Who's bringing up John Mayer on a fucking JJ Cale video? John has some serious chops but his boyish mediocre 2000's pop vocals ruin any chance of him of being serious contender. Comparing him to JJ Cale is like comparing a Chevy Aveo to a Ford GT. Long live JJ Cale
aint it sad tht with the exception of jeff beck and a few others, all the best guitarist are old and dyin, any good young guitarist these days is into heavy metal and shit, the world has lost it soul and sadly one day, the amazing guitarist like jj and clapton will be no more and there will be no one tu replace them:(
@guitarconasor i said jeff beck and a few others besides hes not that young, hes gettin old, i think hes late 30s early 40s now or itleast looks it so hes not that young
Never heard this version before... It's amazing. It is much better than Clapton's. JJ Cale is awesome, thanks for the video. I've got to go download everything Cale now.
this old punk is the a rock legend and one of the best musicians of 20th century for sure:) I think Knopfler was influenced by Cale according to how they both play guitar with fingers. What do you think?
@zapkvr JJ is one of a relatively small family of originals. The sound owes a lot to him. He also helped put a lot of household names on the list and influenced most who came along since the late '50s. . Even Clapton came over and went to the Church with him awhile. Few people have any idea of his imact on music.
Realize people; no Cale would mean no Clapton, would mean no John Mayer etc - so either you like or understand this great artist - go on and listen to what ever moves YOU and one day you might realize what this guy brought to the table !
With all due respect JJ is not in it for Guitar Hero, that is the style he originated the Tulsa Blues style. Laid back thumb picking. He wrote this an After Midnight, and many others that were covered. The man has talent, appreciate it
Gibt es den gar kein Livevideo von JJCale und Okie? Der Song Cocaine ist vorgetragen, realistisch und unter die Haut gehend. Clapton ist zu steril, halt ein Superstar, aber nicht der beste Gitarrenspieler. Da gibt es viele bessere, die man nicht kennt.
JJ Cale is one of the best and most creative songwriters and singers ever...its been a long strange trip..check out his 2006 albym that he allowed Clapton to play and sing on.....along with Billy Preston .........Road To Escondido. But you cant beat the original stuff.
Oh, wow, that Holland playing the piano. Loved it. I didn't go through all the comments, but people do realize, right, that Cale wrote this song, along with After Midnight and many others. He and Clapton are close friends and did an album together a couple years ago. And Cale lives in Escondido last I heard.
I love this rendition better than his original album. Clapton took this song and evolved it into his style. I love Clapton's version, but I keep coming back to this. It's the only way you can get back. Cocaine.
JJ Cale is unique and a good songwriter. His debut album "Naturally" from 1971 is one of the ten best albums ever. There isn't any Clapton is better or JJ is better, they are just different. Check out "Crazy Mama" (studio) version on here and you can appreciate the best comment I've read yet. "Man, JJ Cale is so laid back he's horizontal, love everything he ever did." by Jupitersgoose. That kinda says it all. To say Clapton's no good is pure ignorance, he is one of the best.
I find it amusing and kinda sad this back & forth about Clapton and JJ Cale. If you know anything about JJ Cale you would know that he is indeed a gifted and unique singer songwriter that just has always had a real aversion to being in the spotlight. He does not like to be the 'main attraction' or star nor does he care for extensive touring and/ or recording. He is quite content to be who he is and have others like Clapton (they are friends) record his songs.
There are only two kinds of musicians in the world - those who've got it and those who haven't. The first group is enormous - the second relatively small. This guy used to belong to the latter group but now he's moved on and is in a class of his own.

Clapton is great, but it's a little weird that he's like one of the most famous musicians in the world and hardly anyone know's Cale, even though Clapton got big partly from Cale's material. Almost like the rap sampling James Brown thing.
Um, Cale's songs had nothing to do with Clapton getting "big." Are you forgetting The Yardbyrds, John Mayall's Bluesbreakers, Cream, Blind Faith, and Delaney and Bonnie and Friends. All these bands were before he ever recorded Cale's songs. While I love JJ, I think your comment was uninformed.
@jswhitler I can tell you're a fan of Clapton, but he did popularize Cocaine, Traveling Light & After Midnight which were all Cale's songs. Nothing wrong with covering someone else's stuff, but why was it such a secret. I never hear Cale on the radio or even mention that he wrote those songs. I prefer Cream for Clapton. I do like that song "I can't Stand it" by Eric though, Cool song.
It's really not that hard. JJ Cale is a brilliant rock songwriter (very underrated) and Eric Clapton is a brilliant rock guitarist and performer (very well rated). When you write the song you can perform it however you please, look at how Bob Dylan performs his songs.
Cale did a better version both live and studio. Clapton? Puhhhlease. Clapton has been doing more covers that a manhole lid casting factory, and most range from mediocre to darn great, but most are in the first category. Cale freaking rules. Clapton is well Clapton. I love both of these guys. Only Les Paul and The Ventures did more covers than Clapton. Of the three Clapton is running in third place,... sorry.
At his best J J Cale was the coolest, most laid back singer I ever heard. This performance is still good but he has lost his voice now - it just just doesn't float over the backing like it used to.
Listen to 'J.J. Cale - Crazy Mama (Studio)' posted around here and hear his original voice.

@tphillips68 jus noticed your comment on this vid and you are absolutely rediculous. Do peoples opinions about a particular song need to informed or educated. Music us more pure than U give it credit for and should be ashamed of yourself for talking down to kids about thier personal opinions. JJ Cale would simply spat in your face. . lol even tho you do like his original version better.
althoug I first listened to this song several times in the Eric Clapton version ( Slowhand Album,Live at Budokan 1979 and Live in different places and years )., now I think J.J. Cale original version is better of Clapton.Someone says that cale solo is poor, maybe but He doesn't need to play many notes. He plays the right notes and also his voice is better 'cause is more relaxed and He is a real american voice instead of Clapton and this is Tulsa sound.
loving the drummers suspenders, jj cales smooth-as-you-like call to jools to "tickle the ivories" and then followed by his own plectrumless solo. absolutely sublime. his subtle vocal is spot on. amazing.
@tphillips68 I personally enjoy Clapton's version more. I just think it has a more raw, rocky feel, but that's a subjective, personal opinion, that's no reason to be derogatory to people :P
@tphillips68 Who died and made you the last word on which version is better? Clapton's is the better version. Opinions are like rectal openings, and everyone has one. Instead of doing a line, take a Valium. Idiot.
@tphillips68 Ha ha perfectly put! Rarely have I read such a prosaic yet wastedly poetic critique. You are more then correct and I have voted you up one. Top marks my dear sir!
@Acrelad thanks! not to kiss your ass, but I love john renbourn! the best thing I play on the guitar is a short instrumental based on his guitar part to Pentangles, The Trees They do Grow High.
@zapkvr Really!:) Yes it's vivedly seen how Cale uses his first finger, Knopfler uses it the same way! Thank you for reply, my friend! You know, I am listening to this song since I posted my comment:) amazing:) this riff is awsome! I have almost all the albums of JJ Cale after the friend of father gave the disk with his songs. I love it, I love a lot of that kind of music and JJ Cale especially.You are right, the have a lot of in common, and the sound of guitar and the was to play solo.
@tphillips68 our opinions are wrong? dude they are opinions its what you as a individual, and a jj.cale fan wouldnt be judging people and telling whats right and wrong. you sir are asshole just for thinking other peoples opinions are wrong
@tphillips68 Eric Clapton version is clearly bette. That doesn´t mean this one is ok.But please, recognize the difference. If not, fuck off you idiotttttttttttt!!!
@tphillips68 Who made it ok for you to tell anyone their opinion is wrong? If someone doesn't like this version, and likes Claptons better or vice-versa, it's their opinion to have and there isn't anything you can do about it. In short, get over it.
@tphillips68 jj cale's version has changed through the years,he's played it everyway possible,the original relaese is pure class,as is after midnight which clapton also covered.
JJ wrote some great songs but can't sing for shit!

loving the drummers suspenders, jj cales smooth-as-you-like call to jools to "tickle the ivories" and then followed by his own plectrumless solo. absolutely sublime. his subtle vocal is spot on. amazing.

Anyone commenting that Clapton's version is better or Cale's version is ...this or that....shut the fuck up. your opinions are wrong.
this entire thread reeks of uninformed opinions, kids and dipshits. a few of you get it. thank you.

@tphillips68 I personally enjoy Clapton's version more. I just think it has a more raw, rocky feel, but that's a subjective, personal opinion, that's no reason to be derogatory to people :P

@tphillips68 Who died and made you the last word on which version is better? Clapton's is the better version. Opinions are like rectal openings, and everyone has one. Instead of doing a line, take a Valium. Idiot.

@Acrelad thanks! not to kiss your ass, but I love john renbourn! the best thing I play on the guitar is a short instrumental based on his guitar part to Pentangles, The Trees They do Grow High.

@tphillips68 Ah well you got that right. I love Clapton's version but it is SHIT compared to Cale's. Honestly, there is just no comparison.

@zapkvr Really!:) Yes it's vivedly seen how Cale uses his first finger, Knopfler uses it the same way! Thank you for reply, my friend! You know, I am listening to this song since I posted my comment:) amazing:) this riff is awsome! I have almost all the albums of JJ Cale after the friend of father gave the disk with his songs. I love it, I love a lot of that kind of music and JJ Cale especially.You are right, the have a lot of in common, and the sound of guitar and the was to play solo.

@tphillips68 Who made it ok for you to tell anyone their opinion is wrong? If someone doesn't like this version, and likes Claptons better or vice-versa, it's their opinion to have and there isn't anything you can do about it. In short, get over it.

Having heard many versions of this song, I think the best one is on JJ's Troubadour album. Give it a listen.
