Clapton has often stated that JJ Cale is one of the single most important figures in rock history, a sentiment echoed by many of his fellow musicians. Cale’s influence on Clapton was profound, and his influence on many more of today’s artists cannot be overstated.
To honor JJ’s legacy, a year after his passing, Clapton gathered a group of like-minded friends and musicians. With performances by Clapton, Mark Knopfler, John Mayer, Willie Nelson, Tom Petty, Derek Trucks, Albert Lee, David Lindley, Doyle Bramhall II, Greg Leisz and others, the album features 16 Cale songs and is named for the 1972 single “Call Me The Breeze.”
“I would like people to tap into what JJ Cale did – that’s the point. I’m just the messenger; I’ve always felt that that’s my job. I try to interpret things so that the public at large, or at least the people who listen to what I do, will become intrigued about where I got it from,” said Clapton.
