Review: Often copied, but successfully? When it comes to J. J. Cale, this question could well be answered with an emphatic 'yes' – were it not for the equally talented Johnny Cash, John Mayall and Deep Purple, who all contributed to the well-earned recognition of Cale’s genial songs. Even the smash hit "Cocaine" was written by Cale, although it is closely identified with Eric Clapton – Cale’s name fading into oblivion in comparison. The present recording gives one an idea of how one of the most covered composer’s music originally sounded. Cale lends the mixture of styles – blues, rockabilly and country – his highly individual, understated and succint art of song. He is frequently characterized as being 'laid back', likes to sing slightly off-beat, and is accompanied by a well-equipped band which creates an ultra-cool sound. Cale is particularly committed to giving his songs sophisticated instrumentation, he doesn’t produce a new record for the market all too often, and is well-known for his dislike of stardeom. What better reasons to bring up from the annals this undercover artist’s debut album, polish it up and just enjoy the music.
