Eric Clapton and Friends: The Breeze, An Appreciation of JJ Cale is a MUST HAVE!

August 19, 2014

Eric Clapton’s latest album, The Breeze, An Appreciation of JJ Cale is a must have for all musicians and is a true honor to his legacy. Cale’s influence on Clapton was profound, and his influence on many more of today’s artists cannot be overstated. Eric gathered a group of like-minded friends and musicians and created the musical masterpiece that features 16 beloved JJ Cale songs and is named for the 1972 single Call Me The Breeze. “I would like people to tap into what JJ Cale did – that’s the point. I’m just the messenger; I’ve always felt that that’s my job. I try to interpret things so that the public at large, or at least the people who listen to what I do, will become intrigued about where I got it from,” said Clapton. Check out the video for Call Me The Breeze here: The track listing for the album is: 1. Call Me The Breeze (Vocals Eric Clapton) 2. Rock And Roll Records (Vocals Eric Clapton & Tom Petty) 3. Someday (Vocals Mark Knopfler) [Read More]
