Overview

He is considered one of the most influential songwriters of the 20th century, founder of the Tulsa sound, forerunner of the Americana concept, pioneer of the ""laid-back"" brand. Admired by stars such as Eric Clapton, Mark Knopfler, Tom Petty, Johnny Cash, Carlos Santana and Neil Young, J.J. Cale (1938 - 2013) left behind an invaluable legacy: global hits such as Cocaine, After Midnight and Call Me The Breeze, a unique guitar style and an inimitable vocal aesthetic. His life's work is gigantic, yet he remained a quiet master. Blues musician, Swiss Blues Award winner and author Richard Koechli writes a stirring book about J.J. Cale's music and career, about the myths that surround him, the historical context and the philosophy of musical restraint. The book is accompanied by Koechli's successful tribute album ""The Real Chill, Remembering J.J."" for free download (the album has received excellent reviews from J.J. Cale's inner circle and has been streamed more than 6 million times since 2020).
