Because J.J. Cale shunned showbiz and lived like a recluse on his ranch in California, he remained an elusive figure to the general public. Nevertheless, his classic albums, such as Okie and Naturally, can be found in most Dutch record collections. When the J.J. Cale Appreciation Society plays, you realize just how many of his songs you were already familiar with without knowing it.Apart from hits like ‘After Midnight,’ ‘Cocaine,’ ‘Call Me the Breeze,’ and ‘Crazy Mama,’ J.J. Cale wrote an entire oeuvre of deceptively simple songs that you’ve probably heard countless times before — late at night visiting friends, with a beer in hand at the neighborhood bar, or driving home at night with a local radio station playing.Wonderfully grooving music, sung with delightful nonchalance, but always performed by the finest musicians that America had to offer during the golden age of pop music (the late ’60s and ’70s).
