JJ CALE

JJ Cale...the man behind such classics as Cocaine, After Midnight, They Call Me the Breeze. Eric Clapton, who made several of Cale's songs famous, said this of the man “In my humble opinion, he is one of the most important artists in the history of rock, quietly representing the greatest asset his country has ever had...”

I fell in love with JJ after hearing a live acoustic radio show he did at KFOG in San Francisco. Cale's vocals are raspy and breathy, and his guitar playing, immaculate. After getting to know these acoustic versions of Cale's songs, I sought out the originals. Who knew Cajun Moon was so seventies funky!

Closer To You has got Cale one upping Kanye and T.Pain with OG style use of autotune and ridiculous lyrics like "Wish I was your underwear hanging around your waist. Everytime you'd shake that thing I'd get a little taste."

Damn JJ...
