About this Artist

Editorial Reviews

J.J. Cale's debut album, Naturally, was recorded after Eric Clapton made "After Midnight" a huge success. Instead of following Slowhand's cue and constructing a slick blues-rock album, Cale recruited a number of his Oklahoma friends and made a laid-back country-rock record that firmly established his distinctive, relaxed style. Cale included a new version of "After Midnight" on the album, but the true meat of the record lay in songs like "Crazy Mama," which became a hit single, and "Call Me the Breeze," which Lynyrd Skynyrd later covered. On these songs and many others on Naturally, Cale effortlessly captured a lazy, rolling boogie that contradicted all the commercial styles of boogie, blues, and country-rock at the time. Where his contemporaries concentrated on solos, Cale worked the song and its rhythm, and the result was a pleasant, engaging album that was in no danger of raising anybody's temperature.

May 15, 2000: Wonderful, soulful album. Written and performed with feeling and deep intensity. The songs are performed the way J.J. Cale first heard them in his mind. It is always interesting to hear the difference between how the writer of songs hears and plays them and how other artists who cover them do it. I've owned the vinyl album since it's first release. This is one of those albums you listen to in a darkened room with your eyes closed. It's the GOOD stuff!
