Customer Review Great American Blues - superb collection of JJ Cale For years I confused JJ Cale with John Cale who played with the Velvet Underground and decided I didn't need hear John Cale playing solo. OK - first this admission: I consider myself a longtime music fan but I was totally unfamiliar with JJ Cale until recently. Yes, I have deprived myself of years of some of the best American music produced in the last 35 years. I finally introduced myself to JJ Cale through "Road to Escondido" and then bought "To Tulsa and Back. " This is a very nice 3-CD set of great music spanning over 30 years of well-produced guitar-centered Americana. The music here is from the following albums: 1972 Naturally (6 songs) 1972 Really (3) 1974 Okie (4) 1976 Troubadour (5) 1979 Five (5) 1981 Shades (3) 1982 Grasshopper (5) 1983 #8 (4) 1990 Travel-Log (2) 1992 Number 10 (2) 1994 Closer to You (1) 1996 Guitar Man (2) 1997 Anyway the Wind Blosw (All 6 of the 'previously unrelased' tracks!) 2004 To Tulsa and Back (2) Includes 7 exclusive live tracks from the Dutch 2 Meter Sessie radio show and 3 live concert tracks from the mid-1990's. I'm not an audiophile so I won't comment on the audio quality but my the audio is crisp and clean throughout so my guess is that great care was taken in remastering this material. Hopefully, this will be widely available in the States soon. But don't wait - your will not be disappointed with this collection. . . You can see a complete list of all J.J.
