2007.dec.08 - JJ Cale had his birthday a few days ago. Many birthday wishes John from everyone in your fan base. Hope it was a good one.
2007.oct.24 - Many people have been asking about the fires in California and if they've been affecting JJ's home. A few days ago I hear the fires were pretty close, but reading up on Escondido.org it appears all evacuations are over and everything is back to normal. I'm not sure if his home is alright, but I am certain he and Christine have been able to get out if necessary.
2007.oct.16 - There's a new contest on the Official JJ Cale website to win an autographed Gibson ES-335. Apparently a few more will be given away on a few select radio station giveaways as well. Pretty cool!
2007.sep.30 - October 2nd the "new" album of 1970's unreleased material, "Rewind" will be released nationwide in the US. For details visit the official JJ Cale website.
2007.aug.10 - Web services restored thanks to our good friend Vinoo Samuel. He has donated web hosting for the site at no cost. Thank you, Vinoo!
A few things in the Cale news, obviously: According to the Official JJ Cale website, a new compilation of unreleased material is to be released in October. In talks on the Yahoo! groups, it appears another "comprehensive" set of unreleased tracks will be released depending on the sales of the October release. I'm sure it'll be out sometime anyway; just be a little longer. It seems their marketing Cale in the way the Beatles have been for years: release re-takes, re-edits, and unreleased material every few years to keep some money in the bank. Cool though, it should sound amazing.
Tour anyone? If I were a magic 8 ball, I'd say the future looks certain. But I'm not a magic 8 ball. So I could be just making things up. :) Stay tuned... |
