+----------------------------------[Notes]-----------------------------------+
|                                                                            |
|  Notorious for his laid-back, rootsy style, J.J. Cale is best known for    |
|  writing "After Midnight" and "Cocaine," songs that Eric Clapton later     |
|  made into hits. But Cale's influence wasn't only through songwriting -    |
|  his distinctly loping sense of rhythm and shuffling boogie became the     |
|  blueprint for the adult-oriented roots rock of Clapton and Mark           |
|  Knopfler, among others. Cale's refusal to vary the sound of his music     |
|  over the course of his career caused some critics to label him as a one   |
|  -trick pony, but he managed to build a dedicated cult following with his  |
|  sporadically released recordings.                                         |
|                                                                            |
|  Born in Oklahoma City but raised in Tulsa, OK, Cale played in a variety   |
|  of rock & roll bands and Western swing groups as a teenager, including    |
|  one outfit that also featured Leon Russell. In 1959, at the age of 21,    |
|  he moved to Nashville, where he was hired by the Grand Ole Opry's         |
|  touring company. After a few years, he returned to Tulsa, where he        |
|  reunited with Russell and began playing local clubs. In 1964, Cale and    |
|  Russell moved to Los Angeles with another local Oklahoma musician, Carl   |
|  Radle.                                                                    |
|                                                                            |
|  Shortly after he arrived in Los Angeles, Cale began playing with Delaney  |
|  and Bonnie. He only played with the duo for a brief time, beginning a     |
|  solo career in 1965. That year, he cut the first version of "After        |
|  Midnight," which would become his most famous song. Around 1966, Cale     |
|  formed the Leathercoated Minds with songwriter Roger Tillison. The group  |
|  released a psychedelic album called A Trip Down Sunset Strip the same     |
|  year.                                                                     |
|                                                                            |
|  Deciding that he wouldn't be able to forge a career in Los Angeles, Cale  |
|  returned to Tulsa in 1967. Upon his return, he set about playing local    |
|  clubs. Within a year, he had recorded a set of demos. Radle obtained a    |
|  copy of the demos and forwarded it to Denny Cordell, who was founding a   |
|  record label called Shelter with Leon Russell. Shelter signed Cale in     |
|  1969. The following year, Eric Clapton recorded "After Midnight," taking  |
|  it to the American Top 20 and thereby providing Cale with needed          |
|  exposure and royalties. In December 1971, Cale released his debut album,  |
|  Naturally, on Shelter Records; the album featured the Top 40 hit "Crazy   |
|  Mama," as well as a re-recorded version of "After Midnight," which        |
|  nearly reached the Top 40, and "Call Me the Breeze," which Lynyrd         |
|  Skynyrd later covered. Cale followed Naturally with Really, which         |
|  featured the minor hit "Lies," later that same year.                      |
|                                                                            |
|  Following the release of Really, J.J. Cale adopted a slow work schedule,  |
|  releasing an album every other year or so. Okie, his third album,         |
|  appeared in 1974. Two years later, he released Troubadour, which yielded  |
|  "Hey Baby," his last minor hit, as well as the original version of        |
|  "Cocaine," a song that Clapton would later cover. By this point, Cale     |
|  had settled into a comfortable career as a cult artist and he rarely      |
|  made any attempt to break into the mainstream. One more album on Shelter  |
|  Records, 5, appeared in 1979 and then he switched labels, signing with    |
|  MCA in 1981. MCA only released one album (1981's Shades) and Cale moved   |
|  to Mercury Records the following year, releasing Grasshopper.             |
|                                                                            |
|  In 1983, Cale released his eighth album, 8. The album became his first    |
|  not to chart. Following its release, Cale left Mercury and entered a      |
|  long period of seclusion, reappearing in late 1990 with Travel Log,       |
|  which was released on the British independent label Silvertone; the       |
|  album appeared in America the following year. 10 was released in 1992.    |
|  The album failed to chart, but it re-established his power as a cult      |
|  artist. He moved to the major label Virgin in 1994, releasing Close to    |
|  You the same year. It was followed by Guitar Man in 1996. Cale returned   |
|  to recording in 2003, releasing To Tulsa and Back in 2004 on the          |
|  Sanctuary label and The Road to Escondido, a collaborative effort with    |
|  Clapton, in 2006 on Reprise.                                              |
