Post by: straitsway75 on April 28, 2019, 05:15:46 PM
Hi Amiters,
In these days of MK's music there'is also the new album by J.J.
Stay Around is a very great album, words not can explain, only what I can say is that I LOVE IT.
All tracks are wonderful but Lights down low-Chasing you-Stay around-Winter snow(remeber me marlbletown)-Go downtown (mk or jj?)-and all others  :P :P :P :P
I think that is on MK's playlist  ;)
 :thumbsup

Listened yesterday

Very nice album. Usually i am very critical with compillation albums, specially with those ones made of outakes. I think that if one song is not launched since the beginning, must be some reasons.

However, i enjoyed it to much. There are a main sound that i like much in JJ Cale, the Garage-style sound without so much arrangements. I love this kind of naked songs, like demos. Also i like the "soft" approaching of the naif and chiché lyrics kind of "my baby left me oh i´m feeling bad" or "I´m going to downtown yeah rock and roll"... Well, you know what i mean. Shuffles are great, the type of rhmth that a JJ fan search in his music. I use to say that if JJ played Heavy Metal, his music still would sound soft and not aggresive. About the solos, all are excellent. Even i have discovered a couple of new favourites. The nostalgic feeling is also strong in this one, because is nedless to say that it won´t be another JJ album.

Honestly, i think that this album is much better than some of his pevious albums, specially the ones in the late eighties and nineties. Just my 2 cents.

Fantastic album!

Classic Cale where everything is so pleasantly well embedded deep into the mix.

Lots of new favourites. I've been waiting for this gem since they posted it on his FB site.
