I'm 100 and been listening to JJ since 49

I remember, in college in the 70’s, some of us discovering the album “Naturally”. Everyone of us had different tastes in music, but all agreed that this album, and artist, was just wonderful. And that is still the case today.

Now I know why Waylon Jennings sang "JJ Cale is a hero, the best I've ever heard. Ya gotta sing a little louder Hoss, I can't hear the words. Some folks call him rock and roll, some folks call it blues. But I detect a country soul and I've seen his cowboy shoes".

My dad was raised in Tulsa Oklahoma back in JJ's time. He told me stories are going to the honky-tonks listen to him drinking beer. I was raised listening to his music it's timeless. I'm 60 years old now. I miss the passing of both men very much. Fond memories of my dad listening to this music. Thank you for sharing the new JJ album much appreciated 👍

A true musician for passion, not for fame and money. Which he got additionally and much deserved it, I hardly know any music more soothing and heartwarming.

I never get tired listen on and on and on to the the great J.J. Cale, may his soul rest in peace⚘

The music of JJ. Cale takes me back to a special person with whom we listened it day and night. In a few days I will meet that special person again after 35 years of absence. I think we will still listen to JJ.

One great thing about being old is that I spent my entire life from the age of 22 listening to JJ Cale. I turned 69 yesterday, and this album made my Birthday even better.

When I get sick and tired of all the media and music, I turn it off and put on J.J. Cale for hours. It soothes me.

JJ Cale was a true original, perhaps the most talented and creative musician that most people never knew about except through the recordings of more well-known musicians like Eric Clapton, Jerry Garcia, John Mayer, Jeff Beck , Mark Knopfler and Neil Young. His music is timeless and never ceases to astound me.

Such a sweet man, he restores my faith in men generally, you've gotta love him for a feat such as that! :) I got into his music in the eighties, I'm so thankful for it; Troubadour was my favourite up until this one, which is Mmmmmmmm! Thank you people that put it together and bought it to me!

Absolutely...a underrated musician,composer guitartist and in my view deserves to be up there....and a genius who comes once in a 100 years ..yet Justin Bieber concerts are full..kids don't know real men and music..these days ..glad I discovered all 60 to 70 years old s here I am 65...and an Indian who loved this genre of music from.my college days

Quickly bought almost all his albums. I had no idea he wrote much of the music I listened to. Call me the breeze by Leonard Skynyrd, Clapton's covers, Neil Young and others. Then he passed a couple years later. Clapton and Friends - Call Me the Breeze album is well worn here. So grateful for his music. I can relate to all of your comments. Looking at 60 next month.... I'll spend part of it listening to JJ.

I grew up listening to Clapton, I am 60now. Cocaine is still one of my guitar jams, I never knew who this mysterious jj cale was. Not until crossroads music festivals. I never knew he had a successful band, till about 40. He should have been more recognized sooner, love his approach with his almost effortless style

I stumbled upon this album and played it over and over and over what a sad loss . The music words sounds just take you away . Am going to play it again now . Thank you JJ

Too bad JJ Cale passed away. He was one of the best sing and songwriters in North America.

Happy Birthday to the man - miss you, your style, your voice, your music lives on x

Speaking like a non bias style man from Oklahoma it is unbelievable how our Great State inspired Mr. Cale plus Hundreds more throughout the years. He was a Legend in his own skin without a damn thingvever given to him. He earned every pennyvhe ever made! Not many like him anymore, unfortunately.

I can't believe how i didn't latch onto J.J. Cale back in prime time. I guess I was too much into Skynyrd the Allmans Aerosmith and Hawkwind back then. Oh well better late than never I guess but this is almost never. I have to thank Lynyrd Skynyrd for my intro to J.J .Cale through their cover of Call Me The Breeze which I first heard on the live album One More For The Road. Thank You and God Bless all the Skynyrd boys and girls who have departed this god for saken world . I have no doubt that we will have a really fine time in Heaven when it is all said and done. If the Skynyrd boys and girls were God's childern well that tells me God is saying we should all rock on when when we get together up yonder. Love and Peace to y'all. Amor y Paz. Siempre !!!!!!!

Yup he had a degree in music engineering. And he tore his guitars apart and made them sound like he wanted them to.

One of the great things about j.j. is that he sings the verse and doesn't hardly ever repeat it and then the song is over, on to the next one.... Much respect for the widespreadpanic, they're a jam band and they were molded from j.j. and all good 🤔⚖️ I just sometimes wish they would stop and start their new song without another 20 minutes of jamming.... And they are awesome this is only a compliment to j.j. Cale
