Frankly, I always thought Chris Layton was an underrated drummer. SRV was an extremely improvisational player and Layton was able to adjust to that style of live playing on the fly. He and Tommy Shannon allowed SRV to be SRV. I was able to see the two of them in Austin with Doyle Bramhall II about ten years ago. Great live musicians.

Speaking of Doyle Brammal, The Arc Angels one off with Double Trouble backing him and Charlie Sexton is a desert island disc for me. Spanish Moon (not to be confused with the song by Little Feat) is fantastic song. Get's my blood flowing whenever I hear it.
Where Chris shines aside from being the GOAT shuffle drummer, is his interpretations of Mitch Mitchell. SRV's Hendrix covers would sound like c^*p if Chris Layton couldn't lay it down like Mitch.
