A real awesome song by the real master, J.J. Cale.
I've tried to upload the song with the sound quality as high as possible, because that's all it's about, very relaxing music and quality from heaven or better, enjoy
Never tire of JJ, love his music more and more, great cruisin’ music, what a talented cool cat, RIP we all love JJ.
undefinable eternal magical brilliance ... Merci JJ !!!
Being from Santa Cruz, you know I love this. Jj got me through hard times.
For me too
Spirit power live, thank you
An old friend of mine in the 80's use to say that JJ's was hypotensive (low-blood-pressure) rock 'n' roll. which swings like mad! Rest in musical heaven JJ!
Oh, I LIKE that definition - spot on! :)
laid back rockabilly blues..
There's only one thing really rare in jj and it's a bad song in his portfolio.
Throw your blood pressure tablets away .Take the Cale audio prescription it’s been tried and tested by some of the best musicians in the business!
@@alexdebuaoh yesss.. classy repertoire
J.J. Cale was a man of his own.... man his music is addicting and after a 25-year break coming back to the guitar he was there.
Love it and why can't THEY release all of his rare and hard to find songs on a cd/vinyl??? Please God I pray for a disc of rarities and bootlegs and unpublished material-
JJ is (was) the best of the best, if you listen to him, you find all the great musicans in his music
well beyond bloody brilliant for eternity !!!
When I first heard Crazy Mama in the early seventies I was sold on that sound. He was one Cool Cat🕶RIP Man🎼
And this song is great, I never heard of it and I live in Santa Cruz ✌🏼
Same here I heard Magnolia in the early seventies and was hooked. Great music.
As a Nepali was engineering student in college days, heard first time walking down on hostel corridor ..Since then till today, JJ is everyday part of life....May Lord Shiva give him Moksxa.
He paved the way -- his mellow sound is his own.
It was rare. No more. 1:23
I miss this guy everyday, and am so grateful to him for sharing his music with us.
Thanks for posting this gem.
MasalaiMeri a few of us really miss JJ is music lives on
Definitely sounds like a bad night at the Catalyst, spent many nights there. I grew up in Santa Cruz, wish I'd never left. Miss the beaches, the redwoods, the memories.
You're gone JJ but your songs will remain for ever with us. May your soul rest in peace⚘
One my most favorites! Thank you J.J. Cale!
The man of the times. Still.
Oo-wee how did I lose
Talkin' about a night in Santa Cruz
Oo-wee how did I lose
Talkin' about a night in Santa Cruz
Well I came to coast from L.A.
Just to give a little music to boo me away
Hey J.J. can you play Cocaine
Do After Midnight it's all the same
Oo-wee how did I lose
Talkin' about a night in Santa Cruz
Oo-wee how did I lose
I'll tell you about the night in Santa Cruz
Well we didn't play long it booed too soon
I can't do right no matter what you do
A girl in the crowd, at the finale
Shouted at me had I even turned
Another man left 'cause he didn't stay long
I thought we had played his favorite song
Hey you, pull that weight
A soon as it's cleaned up then I'll fade away
My friends and I hope you're glad to see
Me and friends coming off the street
Play, Richard
I don't mean a man can't lose
Just stay by the night in Santa Cruz
Just stay by the night in Santa Cruz
I don't mean a man can't lose
Will be missed by many blues listeners,RIP J J Cale.
I love his style which is so chill and mellow. I'd love to go to SF Bay Area and just ride up the coast a few days. I love the wine country, Carmel and Pebble Beach. That would be so relaxing (if you're with the right someone) and romantic!
Why didn’t this guy get more recognition? Reach Superstardom? I just recently got turned on to his music, his style and his vibe. I missed the (JJ) boat growing up in LA on classic rock - Zep, Floyd, Stones etc. I feel bad I missed that early boat but I’m glad I caught the late “cruise”....Thanks JJ and RIP
He didn't want to.
So much music was being released back then.❤
What hornofgabriel said is literally true. Cale preferred to be invisible. He also was extremely professional - and when out on tour, doing shows, a pain to work with. But his music - oh my! And compared to others with far less ability and talent are even worse to work with, that's a fact yeah (sorry for citing Trouble In The City) (; Still, he did his best work in the studio, in part because he was not only a brilliant musician, but also a very gifted sound tech, engineer and backliner
he was humble and craved the simple life
Walked out on the Dick Clark Show when they wanted him and his band to lip sync. It would have been a huge boost to his career, but he told them to stuff it, packed up their gear and left.
My all time favourite musical hero ♡
The pix in the video are from perhaps high plains, here in Santa Cruz we have micro-climates! It's a mixed bag, yet to be sure many a panorama where the mountains kiss the sea, here where the bay is deep, the folks quiet as uh-sheep, often rowdy enough to party. My sons 1st concert was actually JJ at a backyard party. Kinda easy going here, meet a lotta folks that way, some known, some anonymously regional characters and some, such as myself, only in it for the trails, I go slow, I go fast, on the tracks and off the rails, been all over this world, and always love it when the pilots dip a wing so I can see my own place, there at the end of B-40, up against Sunset Park, where I sit up in the morning, see the boardwalk rides, love those screams of joy, view the ocean, calm or riled, this town is its child, origins as a fishing village, now has so many claims to underground fame, I go to deepest India, and meet many who love this place. CA is a gorgeous region, governance aside... with some educated voting and activism we will fix it back to being the Golden State. We party here, with rockers, ragga, blues men, all kinds of players, from modern to "remember when", such as holding onto what was once golden. It still is such, under the mold and rust. Though my boy thought JJ was a bit grouchy, it is because Christine could not make it with him and he kept hearing his own music make others money and play. A big bunch of us wrote to Clapton and a few months later, EC toured with JJ, maybe coincidence, yet the 2 made good friends, great music and JJ ( as EC has done for so many) got a real boost in his status as being one of the top musicians / writers of Americana... overdue, and truly happy that he is now so much more appreciated. Miss the man, his music, yet have all these CDs and playlists, so JJ Cale does shine on... with best regards from Santa Cruz!
another mini chapter in volumes of JJ Brilliance ... nearly indefinable, certainly timeless !!!
I'm about 60 been grooving with JJ since I was twelve. Real guitar real songs with depth and the perfect smoking music to party or unwind with. He will always be awesome!!!
I've met Eric Clapton and shook his hand! and that is the closest i'll ever get to connect to JJ CALE! I am happy all the same!!
JJ influenced some of the best! ❤
So much fantasy in such a simple melody. Really is music for the club of the Gods.
А время течёт и видоизменяется,это же космос да и музыка на высоте, браво.
I call him Old Smoothie..I am so in love with this cat. :)
I had to look up the lyrics....
Oo-wee how did I lose
Talkin' about a night in Santa Cruz
Oo-wee how did I lose
Talkin' about a night in Santa Cruz
Well I came to coast from L.A.
Just to give a little music to boo me away
Hey J.J. can you play Cocaine
Do After Midnight it's all the same
Oo-wee how did I lose
Talkin' about a night in Santa Cruz
Oo-wee how did I lose
I'll tell you about the night in Santa Cruz
Well we didn't play long it booed too soon
I can't do right no matter what you do
A girl in the crowd, at the finale

Good music, good guitar, good songs... in one word : JJ Cale
Discovered his music when I was a teen in 89, since then he's always along the way.
Would like to say THANKS for all the good times spent listening to this humble Legend.
Love the imagery you've put up for the track. Nice little journey indeed. Thanks.
I love jj cale so much, that sound omg
This song is beautiful
This is very soothing and easy listening J J Cale is excellent love him ❤❤❤
I only got introduced to JJ's music a few years ago and do believe he's got to be one of the most underrated of them all. What a guy! RIP JJ, your music will live on.
Like the song says...I think JJ was always ..livin on Tulsa time...❤️❤️🇨🇦Canadians luv JJ
Not only Canadians love JJ s music, i am Portuguese
I am 55 ,i was 16 the first time i heard JJ,never forget
The king of laid back rock:)
J.J.Cale,é um desses artistas completos,cujo olhar sensível,abrange as mais variadas paisagens da vida cotidiana,com apurado senso artístico e poético.É um mestre!

Most underrated!

Well said!
no doubt
Thank you. JJ is buddhist monk among other guitar players. Such a sensitivity and smooth, unladen minimalism
Just found JJ Cale, really enjoy his music, thanks for the upload.
Cruz'in along with JJ Cale is still out there on the sandy trails, Just Listen
This came on and I thought "What's this ?". Thanks, whoever, for putting this up!
Never ever heard about this one.
+James P. Connolly I found this on a dutch 3 disc compilation called J.J. Collected
Wow. What a song and such a fine sound quality. Thanks.
"a real master" is right ! JJ is second to none in my book ! The best . thanks for the uploads much appreciated
Brilliant JJ 🎵
Nicely put together. Anything Cale is some of the best stuff you could every hear. If people knew that some of their "favorite" music was written by him they'd still be scratchin' their head. I'm surprised by how many people have never heard of him, yet probably have one of his songs stuck in their head allot of the time. :-p
J. J. Cale. Genius.
Thanks for this ! The sound is actually good ! I'm listening to this on my laptop and I can accurately follow the bassline. Great song by one of the greatest musicians ever !
musical master. rock on forever ...
Genius J.J. True. Hip. Country.
I'm loving this song, music and all. You know, you can play that guitar.
super music!! Cale forever!!
got my first jj cale vinyl in 1974. glad that he got to jam with clapton before he passed. He sure made clapton a lot of money with call me the breeze and cocaine.
Mind Blowing! and superb Pictures! Thanks!
MickB'
Nice pix, too. Thanks.
Like the video alot. Love the music. JJs my favorite guitarist-tulsa sound
He is so laid back my flatmates used to listen to him, Ry Cooder, Bob Dylan Eric Clapton and many more while we nodded to sleep.
Mountain bike i wish to get , the name and the song fit the description very well...love his songs they fit well with my ride on the hills
This is why music is my religion.
"Music is my religion." - Jimii Hendrix.
Easy going Beats ...Love it...
Just great! I I didn't know very well this singer and musician! thanks!
absolutely fabulous!
A superative piece of music, illustrated by fantastic images ❤
Thank you for uploading this, new to me, great video, JJ lives
Hello Mr. Dejavu spelled backwards; I very much enjoyed your HQ recording. Thank you very much for sharing another JJ masterpiece !!!!!
I started listening to JJ back in '73 while getting ripped off playing poker with a bunch of "table-talking" aquaintences introduced to me by a friend. I was so green to the game I didn't know I was entitled to tell them to shut the fuck up AND take my money back; but the intro to JJ was worth the price of admission. Thanks for the intro to the new tracks.
AY JJ!!!!!!!!! RIP BROTHER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
just as great today as he was in the 60's
JJ is the man. Saw him jam with Phis at the Greek in the 90`s. Fantastic
thank u for uploading this masterpiece.didn't know it.
he was one of my heroes back in the 70-80s
FANTASTICO, EN CUALQUIER IDIOMA LA MUSICA DE JJ TE PEGA ADENTRO. JOSE
2024 and still playing.
Es ist früher Morgen, die Sonne geht langsam auf, der Morgentau liegt bleischwer auf den Felder am unteren Niederrhein. Während der Turbolader meines Trucks die Symphonie der Vernichtung pfeift genieße ich das bisschen Freiheit die mir diese einzigartige Atmosphäre bietet.
P.s. Shine on you crazy diamonds kickt da auch gut😊
My music since 1984,.
5 the first album I listened.
fantastic!!!!!!!!!!! J.J IS THE BEST....
i discovered JJ cale by a friend of mine, a guitar friend that is. i started listening to his stuff on the day JJ Cale died, better late then never. i love this music so much !! i don't understand why i didn't knew this music waaaay earlier because i listen to a lot of blues,rock,stoner,metal,psychedelic rock and blues etc etc etc.
I love the sound quality you have managed. Thank you.
never will forget this man...
This is just so cool! Thinking of the Master on the 10th anniversary of his death 26 July 2023.
EXCELLENT J.J CALE......
Excellent, as always.
Hey great video by the way, thanks a million for this!
i love this song
This song seems to describe a gig gone bad (I'm guessing at Santa Cruz's premiere club, the Catalyst, which is where JJ would most likely have been booked). As a music loving Santa Cruz denizen, I know as well as anyone that the locals here are HUGE music fans, deeply knowledgeable and appreciative of true talent whatever the genre, and JJ is especially admired and respected. Typically, world-famous performers actually request their management to include a Santa Cruz stop on any west coast tours just because the audiences are so enthusiastic. BUT the lyrics of this song, if listened to closely, tell a story of a performer whose audience only wants to hear the "greatest hits," who isn't appreciated - a guy leaves early, a girl calls out he "didn't even try" and he complains "how'd I lose? - tell you 'bout a night in Santa Cruz."
Jeez - not every performance is a triumph - that's understood, and not every crowd is as receptive as another - but lord do I wish we had another opportunity to show the master just how revered he is in these parts. It burns that he left town feeling so bad about stopping here that he wrote a song about it - especially a tune with such a hypnotic vibe. Dang...
Tablature Butler cool story bro. Just kidding that was a lucid and heartfelt response.
I've lived in Santa Cruz and gone to the Catalyst, so I know what you mean. Maybe JJ was talking in general terms and Santa Cruz happened to fit his rhyme scheme. Loved my Santa Cruz experience. Great town.
@@cityzen2717 The gigs I saw at he Cat when I lived there, could write a book on the great musicians that played there. If you were in Santa Cruz in the 70s & 80s you know Santa Cruz's own, the might "Snail"!
Tablature Butler ya Jiba Jaba is 💩
The Tulsa Sound. Great JJ Cale ans for ever Genius !
R.I.P Friend
No track on UA-cam can ever be described as "rare".
JJ Cale ❤
My first album n I was ,13 born 61
thank you mr cale......... once again
Thank you JJ..
@ThePipi1951 that must have been some great decades, wish I was there too..
JJ indeed inspired Knopfler and the rest of the band, as Knopfler himself has said, and as you also can hear in the music of D.S. Actually, Knopfler and Cale did a couple of gigs together.. I would love to hear those two together!
He never wanted fame. Just wanted to play music with his friends.
love the slide show too, this is fantastic.
great song and i like your images
Para siempre sr. Cale.
the soundtrack of my life, thanks JJ!!
Love JJ!
Extraordinary Amazing Quality! Thank you!
