JJ Cale dead at 74

[TastesLikeChicken]

Some may not recognize the name but he wrote some great songs like Cocaine, After Midnight, and They Call Me The Breeze that were turned into hits by other musicians. I always like his version of After Midnight better than Clapton's. It had an understated elegance and moodiness that Clapton's lacked.

I liked JJ Cale. I have several of his albums.

Here's a private concert from KFOG back in 2002.
