Cocaine

After Midnight

Call Me the Breeze

He shall be missed.

ETA: TY Spirited, I didn't know.

Not making the guest list with Beiber and Minaj? Oh well...

I'm crushed. JJ Cale was a piece of America.

I know. I keep thinking about it and hearing his music in my head. He is a much bigger loss than people know, IMO.

Can't say I've even heard of him.

So I guess I won't miss his parting.

Obviously not that great coz he didn't make much impression over here.

I've never heard of him at all.

ETA: I've not heard those songs either.

Among others, he wrote "Call me the Breeze,After Midnight and Cocaine."

But for those in the know, it's the stuff that's not famous that's so awesome. He's one of those Townes Van Zandt sorta guys, massive influence, much of it done behind the scenes. His writing, his style, greatly influenced the seventies.
