Album Notes & Community Reviews

Continuing his legacy of incredibly laid-back, groove-driven Americana, J.J. Cale modernizes his distinctive 'Tulsa Sound' by incorporating drum machines and subtle synthesizers on this release. The album remains profoundly mellow, anchored by his whispered vocals and fluid, bluesy guitar lines.
