"If a guy came up and said 'we got a polka band and we're going to play polkas next Saturday night' I'd play polkas. I tried to play anything people would hire me to play, because I was a musician." -JJ Cale

Cale’s dedication shone through over a half-century of making music, even after the world caught on to hits he wrote like ‘After Midnight.’ His songs often reflect the grind of the music industry, with tracks like 'Carry On' from SHADES inspiring perseverance. And that dedication paid off, earning him a Grammy in 2008 and a spot in the Oklahoma Music Hall of Fame by 2014.

Often mistaken as a song glamorizing substance abuse, Cale’s “Cocaine” does the opposite.

Here’s what @ericclapton had to say:

“It’s no good to write a deliberate anti-drug song and hope that it will catch. Because the general thing is that people will be upset by that. It would disturb them to have someone else shoving something down their throat. So the best thing to do is offer something that seems ambiguous. If you study it or look at it with a little bit of thought … from a distance … or as it goes by … it just sounds like a song about cocaine. But actually, it is quite cleverly anti-cocaine.”

Cale’s mastery in guitar not only wowed fans but inspired other artists. One of them being singer-songwriter @neilyoungarchives. The two shared a deep mutual admiration for each other’s work. Cale’s handcrafted Tulsa Sound is reflected in Young’s subtle, laid-back grooves.

Fans like Neil Young have admired Cale’s finesse in his guitar work. His use of open tunings and unconventional chord progressions, which allowed him to create a sound that was both familiar and entirely his own. Wielding his Fender Stratocaster, Cale knew how to create the mood and atmosphere with his guitar.

In all of his career, Cale only posted on X (formally Twitter) once. The post? Legendary. In just 6 words, he told the world all they needed to know.

@mael_reboux_ig Je ne la relirai pas. Mais c'est comme certaines contines, si le bon mot-clé m'est donné, tout revient.
Vite un bon vieux ZZ Top !

“The man in charge don't know what he's doing.’ Cale, on the other hand, does.” -THE TIMES

“The Problem” is a rare gem in JJ Cale’s catalog, as it’s one of his few songs with a political message. In this track from his album TO TULSA AND BACK, the lyrics talk about the disconnect between those in power and the everyday people, calling out the need for change in a straightforward way. It's Cale’s unique blend of storytelling and music that makes this protest song hit home.

SHADES: Released February, 1981.

“[JJ Cale’s] songs and his overall approach to music are all-encompassing; the seductive and laid-back grooves his rhythm sections empower are written into the very fabric of the songs... There are never any stray notes or decorative filigrees. Friendly and inviting, SHADES sounds good in any season and at any time of day...” -ALL MUSIC
