JJ Cale - Tijuana

[thierrysiemons]

beautiful version.!!

[christos7165]

AMAZING GREEK FUN

[ismadvm]

Excellent !!!! Et ces notes de saxo ...un plus! Dommage que je ne comprenne pas les paroles mais je comprends qu'il s'agit de la frontière. Sachant qu'entre les Etats-Unis et le Mexique il existe un grand mur, il ne me reste plus qu'à imaginer que les choses ne se passent pas toujours comme celui qui traverse voudrait que ça se passe. Compliqué n'est-ce pas ? Alors j'écoute la musique et elle ....ELLE PASSE dans un sens comme dans l'autre !!!

[20smallcigars]

How to achieve more by doing less....J.J. all the way.

[christos7165]

@20smallcigars THE BEST COMMENT

[mkeenan36]

can't match JJ's style...that's what makes him so great.

[Tulsaguy123]

JJ, loose the comb-over. I remember your days at the Casa Del here in Tulsa.

[cheeezdooodle]

beautiful man, beautiful music

[fx662s]

Oh ! la bonita mia !

[tidepool123]

love him of old, bout time evis had jj at glastonbury.

[stumadre]

Weekend at Bernies?

[MsDutchcourage]

jj Cale rules

[AndyMayBee]

@MsDutchcourage Yes. JJ Cale, Tom Waits and Bob Dylan. They rule.

[PetroDola]

i heard the best remix of this song that was electronic and a chick singing... and it shits on the original.. anyone know who it is ?

[clayrad1]

dancing in the moonlight...

[marcofratiniful]

y r crazy man

[gibaggggg]

interprete da qui hanno attinto in tanti,ed è sempre infinitamente sublime ascoltarlo.

[sooterkin1]

So many people have ripped off this guy, it's disgusting.

[ectowle]

@sooterkin1 From what I understand, JJ preferred to write and enjoy a somewhat quiet life of quasi-anonymity. If you browse just a bit more, you will see him joined by those who played his music, and made much of it go "mainstream". Like Clapton, for instance... Not everyone is into the "Lime Light" .

[deweypm]

@sooterkin1 How so? Cale says he loves it when people cover his songs and admits it's the greatest form of flattery for a songwriter. He also makes a good bit of money from that. Certainly his "style" has influenced many of the greats and his personality is just as humble and laid back as his songs. I see nothing disgusting in that.

[johnmckinlay67]

So laid back he's horizontal...J.J. Cale ... The original Mr. COOOOOOOL

[DewInAnthem]

This a good version. David Lindley of Jackson Browne fame raises the bar on it. A lot.

[minneappleHack]

I'm a big groupie of Mr. Polyester, but JJ Cale's version of his own song is so much more haunting and authentic. Same goes for the God of guitar-I'd rather hear JJ Cale perform his songs. Like John Hiatt's songwriting, other amazing artists like Bonnie Raitt record a version of his song that appeals to the masses. Something for everybody's tastes.

[faunoram]

jj cale is super cool!!

[xwz25685]

cool cool

[Kandiklown]

JJ Cale I love you x

[Bluezking]

No matter what kindda music JJ performs it becomes his style.& I sure like it.JJ Cale is a legend.

[CrazyMaPopolski]

i spent time in tijuana. foreign, interesting and very dangerous town for "gringos" like we were..this song has a tijuana-feeling.

[TheLittleMiki]

Wow, I've been listening only guitars and the mood about 20 years. Should I listen lyrics too? There been enought for me in those areas all these years!

[CHAND73]

you lot shud stop taking life so seriously and enjoy the music muppets

[witchcerridwen]

i dont think working for nothing or almost nothing is funny at all.those people deserve a chance too.

[CHAND73]

what r u on about?

[louiseduvee]

What a show! Priceless.

[AngelMartinez91]

to the Kingdom called TIJUANA...

that's right i only disagree with

the part about working for a quarter

we are working people but we do not

let anyone humiliates us... (H)

By the way I'm from TJ 664

[adamndirtyshame]

oh shit im from TJ665, we just missed each other!!!

[yardbird9]

More funny and ironic than sad and serious. If it's so sad and serious, then why is tijuana romanticized, with "senoritas dancing in the moonlight"? You can't tell me that image is serious. Maybe tragic-comic or comic-tragic.

[yardbird9]

The lyrics are supposed to be funny and ironic guys.

[Leidivadder]

Ehm...no. Definetely not funny and ironic, i would rather say sad and serious.

[rudi2808]

Thats just awesome - he's got so much blues in this song!!! We like JJ Cale!

[nicegermany]

The whole album (Travel Log) is brillant!

[Ntrigme]

Thanks! I love Cale and this song.

[louiseduvee]

This is the ---what---'91 tour? He hadn't had an album out for a long time, like years. I followed him coast to coast til my car died. Thanks for posting.

[SAFENECTOMIA]

maybe i'm wrong, but i don'like the meaning of the song, . work for a quarter? cross de border ? that is not tijuana

[markino1963]

...in this dark night...the blues goin...jj ...i'm flyin

[rummelkevin74]

looking for jj cale bootlegs

[me1onhead]

Whats not to like about this song?

Moody. Simplistic. Atmospheric.

I LOVE IT!!

[mongelines]

I'm 25 and I have been loved this song since I was a child....

JJ Cale, the one, only The Best.

[Veihot]

The thing that makes it drip reality is his physical resemblance to both Sam Peckinpaw, and Warren Oates, ala "Bring Me the Head of Alfred Garcia," which also has a similar dark tone. It's those big sunglasses, and the salt-and-pepper beard.

[warpspeeed]

As others said before me this a TOP-5 Cale song.On the record there are some moments that

you're just waiting for his guitar to explode.

And his lyrics do have a political(?)spike.

But on this he coulb be a lot better...

[artsreb43]

It is a "dark Bloody tune" but it's REAL and has the "flavor" of the place. You have to have been there at night:)

[FWYam]

is it rock?

[mrDenHarrow]

Natürlich...

[markino1963]

how can you fuck make this stupid question....jesus this is poetry!

[Rippedntwisted]

dark bloody tune.

[Nucklearizare]

thi so nice :) song :X:X:X love it :)

[kingluros]

well although the quality and (I dunno if its JJ or the quality)the playing kind of suck...unfortunately, but the record on travel log (am I right?) is I think next to "Lies" THE cale-song

[warpspeeed]

Great!I would love to see a "mexican" trumpet

instead of a sax.Played a lot sharper in the record though -still one of his best 10 songs...

[doylie45]

I noticed that it was spelt "Tiajuana" in the Video caption and not "Tijuana" The first means "Aunt Juana"

[27o348]

J.J.Cale is one of the best for easy listening music, for many, many jears. A great poet and musician.

[jolandasterbloem]

prachtig nummer

[SMP14]

he is the best, this is one of his best songs too

[MissesJaneDoe]

J.J. Cale rocks!!

[stevie142]

Top notch song as always from j.j..(smile)

[DaveInCalgary]
