Neue/alte JJ Cale CD

[EricsBadge]

Gefunden/Gesehen bei Glitterhouse. Teil der Beschreibung: Eric Clapton went on to record many of J.J's finest numbers, and when asked one time who his favourite person was, Mr. Cale was the individual Mr. Clapton told us, for him, fitted this exclusive category best. Cale was not just a marvellous writer and performer; by all accounts he was one of the nicest people you could ever wish to meet. This 1988 radio broadcast, transmitted live from the Fine Line Music Cafe, Minneapolis, Minnesota, on 5th September that year, finds J.J. in spectacular form. Despite, at this time, not having released a studio album for five years, he performs a rip-roaring set complete with full band and shares vocals on a number of tracks with veteran Cale band member Christine Lakeland. A musician and songwriter in her own name too, Christine gets to perform three of her own compositions during the show not bad when one considers what a rich back catalogue J.J. already had by this juncture. But then Ms. Lakeland was Mr. Cale's long term partner, and more recently, his wife. The set-list played on this glorious late summer evening features many of the Cale classics mentioned above and a host of others to make for a show of barely paralleled excellence. However, three bonus cuts are included here, going back to a previous radio broadcast from the mid-1970s when treading the boards at the Cain s ballroom in his home town of Tulsa on New Year's Eve 1975 J.J. Cale performed, amongst a full set that night too, remarkable versions of Cajun Moon, Sensitive Kind and Lies.
