Beschreibung
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).
The most comprehensive book about J.J. Cale worldwide; written in the exciting style of a fact-based novel by a renowned author of music books who is a successful musician in the blues, folk and laid-back genres and is therefore able to write about J.J. Cale highly competently and insightfully. A book full of passion and expertise – and also a refreshing contrast to the insubstantial AI books that are currently in circulation...
