    Eric Clapton has often stated that JJ Cale is one of the single most important figures in rock history, a sentiment echoed by many of his fellow musicians. Cale's influence on Clapton and many of today's artists cannot be overstated. To honor JJ's legacy, a year after his passing, Clapton, along with a group of like-minded friends and musicians, is releasing Eric Clapton & Friends: The Breeze, An Appreciation of JJ Cale. With performances by Clapton, Mark Knopfler, John Mayer, Willie Nelson, Tom Petty, Derek Trucks, Don White and others, the album features 16 beloved JJ Cale Songs and is named for the 1972 single "Call Me The Breeze."
    Call Me The Breeze Lyrics:
    They call me the breeze
    I keep rollin' down the road
    They call me the breeze
    I keep rollin' down the road
    I ain't got me nobody
    I ain't carrying me no load
    Ain't no change in the weather
    Ain't no change in me
    Ain't no change in the weather
    Ain't no change in me
    I ain't hiding from nobody
    Ain't nobody hiding from me
    I got that green light babe
    I got to be movin' on
    I got that green light babe
    I got to be movin' on
    I might go out to California
    Might go down to Georgia
    I don't know

    Just learned about JJ Cale now. Never heard of him before today but so glad I found out about him. Looking up his music and enjoying it. Was always a fan of Eric Clapton's for many years and now I know where he got his sound from.
    RIP JJ Cale. Thank you for your contributions to the music I love.

    JJ always will be the Breeze; a tall glass of pure, cold water in the music. First heard him in 1975, was in a small town in Northern Alberta (Canada) and I kept on playing and re-playing his album, "Naturally". I had never been so captivated by a style of music as JJ. Where ever you may be, JJ you will always be here.

      I cut my teeth to JJCale... the album naturally is still one of the best albums, John was the true slowhand.

    • @Galantski
      @Galantski Рік тому +4

      @@ratkeller9608 I don't think Eric would disagree that J.J. was the original slowhand, because his style of playing changed after becoming friends with Cale.
      However, Clapton was a true slowhand in his own right, learning well from the master, the man he called "my hero". He had previously played Cale songs faster, but in a lead-in to a video where the two are on stage together, Eric said the slower version is what he'd now rather play, then smiled and added that he could play in J.J.'s style "till the cows come home".
      And on the above recording, which appeared on a tribute album after Cale's passing in 2013, Eric plays the song closer to the version on _Naturally,_ than any other cover. In fact, note that the beginning here is actually taken from Cale's original from that album, then seamlessly switches over to Clapton playing.

      @@Galantski Yes, I agree with your assessment, thank you for taking the time to express your view, and point out some of those important details. I can hear what you mean. I guess it is just a tough egg to swallow that Clapton put three of JJ Cale's songs on the Popular charts with versions that do not seem like better versions, and yet I should actually be grateful that he did so. I did post another comment stating I am glad he finally covered Call me the Breeze more in honour of the original. yet I do agree with your outlook after only the consideration it took to read it. It simply rings true.

      @JoeP3300 4 роки тому +1

      Clapton said the intro is a drum machine from jj's demo of this song. EC said he had trouble with the quirky beat without the drum machine so he put it in as an intro.

    Eric I continue to dig into the blues discovery music that I have not heard. Of course this classic by JJ was covered by Lynard Sknard, Johnny Cash, John Mayer, even Les claypool and many others.
    For me the word are the foundation to a great song. "Ain,t no changing me" those words I have long lived with. Great song, great music Eric.
    My bucket list Eric like millions of us struggling musicians trying to break through to the other side.I just want a few songs to live on, be on crossroads 1Time
