Cale

The early years

I've been out walking a lot, so loaded up an iPad with my old music library, which runs about 5,000 songs.  Of those, 99 are by J.J. Cale.  These have gotten considerable play.  I am really appreciating this music:  it is so detailed, and the guitar work is just strikingly good.  Here are some deeper cuts to consider:

• No Time
• People Lie
• I Wish I Had Me a Dollar (live)
• Low Down Dirty Shame
• I Got the Same Old Blues

Along the way I added some Mose Allison to the playlist because it seemed to fit.  Now I read (interview linked below) that Cale really liked Mose Allison.  Not shocked at all.
