JJ Cale wrote a lot of popular songs of the 70's: Cocaine and After Midnight (Clapton), and Call Me The Breeze (Skynrd) to name a few. Great post.
This is a gritty raunchy guitar lovers song,but yeah Eric in the 70s had his issues with it.But yeah Eric is the 🎸 master!!! Yes he is always a little bluesy
Saw EC 2x...always hasd a second guitarist. Albert Lee...may be better.
Only "guitar god" I've ever seen, and I've seen anout all of em except Beck (jimmy Page 5x), who had to have a 2nd guitarist. No soul.
@@JuniorFarquar Eric Clapton spent about 16 thousand dollars a week on his heroin addiction back in the 1970s; he claims he couldn't quit heroin cold turkey, so he turned to cocaine and alcohol to keep him going. For a while, in the mid-70s, his guitar playing was shit, that's why he needed a second guitar player. When the man was sober, he was really good...one of the best.
This song will always be a banger!!
Eric Clapton is the man. I love his version of “I Shot the Sheriff”. He is a big Bob Marley fan (and B.B. King) ☮️💟
I heard Clapton in a interview, " I have never played a song that I didn't throw in some blues." The song came out in 1977.
J. J Cale released this on his album “Troubadour”, and that was before 77.
I’ve heard that quote before.
This song was tongue in cheek about using cocaine. Clapton has been through rehab many times. He has founded a rehab center in Antigua in the West Indies called Crossroads Centre Antigua. Now, when he performs this song he calls it, "that dirty cocaine". He is my favorite guitar player. He has such a large catalog. My all-time favorite is The Core. Bell Bottom Blues ranks up there along with Breaking Point, Running On Faith, She's Waiting... I could go on and on, but, I'll let you take your time and discover how good he really is on your own. Oh, and I checked off one of my bucket list items by being able to see him sitting in the 5th row in concert, on his Birthday, for my Birthday, back on March 30 1997. Next to my daughter's birth, it was the Best experience of my life.
Congrats on accomplishing that bucket list item. What a wonderful memory and even more special that it was combined birthday event. What a coincidence. Loved that you listed it just under the birth of your daughter! Must have been a great night!!
I saw him on his “Blues” tour in ‘94 or ‘95. Great concert 2nd only to Pink Floyd in 1994.
Oh my this song was a huge hit. Any place you went that had a band played this. The dance floor was always packed.
Thank you for doing this - and I am impressed that you know JJ Cale wrote it. I have and did read Eric Clapton's autobiography. Had a tough childhood.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I’ve seen mr Clapton like 5 different times he never disappoints
I sadly have seen concert in the 70’s when he did disappoint, quite a lot I have always been an admirer. But this night he really let his Audience down.
This song was HUGE back in my day. :)
Asia & BJ, his “After Midnight”, “Change The World” & “Forever Man” are next for you!!
Love “Forever Man”. Definitely later in his career, but still good. My only complaint is that it’s too short.
Extra points to Asia & BJ if they can name the back-up voice on Change the World
J.J. Cale recorded and released Cocaine in 1976 from his album Troubadour. It spent one week at no.1 in New Zealand. Eric Clapton's version was released as a single in 1977 from his album Slowhand which is also Clapton's nickname. It peaked at no.3 in Canada. Clapton also covered two other Cale songs called After Midnight and Same Old Blues. Cale was a talented artist who was one of the originators of the Tulsa Sound, a mixed genre of blues, rockabilly, country and jazz. Cale was highly influential and many recording artists, including Clapton, called him "one of the most important artists in the history of rock".
Eric Clapton is a great English rock & blues guitarist, singer & songwriter. He is considered one of the best guitarists in the world & has had a great career in music. He was with many great groups before going solo. The Yardbirds, John Mayall & the Bluesbreakers, Cream, Blind Faith, Derek & The Dominos. He has had a lot of solo hits such as "Layla", "I Shot The Sheriff", "Change The World", "My Father's Eyes", "Wonderful Tonight", "Lay Down Sally", "Tears In Heaven" etc.
So glad to see y'all getting deeper into Clapton. Go further... into his non mainstream.
My music tastes are very eclectic. But if I had to choose only one artist for the rest of my life, whatever's left of it, I'd have to choose Eric. Couldn't live without his guitar. And his blues is staggering. But all his stuff has a vibe that's heartfelt, yet raw.
Asia, BJ… Whoever thought a song about something so bad could & would turn out to be so good??? 👍😎
Its an anti-drug song...
@@davey3884 … I understand that, but I’m just basing my statement on the song title & not what the song is about. I, much like the song, am very anti-drugs myself & have always enjoyed listening to Eric’s music 👍😁👍
@@davey3884 I played this song this song all the time especially when I was throwing lines down. No one thought of it as an anti drug song. I mean really after working second shift and you’re ready to party cocaine.
@@davey3884 lol... Clapton says this, even though nothing in the lyrics suggest that this song is anti-drug.
Love this version better than the original.One thing you need to know about Eric is his fanatical love of the Blues above all other genre's.The only other artists whose obsession matches Claptons would be Keith Richards of Rolling Stones.
Stevie Ray Vaughn has to be added in this too.
@@peggiebradley7434 Indeed he does, right at the very top of the list.
Adding a few more that haven't been added to the comments. Don't know how Leon Russell wasn't mentioned. Doesn't get more bluesy than that. The Allman Brothers, Long John Baldry, Spencer Davis Group, Steve Winwood, who at age 14 was playing piano in English clubs for touring famous black American blues artists. There are so many more. Clapton & Richards are hardly the only artists who were heavily influenced by the blues and that incorporated it into their music. :)
JJ has more of a Jamaican vibe in his original.. I have to go with his as the best..
@@alanross2790 Amazing and humble is what he was. Deeply missed.
Wife here..Wow..Legendary Classic Rock here!!!...About the Guitar BJ ...his nick name was "Slow Hand"..Clapton was Obsessed with the Blues as he was from England and didn't have the opportunity to hear it there...Great Reaction!!!
This is an anti cocaine song.💯❤🔥
@First Last carry a fentanyl test kit. Never know when you first is gonna be your last.☠
Not when its played in a good setting
Clapton did a few covers while solo, this one is written by JJ Cale and he wrote "After Midnight" too, absolutely love Clapton's spin on them!!
Check out "I Shot the Sheriff" written by Bob Marley!! Then listen to Marley's original!! 👍🏽
Can't go wrong with Slowhand!! 🔥❤🥳
JJ Cale and Eric Clapton recorded an Album together as Clapton loved JJ Cale and recorded both Cocaine and After Midnight and had hits with both and both were written by Cale but the two had an Album they recorded together that had success among the Blues community in particular.
Clapton and Bob Seger weren't the absolute wildest vocalists but they were definitely some of the finest song writers
Sorry, I think Bob Seeger has one of the best voices. He has been referred to as the "The Voice" by many in the industry. Of course there are a couple others that have been tagged with that title through the years. Bruce Springsteen has stated "he is no Bob Seger". Of course, it's a matter of preference but I like my rock voices, deep and raspy! :)
Story time: about a decade back me and some friends went to our local pool hall for some games, ended up at the table closest to the women's restroom. As per the usual, I found myself at the juke box picking some songs while the others set up, with this being the first song I pick. All of a sudden I hear my friends burst out in laughter. Unbeknownst to me there was a table across the room with 4 girls who had been taking turns going into the ladies room to do bumps off the counter. Was definitely the highlight of the night
Another cover that EC did around the same time as this called Tulsa Time. It has the same country blues sound as this.
Teetering on 200K subs, congrats Asian and BJ, that is AWESOME!! Great song and reaction, Eric brings the blues hard for an Englishman!!
Thanks so much!!
If I I'm not mistaken, it was the English musicians who took American blues music and incorporated it into their "early" rock music and then brought it to America. From what I understand there wasn't much crossover in genres back during that time of segregation, etc. The American blues artists were performing in England and hiring English musicians as their touring bands. So there are many English musicians/bands that are influenced by the blues. :)
Live version from Just One Night. Guitar work is incredible. Many a night in seventies and early eighties listening to it;)
Ever notice that THIS cut NEVER got censored when it was que'd up on FM radio?....But, everything else DID?
J. J. Cale released this song on his album entitled “Troubadour” in 1976. ♥️✌🏼😎
Eric Clapton's love of music started with the Blues. Eric Clapton was the first lead guitarist in the Yardbirds. He is the guitarist on the Yardbirds first hit "For Your Love". The reason he left them was that he wanted to play the Blues Rock not Pop rock in July of 1965. Eric Clapton then played in a Group called John Mayall's & the Bluesbreakers. He left that group a year later to play in the group "Cream". By the way Rolling Stone Magazine has Eric Clapton as the #2 lead Rock Guitarist of their Top 100. With Jimmy Page at #3 and Jeff Beck at #5. The reason I added Jimmy and Jeff to this is because both had also been the lead Guitarist in the Yardbirds also.
JJ Cale wrote it, along with After Midnight, Call Me the Breeze, some other hits for others. I always liked JJ's originals better than the covers, but the covers made him $$. Cocaine is off JJ's Troubadour album, around 75 or 76, if you have some free time the whole album is a really great listen, great intro to JJ. The radio station where I grew up used to play JJ's Cocaine quite often, I thought it was minor hit, but maybe just our station?
I’ve been waiting for you guys to get to Clapton. You need to check him out. He’s without a doubt. Top 5 guitarists of all time 🔥
Almost 6m views in 5 hours??!!! Everyone loves this song.
Coming up on 200k! Congratulations!
Yes! Thank you!
JJ Cale released it on his album Troubadour 1976. Clapton recorded on his album SlowHand 1977
This is called Tulsa Blues, which was perfected by Tulsa's own JJ Cale. This song was put out by JJ Cale about 1975. JJ had that slightly behind the beat guitar playing style and his music is great! A whole raft of rock stars covered his music.
Eric Clapton said there was only one other guitarist he would want to be, and that was JJ Cale! Eric says he can play this style of blues "until the cows come home!"
You two just have to get into some authentic JJ Cale blues. There is literally nothing like it, though many, many have tried to copy him. JJ's "Naturally" album came out around 1972 and is a joy to hear to this day. Start off with "Call Me the Breeze" and then "Crazy Mama" and you will be nicely on your way! 🎸🎸🎸
OLD LOVE and WONDERFUL TONIGHT are excellent live... I believe it's The Madison Square Garden Concert in the 90's! Epic 🎊
My pick are the 24 Nights versions. 22 minutes of mmm mmm good
I'm 66 years-old now. When I hear this song it takes me back to '77, and bikin' down to Daytona on a chopped-down '47 Knucklehead, Half stoned, carrying a straight-razor, a .45, and two thirty-eights named Shannon and Raven (talk about your black-magic women). You're only young once, and if you do it right... once (or several times) will still give "warm' thoughts" when there's "snow on the roof" and a little still left in your sinus cavity. Later kiddies.
The live version is really good.
Yes, and I believe he did this great song with Stevie Winwood live too. What a wonderful partnership!
JJ call me the breeze kells😊
Eric Claptons solo in Born Under a Bad Sign when he was with the group Cream is a really tight blues riff!! Reaction, please n TY!
After Midnight should be next ! Eric Clapton cut himself in a guitar store once, took them a week to get all the blues out of the rug :) .Keep rocking guys !
Rock on!
Saw Clapton twice at the Pepsi Ctr in Denver. One of my favorite guitarist. Great concerts back in the day.
Cheers
This was big back in the day. Clapton is a legend on the guitar
Again no other human being inducted in the rock and roll hall of fame 3x. Only mr Eric Clapton
Clapton jammed with Duain Allman. So much to learn. JJ Cale wrote so many great songs. Try Some Blind Faith.
In 1986, there was an undercover cop at my suburban NJ high school. One morning, she arrested eighteen students with more than $100,000 of cocaine. There was a story in Newsweek (something about the real "21 Jump Street"). At our Prom, we had a DJ. I paid him $20 to pay this and "White Lines" by Grand Master Flash & Melle Mel. It was hysterical (and sad). God, I'm old.
Sounds like Danny Rose.
Eric Clapton actually has a great Blues album It's called from the cradle one of my favorites
I highly recommend checking out his Unplugged Album.
- Running On Faith
- Walkin' Blues
- Hey Hey
Co-signing. My 2nd favorite Old Love version
J.J. Cale wrote & recorded it in 1976. Eric Clapton released his version in 1977.
All of Eric Clapton's music is fantastic he did a song called Pilgram for the Lethal Weapon 4 soundtrack and the way he played the guitar on that was unforgettable
You gotta do COCAINE
Eric Clapton featuring
JJ Cale live at the Fillmore West
JJ Cale and Leon Russell were both Oklahoma natives, and there is a lengthy video of them on youtube located here: (4901) JJ Cale & Leon Russell at the Paradise Studios, LA 1979 - TH-cam
Clapton is an ICON!! JJ Cale was a great writer. Clapton is on a planet by himself. Please give him the respect he deserves. He doesn't demand acknowledgment. He is what he he is!
Got to see Clapton, Phil Collins and Mark Knopfler in concert in Dallas back in the day! OMG. And yes he did play cocaine that night.! It was amazing with a trio like that.
Thanks for reacting / reviewing this.
Y''all be safe.
It might be a cover but this is the definitive version imo.
Very much July 4th in the dark in the 70s. My childhood.
His “ Journeyman “ album from the 80s was one of this best albums of the decade
If not The Best!!!🔥🔥🔥
Absolutely ! Found a used cassette and fell in love with it. It was crucial to have albums with all good tracks back then, since it was so hard to skip bad songs on those tapes. “Old Love” has to be on my top ten list for sure.
@@thomascanfield9165 “old love “ on the live 24 nights is fantastic
@@johntremmel3949 That's a Great live album!!!
@@americanmutt9089 dvd is even better
I love the bass line in this song 🎸
My mom hung out with Eric and his old band. But had no idea he was a musician at the time. She didn’t believe them.
Brings back alot of memories!
"Dance the night away" by Cream is a great song with Eric Clapton playing lead guitar.
I saw Clapton/Elton John at Dodgers stadium around '91.
Don't forget, this song was released in a time when cocaine was considered a recreational drug that didn't hurt you.
Well, it was used recreationally but everyone knew it was illegal, and for good reason! Lots of people got thrown in jail for using and possessing it! People had to have their noses rebuilt, as it were, because it is like a sandblaster and will eat away the cartilage that separates one side of your nose from the other when you sniff it. Many people have died from cocaine overdoses, so everybody knew it would hurt you. Glenn Frey from the Eagles is rumoured to have had to have his nose rebuilt two times from abusing the stuff. So stay away from it. It ain't good for your health!!! 🤷♂😮👌
Clapton left nothing to the imagination referring to his love for Cocaine. He often wore a shirt during this period that said "No Blow, No Show". Even though he didn't write it, there's a reason he chose to play it, almost like a theme song.
Frog Leap Studios just put out a metal version of this...AMAZING!
Forever Man!!!!🎸😳
Great, but how about a reaction to the guitarist that beat Clapton, Hendrix and Beck in 1972 for the title of International Guitarist of the Year (Melody Maker), the Irish wizard Rory Gallagher? I'd suggest "Do You Read Me?" from Rock Goes to College 1979 as a place to start with his amazing catalog.
I have always loved this song.. lived it a little while, but no longer.. still love the song.. xo
lol....the 70's were great!
@@jefflast9489 - so were the 80s and beyond.. there is always something to appreciate in every decade.. I know right now we have to look awfully hard, but its there! Never give up, peace and joy are still available!!! xo
I have good & bad memories of those times. You can't get it back ! America was flooded
with the stuff then. I am blessed to have stopped all those days & am alive. Thanks, I think.
Classic!
JJ Cale wrote it but did not perform it. This is the first original version.
I've never done cocaine even once, but I have heard this song a million times. Clapton is a rock GOD!
My brother comes to mind when I hear this.. just love Clapton.. the guitar playing.. and especially my bro!!!❤️🔥🎸🥰 such great music 🎶🎵
Thanks for listening Donna!!
Check out some of Claptons Crossroads videos!
There ya go!
Waylon Jennings- "Don't you think this outlaw bits done got outta hand"
Johnny Paycheck- "The cocaine train"
Hank Jr- "O'D in Denver"
Waylon Jennings -" Lookin for a feelin"
David Allen Coe- "Cocaine Carolina"
are all great cocaine songs. pick any one and give it a listen.
Great tune! Love me some Eric Clapton! I think my favorite is his cover of I shot the sheriff.
It took many years of hearing this song to realize that JJ Cale meant the opposite of what it seems to say. Then, it finally made sense.
Live at the Albert Hall, is a fantastic version
JJ Cale tune, also wrote 'Call Me the Breeze', which Lynyrd Skynyrd had a hot with. You should do both versions, Cale with a breezy laid back version and LS with a more free spirited version.
You guys are awesome
"Don't forget this fact
, you can't get it back" is the key to understanding the song..
Never used but got the feeling
J.J.Cale released the song in 1976 and Eric Clapton covered it just one year later. EC was addicted to heroin for many years I´m not sure if he still was when he did this.
This is the song that mostly inspired me to start playing guitar 24 years ago.
@justthefactsmaam Well, maybe that too lol
YEAH GUYS, THIS WAS FROM HIS MULTI PLATINUM 76 ALBUM ( SLOWHAND ) :) HE ALSO DID RECORD AN ALBUM WITH JJ CALE SO :)
There is some wisdom, and experience, in the lyrics.
Cocaine by J.J. Cale was released in 1977, BJ
Bass and drums are so tight by being so loose on this track!
The 80’s were amazing. ❤ she don’t lie
listen to Derek and the Domino's " layla and other assorted love songs" you will find blues , great slide playing by the late Duane Allman ,there is even a Hendrix cover.
takes me back
Yup!....
Cheers
🍄🌲🍄💥
This song is younger on cheek..it's gloryfing the ups of cocaine.
Yet other lyrics tell the after effects of Coke. recorded in 70s..a very difficult time for Eric .. crippled by addiction..yet in your spare time catch any love performance of this song from year 2000 on up.
He adds an answer back..when he say s Cocaine..
Cocaine...DIRTY Cocaine!
Brilliant song.
My go to cocaine song has to be Black Sabbath - Snowblind " ...feeling happy in my brain"
Y’all need to listen to the just one night album version live . Best version ever , head and tails above this one
Cocaine was so huge in the 80s. There was a song “White Lines” by Grandmaster Flash that was very popular.
Sir Eric Clapton is the truth. Great reaction and share!!🤠🤓
Watching Asia and BJ is even educational, I always thought this was Eric Clapton's song.
I heard a radio interview years ago where he said what he liked about the song was the fact that it is lyrically ambiguous. You cannot tell if it is a pro or anti drug song.
You would be surprised how much this song would motivate me.
"Cocaine" is a song written and recorded in 1976 by singer-songwriter J. J. Cale. The song was popularized by Eric Clapton in 1977
BJ, Clapton does not give a "bluesy" effect, he IS primarily a blues style guitarist. 😇🤓✌️
My theme song from 85 to 90. National Anthem. Makes me all sneezy, now.
If u want to get down on the ground.. cocaine. Love this song by Clapton
