JJ Cale dies...

I was saddened...

Someone who I got to know when I was getting into high end hi-fi. Troubadour and 5 were two releases of his I'm particularly fond of. His all around contribution to music will be missed.

I've discovered a few of Cale's recordings just in recent years and have enjoyed them a lot. Still a lot to dig into there for me. He has done a lot over the years yet is not well known. His music reminds me of kind of a poor mans Mark Knopfler, and I mean that in a very good way. Sorry to hear he is now gone.

JJ was 99 percent talent and 1 percent hype.
I don't think you find a guy like that playing today.

Heard about his death while watching a String Cheese Incident concert on sat TV. "Naturally" is one of my all time favorite albums of any period, both for the amazing sound quality audiophile wise as well as the music. May he rest in peace.
