I feel extremely fortunate to have interviewed J.J. Cale a couple of times during the legendary songwriter’s lifetime.
The first time was back in 1990, when he was touring behind his first album on the Silvertone label, Travel-Log, which featured the incredible James Burton on guitar.
It was Cale’s first album in seven years, so at one point in the conversation I asked him what the wait was all about.
Have a listen:
When the interview wound to a close I asked J.J. what his plans were when the tour was over, if he was gonna take some more time off, and in his famously laidback fashion he declared: “There’s no hurry.”
Have another listen:
Man I love J.J. Cale.
