Oh - that is sad news! I always liked JJ Cale - a man so "laid back", he was nearly horizontal.

Well, that's decided what I shall be playing today: 'Troubadour' and '5'.

Good choice of clips Dan.

RIP JJ

Bad, bad news.
J.J. Cale was.....well....he just was.

End Of The Line
Trains don't run forever
Fire goes out sometime
Gotta tell you, baby
We've come to the end of the line
Pages of yesterday
Fill this book of mine
Gotta tell you, baby
It is the end of the line
I can't remember those good old days
They are from a different time
I gotta tell you, baby
We've come to the end of the line

If you feel like you need some of his music in your collection, there's one of those great 5 CD box sets available: (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Classic-Album-Selection-J-J-Cale/dp/B00B8XC2O0/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1374960210&sr=8-4&keywords=jj+cale)
'Naturally' (1972), 'Troubadour' (1976), 'Shades' (1981), 'Grasshopper' (1982) and '#8' (1983)

How can you go wrong for 13 quid? 'Troubadour' alone is worth twice that price!

Sad news.... only played Call Me The Breeze earlier today.

Sad news. I have 5 of his albums. The first of which I bought (grasshopper) when I was a young man of 20 in 1982.

You can't and you shouldn't!

'Troubadour' is worth it alone simply for the track 'Cocaine'. Can you follow all three guitar tracks? Linn's PRaT? Phah! - most of us were there years ago. :scratch:

Very sad news indeed, 74 is no age to depart. I was very saddened to learn about James Gandalfini dying and this is equally sad - we are losing some true icons at the moment :(
