Yesterday, J.J. Cale died . He was 74 years old. Many won't know his name but his music. He wrote "Cocaine" and "After Midnight" and has influenced musicians like Eric Clapton, Dire Straits, Johnny Cash and many more.

Meet old friends now and and play the blues.

Hello Lover ~  It has been awhile since I have been to the "forum" section of this site.  I must admit,  did not expect to see a tribute to J.J. Cale here, but I am so grateful that you posted one!  J.J.'s music has enriched my life in ways that I do not feel I can describe in words.  I have seen him many time and have also had the good fortune to have met him, talked to him, helped him and his band find food in Raleigh NC in the wee hours of the morning, and of course had him sign most of my album and CDs!  Also, I have a dear friend who passed on back in the 1990s who shared a back-up band with J.J. for a brief portion of his career.  It was through this connection that my friend acquired J.J.'s famous drum-machine that appears on many of his albums and demos.  I consider it a holy relic!  Anyway, thank you for the post.  It warmed my heart.  And for those of you who don't know his music, I highly recommend "Naturally" and "Troubador" to get you started!  Peace and Love ~  Dex
