    How bizare, I was just about to take out his LP Troubadour to play it, when the phone rang and then I saw this.

    RIP J.J. Cale, thank you for your beautifull music.

    Ah, I was very bummed out when I heard this morning, more for his wife (who he obviously adored) than for him, really. His guitar playing was impeccably understated and has influenced me more than any other guitarist. These two fantastic songs are prime examples of his magic.
