i had the great privilege of seeing j.j. and his band live at the station inn in nashville, many years ago...1977. he came on with a jazz bluegrass band and NEVER said anything to the audience, and never even faced us. i knew he was great before i went, but i even loved him more after that concert. see him live if you can. i am sure he has gotten more gregarious by now.
yes, he is a minimalist, and yes he is a great jazz musician who is a spectacular song-writer.
@oleole52 Actually, he does a lot of covers. 'Mama Don't' is traditional, but I like Mr. Cale's version best. Obviously you can find all this info online.
@louiseduvee Actually, all through the 70's, Mr. Cale indicated his dislike of an audience by turning his back on them. In Memphis, we got lucky and he told us he didn't do curtain calls, but he was making an exception for us.
Amen to this one. love it! thank you.

This song is one of the cuts on the soundtrack for the Hanson Bro's. movie, "Scrapple". Excellent film, and this is a great song.
