Top Comments of this video!! :3
I was introduced to JJ Cales music in 1975 with his "Really" album. It is a shame that he never received the acclaim that he so richly deserved. Thank God that Eric Clapton finally discovered him and exposed him to the world. JJ's wife Christene Lakeland was probably the best thing that ever happened to him. She always lit up when she was in his presence. They truly loved each other. She still misses him to this day. Good people. My life is richer because of them and the "Tulsa Sound." Vaughn

He wasn't more well-known to this day than he is simply because he chose that life.
He didn't care to be in the spotlight. If he could have chosen he'd be a guitar player in a band and not in the spotlight.
The fact that he barely ever promoted any released albums or tours shows it's a testament to the music and he didn't care about being a famous rock 'n roll has been.
He just wanted to play his music and survive off of that and there is absolutely nothing wrong with such a fantastic effortless attitude.

had the pleasure to have seen JJ Cale play in Dublin in around 1975. most laid back gig ever. no support act, no announcer, JJ just walked on, plugged in, sat on a stool and started played. Still remember it vividly to this day. Had never heard him before, but my love affair started then. This is a fitting tribute to the man and his music.
