A humble master.. he was the breeze.!

He wasn't more well-known to this day than he is simply because he chose that life. He didn't care to be in the spotlight. If he could have chosen he'd be a guitar player in a band and not in the spotlight. The fact that he barely ever promoted any released albums or tours shows it's a testament to the music and he didn't care about being a famous rock 'n roll has been. He just wanted to play his music and survive off of that and there is absolutely nothing wrong with such a fantastic effortless attitude.

JJ Cale looked effortless. He lightly dabbed the guitar strings and generated awesome licks. A musician's musician.
-
Great songwriter, tasteful guitarist, understated singer, but above all things JJ was sane. He stayed free of the dark machinery of music business stardom and did his unique thing.

Lucky for me I was born in Australia, and over here, we appreciated J J Cale right from the moment we first heard him.
-
JJ was the epitome of the unsung musical hero genious. Pure brilliance.
-
Patsy you should do more. Excellent
-
Can't believe I am listening to this 7 years later! JJ Cale absolute legend!
-
J.J.Cale in one word - Great!
-
I love Christine Lakeland for being J.J.'s constant muse, love, and inspiration.
-
Props to Eric for his tribute album with his friends of JJ. Eric's a standup dude for sure He really cared about JJ and his contribution to the music world. R.I.P. JJ. Cappy

Have been a fan of his since I was 22 and having my first child. I’m 69 now... still love this music.
-
had the pleasure to have seen JJ Cale play in Dublin in around 1975. most laid back gig ever. no support act, no announcer, JJ just walked on, plugged in, sat on a stool and started played. Still remember it vividly to this day. Had never heard him before, but my love affair started then. This is a fitting tribute to the man and his music.
-
This is just too good...I could listen to him all night, and then again all day tomorrow.
-

Thank you Eric Clapton for introducing this humble artist,JJ Cale, to the World...Bravo Patsy.
-
I think this a tremendous compliment to a guy who never pursued them. His music is here forever for those of us who can sing every word of every song he ever recorded.
-
Bless the memory of JJ Cale. He was so so good.
-
I think I got to know how Mark Knopfler started playing the way he does! Never heard anyone else like JJ Cale, unheard of, genius!
-
Heard Tom Petty and JJ Cale sing JJ's "I want to love you baby, etc" and then listened to JJ's other songs. Truly a master musician one that I'm so glad I found. It's so amazing how so many great musicians/songwriters we never hear about but only find by accident.
