J.J. Cale - Travelog (CD 1994)

I discovered Cale when i was 11 in '91 when i was getting fitted for a school play costume at our costume makers house. she was listening to travel-log and i heard 'lady luck' and asked what it was. I am so glad that i asked cause everyone should know J.J. Cale, hardly anyone i ask does.
This is chilled out music with a distinctive guitar sound that seems unique to Cale, its easy to see why clapton rates him so much.
There is a plethora of albums to choose from, most of which are numbered. Travel-log was my first, on cassette. i bought it on CD so i can listen to it in my car.
Lady luck was the song that hooked me, i defy anyone to hear it without getting drawn in. its got a shuffly drum beat and a great bassline to go with. Cale has a modest vocal style as if he wants the music to lead, it all comes together so well. end of the line is so laid back you cant help but nod and tap along. No time is another great example of his cool style. i cant think of any songs i dont like, its all so likeable.when i stick on a Cale cd i feel like i never
need to listen to anything else again!buy some, any Cale album would be a safe bet if you like bluesy, laid back cool desert music, he's been around for ages, quietly making some of the best tunes out there. spread the word!
