Thank you for visiting the JJ Cale Fan Network. The work of this site is provided by the Internet and every music fan out there. Without the help of everyone we wouldn't be here. These pages are maintained by Michael W. Lasota and Vinoo Samuel. We try to provide the most accurate JJ Cale information possible and take pride in verifying information before it is posted on the website.

For those of you that are new here, JJ Cale is a blues musician from Tulsa, OK. He has been releasing solo albums for over 35 years with his first, titled "Naturally". Cale has released 16 albums since then till 2009, with long breaks in between each release. JJ Cale wrote songs which were made famous by other musicians. For example, he wrote "After Midnight", "Cocaine", "I'll Make Love To You Anytime" and the recent hit "Travelin' Light" covered by Eric Clapton. Other minor hits include "Call me the Breeze" covered by Lynyrd Skynyrd, etc.

In 2006, JJ Cale collaberated with Eric Clapton on a new album called "Road to Escondido". This has been a long awaited project, as the only other Cale/Clapton release was two songs from the 2004 Eric Clapton Crossroads Benefit Concert in Dallas, TX. They had played together long ago, but nothing officially released. The new album has been heavily marketed, including spots on CBS' morning show, promotional videos on Amazon.com, and a commercial for MP3 players in the states. A definite dream come true for many Cale fans.

Cale's "laid-back" style is his unique trademark. While his newer albums concentrate less on real musicians and more on drum machines, his overall sound remains the same old Cale. A unique blend of shuffle, blues and jazz. Many consider Cale the founder of the "Tulsa Sound". For more information on JJ Cale, please proceed to view the rest of the site.
