Amazing . Yes it is possible Dino to miss someone, a friend in deed you never met. Thanks Big I am ordering the JJ Cale digital loads. He is as you said in the past one of the great American song writer, story tellers of the late 20th century. His music will live on.
Benny
No J.J. Cale list would be complete without 'Thirteen Days' from 1979's '5', in my humble opinion. Thanks for a great set, Big Al.
Hello Benny,
thank you. Make sure to save this Rockcast. Not only that Big AL really did it again, Katy Cool Lady didn't show up on the CD version of 5 and I don't know if it's on digital downloads. Not his best song, maybe not essential, but a big pain if you don't have it. And I agree on Thirteen Days, migrant worker on the road, he really knew what he was singing about with this one. And there are more good songs, but if the man played my essential Cale, that would be the first six hour Rockcast. Anybody but say three or four people in the Rockcast audience would be sound asleep halfway through.
Funny thing, when I read that donations should go to your favourite local animal shelter, it made me think of Old Blue. I always wondered if Blue was that harmony singing dog from Clyde with the tambourine tied to his tail. That line always made me smile. That picture comes up, every time I hear the name Cale, even if it's John Cale. Cruelty to the dog in real life, I know, but the picture is simply great.
Hey and for those with the vinyl version of Okie and big bad old stereo speakers (and no fancy subwoofer dwarf stuff): Fire up the amp and play Crying really loud. It doesn't really seem to get louder, but notice the cups dance on the shelves. And it's the only song in which you hear J.J. laugh out loud. That's because he knew that if you don't turn it down fast the neighbors will soon have pitchforks and torches ready.
Dino
I agree with you Bitter, I could of gone on for a couple more hours.
