Eric Clapton discusses J.J. Cale and the song "Golden Ring"

A trove of previously unreleased songs recorded by American music icon J.J. Cale during his early, and arguably most influential, years will at long last be released. Featuring vintage tracks from Cale's legendary tenures at Shelter Records and Mercury Records, Rewind: Unreleased Recordings' will be in stores on October 2nd.

On this clip Eric Clapton explains for what occasion he wrote the song "Golden Ring" and how excited he was that J.J. Cale recorded it after Eric himself had been so successful with his renditions of Cale's "After Midnight" and "Cocaine." A good part of this until now unreleased song is played with on screen lyrics after which Cale states that it was not just a payback to Eric Clapton, because he (Cale) truly loves the song.

I have to agree! That's why I didn't rate this video. If I heard the song without knowing who sings it,I'd have doubt that's JJC. The story behind the song is stupid as well.

Well, JJs version of the song sounds JUST like Eric Clapton, which is too bad for us JJ Cale fans.
