Eric Clapton & Friends
Imagine this: Tom Petty with Eric Clapton! Or Mark Knopfler/Eric Clapton; hell, Eric Clapton with (take your choice, depending on how you feel about great music) Willie Nelson, John Mayer, et al;that's the deal on a new CD coming out next week.
The CD is a tribute<b> album </font></b>to the late J.J. Cale who died recently. A few of his songs were previously recorded and scored top 10 credentials in past years by Clapton, Gregg Allman, among others.
As I've mentioned before, I love these types of CDs getting different interpretations of great songs by other great musicians, and like everybody else, I love having great selections in my collection.
The following is the track-listing of the CD titled "Eric Clapton & Friends: The Breeze, An Appreciation of JJ Cale":
1. Call Me The Breeze (Eric Clapton)
2. Rock And Roll Records (Eric Clapton & Tom Petty)
3. Someday (Mark Knopfler)
4. Lies (John Mayer & Eric Clapton)
5. Sensitive Kind (Don White)
6. Cajun Moon (Eric Clapton)
7. Magnolia (John Mayer)
8. I Got The Same Old Blues (Tom Petty & Eric Clapton)
9. Songbird (Willie Nelson & Eric Clapton)
10. Since You Said Goodbye (Eric Clapton)
11. I’ll Be There (If You Ever Want Me) (Don White & Eric Clapton)
12. The Old Man And Me (Tom Petty)
13. Train To Nowhere (Mark Knopfler, Don White & Eric Clapton)
14. Starbound (Willie Nelson)
15. Don’t Wait (Eric Clapton & John Mayer)
16. Crying Eyes (Eric Clapton & Christine Lakeland) |

Quoting grayblue1: I got that green light, baby I got to be movin' out of here I got that green light, baby I got to be movin' out of here I might go out to California I might go down to Georgia, might stay here
Well, they call me the breeze I keep rollin' down the road Yeah, they call me the breeze I keep rollin' down the road I ain't got me nobody I ain't carry no heavy load
JJ Cale has always been unknown for his song writing and music abilities....his work never fell short..with me...pretty cool ...T...
Blue...
I bought “Road to Escondido” his collaboration with Eric Clapton after realizing he was the writer for "Cocaine," "Call Me The Breeze," and "After Midnight."
Money well spent!

So do I, baby, So do I. Fascinated by all the great guitarists of the late 20th century; Clapton, Page, Hendrix, Jeff Beck, Satriani, etc.

I got that one on CD. I finally unwrapped it two years later and, while I'm sorry I waited so long to listen to it, I am, at the same time, glad I had something new to listen to at that time.
I only remembered I had it because I was gathering all my Eric Clapton CDs together.
