Seems like a lot of people ripped off JJ Kale. He could’ve should’ve had a better lawyer. Breaks my heart.

JJ Cale was the king of cool. I was told that when he, JJ first heard on his car radio, Eric Clapton doing After Midnight that he went right out and got himself a new chev. Anyway, that what I was told.

There was always something about him that reminded me of Merle Haggard. Two enormously talented, hugely influential and thoroughly original guitarist/songwriters. Troubadour had a huge impact on me when I first heard it in England in 1979 (a little late to the party I know but I got there). There was so much other great new music around then but when JJ Cale’s turn came anround everybody stopped in their tracks asking themselves “what’s that”? That’s the Tulsa sound!

Had a guitar player in our band who loved JJ and wanted to play his songs like he played them, not as how other bands covered them. I's say JJ's songs covered by others are far superior as to how he recorded them for himself. Seems like a strange dude but penned some good songs.

Thanks much for putting this together. I grew up in OKC and wasn’t aware that he was born there. I did know he lived in Tulsa and thought that’s where he passed on.

Thanks for watching! Hope you enjoy his music as much as I do. Gone too soon.

JSYK Christine Lakeland was playing with JJ the first time I saw him at PB Scotts in Blowing Rock, NC January of 1977.

Interesting, I got the info I put in the video from his own biography. Thanks for updating me.

[@richeaton5752]

@@discoverthis A little red faced. I have apologies to make. I must be remembering wrong. Must have been Charlotte when I saw Christine with him. Tripped over this last night.
