JJ Cale

Why is this guy not in R&R hall of fame?

One of my favorites. Wish I’d have seen him more than just once.
He would probably be fine with not being in the RRHOF
Love his style, great song writer

Possible too close for comfort for Clapton! The revelations about Duane Allman's involvement in 'Layla' were bad enough

Clapton mentioned JJ as the best gitarist he ever knew.

I know, I'm only teasing. 'Call me the breeze' also happens to be one of the best Lynyrd Skynard songs.

This is cool, I think the only stuff Ive ever known him for were the covers that are so famous and his crossroads performance. I really like the vid in the OP gonna have to go further down this rabbit hole now. I dont know why I never investigated further, Ive known about him since I was a kid and had my live Skynyrd LP. I guess just so much good music theres always something new to discover.

There is a YT channel with lots of full concerts from the 70s and 80s. Amazing stuff on there

I love JJ Cale. His style and songwriting is unique, and you instantly know it's him. Such an inspiration to a number of artists as well. I have quite a few of his albums on vinyl. Instantly sets a chill mood when I throw on one of his albums. Good music to get stoned too as well!

I'm deep in the rabbit hole

I got a few on vinyl from way back and some on disc. I'm missing some ones I should have though.
I have really enjoyed the posthumous release "Stay Around".


Really a strong album of songs that had never made it out before.



There is a movie on YouTube I keep meaning to watch called To Tulsa and Back too.

This video is kind of dumb but if true probably gives a glimpse of how he would feel about not being in the RnR HOF-

Wow, I wasn't aware of that Stay Around album, but I will be checking into it for sure., Stay Around is a great tune and already sounds like one of his classics! Thanks for sharing!
