R.I.P. JJ Cale

jjcalepicJJ Cale has passed away at the age of 74. In addition to writing hits for Eric Clapton and Lynyrd Skynyrd (After Midnight, Cocaine, Call Me The Breeze) Cale had a recording career of his own that began with 1971’s Naturally, an album that spawned his only hit, Crazy Mama. But Cale’s music wasn’t about making hits, it was about laying down a groove and communicating with words and music. He will be missed.
