RIP JJ Cale
« on: July 27, 2013, 11:46:52 AM »
This is somewhat MK related, since JJ has always been mentioned as one of MK's bigger rolemodels...

Sadly JJ Cale has passed away according to his Facebook-page...  :'(

R.I.P.

There should be a documentary of this legendary guitar hero with MK featured on.

RIP in a Cajun Heaven. J.J.

I've been under a spell
I ain't been feelin' well
I've been in a shell, and that's true
Dealin' with a curse
But it couldn't be worse
I've been one step ahead of the blues
One step ahead of the blues

                             JJ Cale
Leaving nothing to interfere,
With the crazy balance of your mind.

I remember seeing 'To Tulsa and Back' -  an on tour/lifetime achievment documentary about J.J.

It was nothing but pure greatness!

They did mention Mark and Clapton once in the same sentence as being known to have J.J. as major influences.

But without MK on.  A pity that two legendary guitar heros' live recordings haven't see the light of day by now.  Anyone could tell me how many times they two performed or recorded together?

I still remember watching a show of him in 70s and his performance blew me away with a very peaceful way.

We only saw a pic of them two sharing on the same stage or maybe at the back stage.  Anyone has that pic by hand and is willing to upload it here?  I'm using mobile now.

What a sad news  :'(
The most underrated guitarist and songwriter ever.
I discovered him late  around 1987. I was looking for a Knopfler-style guitarist and tried #8. 
Every JJ Cale tune sounds the same effortless gem. It sounds the same and sounds different. Nobody can reproduce his magical touch.

I think 1988, on the pic someone wrote -JJ Cale 1988-. (Maybe JJ Cale wrote it)
