Funny how things pop up and tie together in a way you can't ignore. Earlier this week I passively listened to On Repeat with Kevin Alexander's weekly playlist, which included a song from Cale's 1979 album "5" that caught my attention. Once the playlist ended, Spotify gave me all the tunes it thought I needed to hear. After several more J.J. Cale tracks gave me pause, I began to research because I couldn't believe I had lived 47 years without ever hearing of him. A great dinner discussion ensued.
I knew that he changed his stage name to J.J. Cale so he wouldn't be confused with John Cale, who I also had not heard of until reading that tidbit. And now you've told me John Cale has a new album?! You've now begun the soundtrack for our taco night this evening, so thanks for being a link in the chain!

Yeah! Eric Clapton basically stole Jj Cale’s whole vibe in the 70s and had huge hits with his songs
According to things my husband read the same day I discovered JJ Cale, Clapton stole more than vibes-->other people’s wives.😳
But it sounds like Cale didn’t want the fame, so there’s that.
