J.J. Cale Artist Snapshot:

With his laconic voice, concise guitar playing, and subtly incisive songwriting, in the early 1970s J.J. Cale was the main architect of what would come to be known as the Tulsa sound, named for his Oklahoma hometown. Cale's laid-back mix of country, blues, and rock & roll was a huge influence on Eric Clapton, who had major hits with Cale songs. Everyone from British rockers Gomez to American jam band Widespread Panic pays homage to Cale's understated style, but it's best experienced on the humble legend's own solo releases, which unfortunately became more sporadic after the reclusive guitar guru went into semi-retirement.

Review

Rolling Stone (3/2/72, p.57) - "...This quiet and leisurely album from an excellent guitarist, vocalist and songwriter is a charmer...one of the most enjoyable debut albums in some time..."

Title Note

Personnel: J.J. Cale (vocals, guitar); Mac Gayden (slide guitar); Weldon Myrick (steel guitar); Walter Haynes (dobro); Shorty Lavender, Buddy Spicher (fiddle); Ed Colis (harmonica); David Briggs (piano, organ); Jerry Whitehurst, Bob Wilson (piano); Norbert Putnam, Tim Drummond, Carl Radle (bass instrument); Karl Himmel, Chuck Browning (drums); Diane Davidson (background vocals).

Recording information: Moss Rose Studio, Nashville, Tennessee (09/29/1970 - 09/30/1970); Bradley's Barn, Juliet, Tennessee (10/02/1970 - 10/04/1970).

NATURALLY has stood up over the years as a perfect debut. When released in 1971, it introduced J.J. Cale's rootsy, laid back grooves to excellent effect, and in the decades since, this album and its follow-up, REALLY, have remained classics of mellow '70s country-rock. Riding on the success and easy blues feel of Eric Clapton's cover of Cale's "After Midnight," NATURALLY goes even deeper into roots music, concocting a mixture of country, blues, and boogie that is full of downhome goodness while it drips with cool.

Cale's version of "After Midnight" is here, as is his loping "Call Me the Breeze" (later covered by Lynyrd Skynyrd), and the minimal blues "Crazy Mama" (a radio hit for Cale). The music is deceptively tricky--the surface textures pull you in like a porch swing, but the interlocking rhythmic base is full of subtle tugs and pulls that are far from standard-issue slow boogie. A sterling cast of players backs Cale, adding warm tones and light, in-the-cut rhythms. NATURALLY is a perfect introduction to the work of this influential cult figure.
