R.I.P., J.J. Cale

Post by Tiki Torches »

A man to whom Knopfler, Skynyrd and Clapton where hugely indebted. Always preferred Cale's version of "Cocaine" to Clapton's though I surely never would have heard it if not for Clapton covering it.

When you find yourself with an extra 3:27 be sure to take a look at this animated clip by artist Drew Christie that appeared on The New York Times website yesterday. It says more about JJ Cale and the state of the music industry (past and present) than I could ever hope to convey.
