"Somebody's Knockin' on My Door", or sometimes just "Somebody's Knockin'", not to be confused with Somebody's Knockin' by Terri Gibbs, is a song written by the American recording artist J. J. Cale he never released.[1]
In 2014, when English musician Eric Clapton did the album called The Breeze, a tribute to J. J. Cale who had died the previous year, he met up with his wife, Christine, and asked her, "Is there anything lying about that I could maybe finish or work with?". She gave him two CDs of unreleased material which Clapton found "all fantastic" and covered "Somebody’s Knockin"[1] as the set opener for his 2015 Slowhand at 70 concert film and live album.[2] Billboard called the Clapton take "rollicking"[3] and The Telegraph thinks the song allows Clapton to play "handsome solos" between the lead vocal parts.[4]
In 2016, Clapton released a studio version of the song on his album I Still Do.

Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
