Clapton may have made it famous, but there is no comparison. JJ Cale wrote it, and he gives it life. He is an incredible artist, and seemingly just fine with others making his music famous. Good dude.
No way, check out the studio version of JJ Cale's Cocaine, Clapton's sound is nothing compared to Cale's sound, even how hard he tries he can't copy it
I think both Cale and Claptons versions are very good. Each one has a distinct style and it would be a shame if Clapton tried to make his version exactly like the original on such an awesome song
The studio version on "Troubadour" is outstanding, absolutely heavy and so, so cool . . . listen to THAT version and I cannot even tolerate hearing Clapton's version anymore even though I am a big Clapton fan. The production values on Cale's original "Cocaine" are classic early 70's analog and the tones are heavy.
If Amy Winehouse had a band like this, her albums would not be such shit. Nick intro to the clip by the Chipmunks, too. Is it the writing or the playing that makes me want to dance just sitting listening???
A girl called lauren was walikng in a forest and then a she just dissapeared no one ever found her until 2000 when a yoing girl called Mary found her body and markings on her chest saying: I wasnt pretty enough" and now you have read this she will appear in your mirror saying your not pretty enough and kill you. by the way mary died shortly after.

EXACTLY! The understated coolness of JJ & even his band is so lost on most, especially in today's pop culture of pablum-fed clones (lol). I literally got shivers watching this & couldn't stop smiling (& I'm not even on coke!). Have u checked out "Going Down" by JJ & Leon Russell on youtube? The parts where Cale is singing r too good for me to even express, & the band is pure laid-back perfection backing him up. Cheers!
Ditto. JJ's live shows are always way cool....he puts the audience into a kind of hypnotic transe. Without the drugs. Long, slow versions that.....nobody outside the room has ever heard before, because he never plays it the same way twice. Don't ever pass up a chance to see him live.
@ehsays yeah j.j. cales music is called the laid back sound. and him and Leon Russell are both good friends from Tulsa ,Oklahoma. J.J is right up there with the best in my books. thank you Drohegda
