Cale is perhaps best known for penning hits for Eric Clapton, including "Cocaine" and "Midnight Hour," yet he's also an accomplished and extremely talented songwriter and guitarist. While no one ever declared, "Cale is God," Clapton clearly has always thought highly of him, and in 2006, the Clapton/Cale mutual admiration society finally made its way into the studio.The result is 14 songs' worth of the relaxed blues hybrid that Cale built his career around and that earned Clapton the nickname '"Slowhand." The duo produced all the tracks and wrote the majority of them, with some help from guests such as Taj Mahal, Derek Trucks, the late Billy Preston, and John Mayer, who wrote the song "Hard to Thrill" for the album. THE ROAD TO ESCONDIDO is a mellow musical good time between friends, and for fans of the two musicians, it's a front-row seat to a rare and scintillating collaboration.

I decided to buy this album because I am a great fan of JJ Cale and Eric Clapton. I was worried that maybe one would influence the album more than the other but was pleasantly surprised. Most songs are written by Cale and 50% are very much in his style. But the other 50% display the artistry of Clapton in equal measure! This is a fabulous album -a definite addition to the collection of any true fan of both artists! Review ID: 10000000003921018 Was this review helpful? Report this review |
