I finally caught him live at Vancouver's Cap College...this song in particular, ABSOLUTELY floored me! He had an incrediblely, sympathetic band...such a tasteful player, his finger picking is very underrated. The very embodiment of laidback, his entire style is SO complete...Clapton only wishes he was this good...
@HWY60Juan No, it's a different song called Little Wing by Neil Young. There's a great live version on YouTube but the studio version's on Hawks And Doves- might be on here too.
Oklahoma is home to a number of talented artists...J.J. is only one of many but certainly one of our "favorite sons". His singing wasnt all that great...but his song writing talents were remarkable.
@kc5tng A great all-round musician I'd say, not just song writer. Maybe I'm in a minority, but I mostly think his vocals are just right. Sue Bob Dylan wishes he could sing that good now.
A touchingly beautiful song. Love your video--great tribute to JJ Cale. I saw him in the 1970's--amazing performer and songwriter. His album "Naturally" is one of my favorites.
Always my favourite JJ Cale song - I was lucky enough in the 70's to see him perform in a gymnasium, so intimate and unheard of now!! Also, thanks dogerkitty for the accompanying slideshow - superb.
dodgerkitty this is great stuff! I don't know which is better, JJ playind and singing about "Magnolias" or looking at all the pretty ones you posted! Just outstanding, really good work, thank you, thank you very much! God Save J. J. Cale! Also, as always thanks You Tube for both the space and keepin' the light on!
Gorgeous song! Thank you for posting it. There is another beautiful version of this song by Chris Smither along with JJ Cale, but I don't know what album it is on or if it's on an album, nor can I find it on youtube. If anyone has access to it, PLEASE post it. I'd be very grateful. Thanks!
Heard this first song in a funeral. It was a strange feeling, of deep sorrow and lightful hope at the same time. I'll remember the feeling the final line gave me forever, saying final goodbye to an old friend... "I'll soon be there"...
I wish I get to see JJ Cale live once...I can die peacefully & smiling...and when I lie down on my deathbed, I want this song to play....to take me on to an eternal trip...
Though I pay homage to the original!, such as here, I dig the instrumentation more on Poco's version. Sorry, but I really like Poco's smoother version, JMO. Thank you JJ.
lol...ANOTHER WONDERFUL slow dance....another that reminds me of C. Berdar, 1995, Pascagoula, MS...some people have impeccable music tastes---and can dance..LOL Vik
OOH I like this.
