J.J. Cale Naturally (1972)
Originally Released December 1971\nCD Edition Released 1972\n\nAMG EXPERT REVIEW: J.J. Cale's debut album, Naturally, was recorded after Eric Clapton made "After Midnight" a huge success. Instead of fblues-rock album, Cale recruited a number of his Oklahoma friends and made a laid-back country-rock record that firmly established his distinctive, relaxed style. Cale included a new version of "After record lay in songs like "Crazy Mama," which became a hit single, and "Call Me the Breeze," which Lynyrd Skynyrd later covered. On these songs and many others on Naturally, Cale effortlessly captured commercial styles of boogie, blues, and country-rock at the time. Where his contemporaries concentrated on solos, Cale worked the song and its rhythm, and the result was a pleasant, engaging album thure. -- Thom Owens\n\nHalf.com Album Credits\nDiane Davidson, Contributing Artist\n\nAlbum Notes\nPersonnel: J.J. Cale (vocals, guitar); Mac Gayden (slide guitar); Weldon Myrick (steel guitar); Walterfiddle); Ed Colis (harmonica); David Briggs (piano, organ); Jerry Whitehurst, Bob Wilson (piano); Norbert Putnam, Tim Drummond, Carl Radle (bass instrument); Karl Himmel, Chuck Browning (drums); Dianemation: Moss Rose Studio, Nashville, Tennessee (09/29/1970 - 09/30/1970); Bradley's Barn, Juliet, Tennessee (10/02/1970 - 10/04/1970).\n\nNATURALLY has stood up over the years as a perfect debut. Whensy, laid back grooves to excellent effect, and in the decades since, this album and its follow-up, REALLY, have remained classics of mellow '70s country-rock. Riding on the success and easy blues feelt," NATURALLY goes even deeper into roots music, concocting a mixture of country, blues, and boogie that is full of downhome goodness while it drips with cool.\n\nCale's version of "After Midnight" iser covered by Lynyrd Skynyrd), and the minimal blues "Crazy Mama" (a radio hit for Cale). The music is deceptively tricky--the surface textures pull you in like a porch swing, but the interlocking rhyare far from standard-issue slow boogie. A sterling cast of players backs Cale, adding warm tones and light, in-the-cut rhythms. NATURALLY is a perfect introduction to the work of this influential culusic vs the shrillness of marketing, June 5, 2005\nReviewer: Fred Chauncey (Boulder, CO United States) \nListen to the music and you can *HEAR* the essense of a musician who eschewed the crassness of ale's music is anything but. \nJoin us -- experience the pure joy of discovering such thoughtful sounds long ago buried by all the hype for high-profile music which is essentially pushy/shrill. Non-shnt.' Cale's music is different -- you get drawn into the music rather than having it shoved in your face. Experience the feeling of presence to Cale's "After Midnight" vs the feeling of being assual Customer Review\nMusic History: Clapton's and Knofler's Mentor, July 7, 2002\nReviewer: Bruce Boatner (Murrieta, CA USA) \nIf you think "They Call Me The Breeze" sounds exactly like "Lay Down Sally" e with much of his "shuffle" influence. Likewise Knofler, though "Really" was probably his favorite album. \nThis album is straight out of the 70's and very home-made sounding. They actually used a wongineering is poor, but adequate. Lots of things jump out when they could have been much better handled. We didn't care much in those days, but now it can be jarring. \n\nJ.J.'s "Really" album is the r engineered, with real studio musicians (fantastic piano and bass & better drums). J.J. is not better known because he didn't WANT to be better known. At one concert where he was sitting in on guitarlanded on him. Important music history here.\n\nAmazon.com Customer Review\nShould be an "Essential Recording", November 29, 1999\nReviewer: A music fan\nDiscovering Cale is like stumbling on a diamoncause he has been quietly producing gems for almost 30 years now. I would be hard pressed to think of a musician who has produced more great work to less acclaim than Cale.\nThis album will slip into (that still fit). At least two of these songs helped make careers for other artists but none could be done as well as Cale himself does them. He IS the breeze.\n\nHalf.com Details \nPersonnel: J.J.
