J.J. CALE Roll On (2009 UK 12-track LP - 'Roll On' is the
legendary songwriter and guitarist's first solo album in nearly
five years and follows his Grammy-winning, gold-certified
2006 album with Eric Clapton 'The Road To Escondido'. The
new album is full of timeless grooves and the meticulously
understated production that he is known for, but it also adds
new dimensions to the 'classic Cale sound'. Just drop the
needle on the new record and all of a sudden there's JJ Cale
jazz-scatting for the first time on disc opener 'Who Knew' and
later he's loping along behind a restrained jazz piano on
'Former Me'. Cale even adds an element of humour to the
lyrics of the laid-back jam 'Where The Sun Don't Shine'. The
title track is a previously unreleased collaboration with Eric
Clapton and further evidence of the pair's incredibly fruitful,
simpatico creative partnership BEC5772470)
