[TwoTankAmin]

It just one song, not a whole album

 

[Back in the fold]

Is that a Lynyrd Skynyrd song ?

Thank you Wiki-

"Call Me the Breeze" is a rock song by J. J. Cale. It first appeared on his 1972 debut album, Naturally, as the opening track. The song consists of a 12-bar blues guitar shuffle and features the early use of a drum machine.

Like many Cale songs, "Call Me the Breeze" has been covered numerous times by an assortment of musicians, most notably Lynyrd Skynyrd on their albums Second Helping (1974) and the live disc One More from the Road (1976), Mason Proffit on their 1972 album Rockfish Crossing, Bobby Bare on his album Bobby Bare: The Country Store Collection (1988), Johnny Cash on his album Water from the Wells of Home (1988) with his son John Carter Cash, John Mayer on his 2013 album Paradise Valley, former Guns N' Roses guitarist and songwriter Izzy Stradlin' in 2016, and UK singer Alan Price on his 1977 album Two of a Kind with Rob Hoeke. Many of the cover versions available have been performed as tributes to Lynyrd Skynyrd. For example, Les Claypool covers it on his album Under the Influence: A Jam Band Tribute to Lynyrd Skynyrd.[1]

J Cale performed the song along with his longtime friend Eric Clapton, at Clapton's 2004 Crossroads Guitar Festival.[2] The version, featuring an extended guitar solo by Clapton, is included on the official Crossroads DVD released in late 2004.[3] Later, when Clapton got the news that Cale had died, he performed various tunes composed by JJ Cale for his 2013 Baloise Session concert, dedicating his performance to Cale.[4] For his 2014 tribute-album to JJ Cale, titled The Breeze: An Appreciation of JJ Cale, Clapton covered the song with the original drum machine sound at the beginning, saying it's not possible to really cover Cale's work: "You can hear the drum machine and JJ rambling at the beginning there".[5] His take on the song was released under the title "They Call Me the Breeze" as a promotional single on June 30, 2014 for Surfdog and Polydor Records, accessible via digital music download.[6]

When my kids were just walking they loved to dance with me in the living room to JJ. Great music.

I was very lucky to be young when I was. I remember the first record player my parents had, it played 78 rpm. I became a teenager in 1961. My very first rock concert was Jimi Hendrix. In the 1070s I was a partner in a sound co. and we did a lot of college shows. And then there were a shows I went to- the Dead, The Stones, Steppenwolf, The Kinks, Little Feat, Jethro Tull, Donald Byrd and the Blackbyrds, Doc amd Merle Watson, Canned heat, The Ohio Players, Sha Na Na, The Rhinestones, NRBQ.... phew thereare more but this old brain need to slow down.

I was fortunate enough to see a show put on by Murray the K at the RKO theater in New York. It was the first US appearance of the cream and The Who. Mitch Ryder and the Detroit Wheels also played. A few years later I saw the goodbye concert for the cream at Madison Square Garden. I also saw the Beatles at Shea Stadium. Jimi Hendrix, Jethro Tull yes. The Jefferson airplane, three times. The mothers of invention. Janice Joplin. The Chambers Brothers. Led Zeppelin. The list goes on. It was a wild time.

I spent the summer of 1966 between high school and college in a program to study Spanish at the Univrtist of the Andes in Bogota Colombia. After the school session I and a friend flew to Cartgena for a week then took a bus and spent a week in Santa Marta where they grow the gold. Things were much more fun after that. I went to college and into all that music.

"Get Yer Ya-Ya's Out!: The Rolling Stones in Concert is the second live album by the Rolling Stones, released on 4 September 1970 on Decca Records in the UK and on London Records in the United States. It was recorded in New York City and Baltimore in November 1969 prior to the release of Let It Bleed.:

I was at that Baltimore Show. I was living in Fairfax, VA. We had 18 seats- 12 in one row and 6 in the row behind.

I don't think there is any way to explain that era. It was a party for sure. Chamber's Brothers = TIME! I do not do this often. But I posted for years on another site. It is now very slow maybe a few dozen active people. But, on July 11, 2019 on that site in the General Chit Chat sub-forum I started a thread titled, Music from my generation

It is now 33 pages long and there is a ton of music from YouTube. some of the links are probably dead, but a lot are there. Some of it is more recent but by artist around for a long time and some is a bit newer. Things I stumbled onto and thought were worth including. This was my initial post:

I am over 70. I lived though some of the greatest music made. For most here you have likely never heard the stuff I will post. Listen or not as you choose. You will likely enjoy some things. I will post more over time and if people listen I will keep adding and it they don't I will stop. let me start with something not so old but which most people may not even know existed. There is an organization called Playing for Change which produces and records some very neat stuff. I have to play this one every few months. It helps keep me sane in a world that has gone mostly crazy

I have been listening to Ry Cooder since the early 1970s. He is still going strong. The song below is from a performance on 3-31-16.
Play it in high Def. and feel free to dance out loud........

That JJ Cale album was one of my favourites when I was around 13. To me, lot a lot of music from that era hasn't stood the test of time, but I still put that one on sometimes.
