon was so pleased by the experience that he informed Clapton that he would like to include him in a new group that he would be forming. The cross-pollination of British and American musicians in impacted many artists. Clapton joined George Harrison in sessions for a proposed Rick Grech solo album but he appeared to be marking time until the arrival of Delaney and Bonnie and Friends. The guitarist maintained a low profile both on and off stage as his new friends basked in their sudden surge of popularity and he reveled in the anonymity of a large group without the pressures and expectations associated with his customary role as a superstar guitarist.

The Dowd mix was the one used for the original release. Bramlett's mix is included in the Deluxe Edition released on CD in In an interview from , promoting The Road to Escondido , Clapton recalled that he was very happy making this album and was pleased with the results of the recording sessions, but also noted that "the only thing [he] didn't like about the album is [his] voice", because it sounds so "high" and "young", which Clapton disliked, because he "always wanted to sound like an old guy".

I can say this. I also remember my father a stake president telling me the night before I got married that every single couple he had counseled through marriage struggles were not reading their scriptures or praying together every night.

Like many single members of the church, I have often wondered whether I would be willing to marry someone outside of the temple, and over the past few years I have come to believe that I would be willing to do so.
