Eric Clapton wasn’t just the late JJ Cale’s highest profile musical admirer, he was arguably responsible for keeping Cale financially stable and professionally active through his hit covers of Cale’s “After Midnight” and “Cocaine.” Clapton also invited him to participate in his Crossroads Guitar Festival and most notably in 2006, recorded a collaborative album with both their names sharing headline status.
It’s impossible to fault Clapton’s good intentions and tunes such as John Mayer’s breathy take on the lovely “Magnolia” and Tom Petty’s tough “Rock and Roll Records” are more than adequate covers of already great songs. But not surprisingly, the originals are better. They are all easily available and remain the standard for a true appreciation of JJ Cale.
