Crazy Momma is one of my favorite songs to play.

Sad that his alleged website reports on his passing:

RIP, JJ.

One of the few, perhaps the only, popular musician I have every album of.

A quintessential disc for Cale...

J.J. Cale
Special Edition

Review by William Ruhlmann

Sinuous rhythms, conversational singing, and, most of all, intricate, bluesy guitar playing characterize Cale’s performances of his own songs. This compilation, covering 11 years of recording, includes the songs Eric Clapton, who borrowed heavily from Cale’s style in his 1970s solo work, made famous: “After Midnight” and “Cocaine.”

It doesn’t pay to know Eric Clapton.

RIP. I preferred Clapton’s revised version of “After Midnight” released for the beer ad.

Love his version of “Cocaine” - the quintessential version, as far as I’m concerned, even though it extols the virtues of using cocaine:

“If you got that lose, you want to kick them blues, cocaine
When your day is done, and you want to ride on cocaine”

“She don’t lie, She don’t lie, She don’t lie!”
“Cocaine!”

First heard of JJ when I was in Holland in the 70s and just this week I found Road to Escondido with him and Clapton together.

I never really knew the guy except for the Top 40 hit Crazy Mama in 1972. I haven't listened to that in decades...good memories.
