  • This is one of my favourite songs from J.J. Cale.
    There are 2 versions here, the latter is from the 2004 Tulsa & Back album... The first seems like an older version which I prefer more.. With the organ softly in the background instead of a bass...

    I was 19 when I heard J.J. first time, in God-forgotten, Commie-ruled Poland. Now I am 67, and alive thanks to J.J. I love you J.J., you are alive in me, and my kids.

      Poland and Pope Saint John Paul II are proof God never forgets Poland. Poland suffered more than any land/people on earth in the 20th Century. WW2 saw your homeland ravaged so savagely. I say all this that you know to say, I try hard to empathize with the unimaginable except all people can feel pain and sorrow for their brother. I feel it for Poland. Many of my friends are Polish-Americans. Sons of immigrants. Zyiewc is the best proof that God forgot not Poland ever. He gave Poland the nectar of his Godliness for the Polish to give the rest of the world. Thank you Poland and the Polish who fought nobly from their fights against the Teutonic Order up until their stunning powerful war within that peacefully beat the Soviet menace. ❤

    "Stone River"
    Stone river
    Water ain't runnin' no more
    Stone river
    Water ain't runnin' no more
    Man he done cut if off
    And moved it all around
    There ain't no river runnin'
    No water can't be found
    Stone river
    Water ain't runnin' no more
    Fish ain't swimmin'
    Ain't no fish around nowhere
    Fish ain't swimmin'
    Ain't nobody seem to care
    They botteled up and dammed it
    Choked it up and jammed it
    Killed the life around it
    And stole it like a bandit
    Stone river
    Water ain't runnin' no more
    What used to be a river
    Now is just an empty site
    Ain't no vegetation
    It's just an agitation
    It don't seem right
    There ain't no trees a growin'
    No animals are showin'
    What used to be a stream
    Is now just a dream
    Stone river
    Water ain't runnin' nowhere
    Stone river
    Water ain't runnin' no more
    Man he done cut it off
    And moved it all around
    There ain't no river runnin'
    No water can't be found

I actually got to meet and talk with JJ Cale at a show of his in Lafayette La. Saw Leon several times over the years. So sad that they aren't around anymore - but thankfully, they both left us their music.

    On the first listen I picked the older one for its classic cheap old guitar, lo-fi, homemade JJ sound. But that guitar solo in the newer one is also classic JJ. So, I'll just listen to both back to back until they meld together in my mind and become one extended song.
