Product Description
From Amazon.com
As best-of collections go, this one is uncommonly understated. Which is probably appropriate given that the singer/songwriter it celebrates is one of the most taciturn rock & rollers to ever saunter down a dusty road. Decades into a career that has produced more commercial success than one might suppose, Cale's Very Best consists of one disc; outtakes and rarities padding a second disc don't fit Cale's less-is-more aesthetic. There's no essay elevating the Oklahoman as a great blues-rock pathfinder, though Eric Clapton and Dire Straits are among the platinum performers who owe him a debt; just musician credits and a modest dedication from Cale adorn the booklet. (Hey, at least the camera-shy Cale sat still for a photo shoot!) As for the music, this 20-song CD consists of a representative selection of hits for himself ("Crazy Mama" and "Lies" charted early in his career) and his partisans (Clapton scored with "Cocaine" and "After Midnight," while Lynyrd Skynyrd made "Call Me the Breeze" a concert staple). The case could easily be made that Cale deserves something a bit more ambitious than this unambiguous overview, but who's going to make the case for the man? Not low-profile J.J., that's for sure. --Steven Stolder

Grows on You,
By Bobby Eff (Atlanta, GA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: J.J. Cale The definitive collection (Audio CD)
Bought this album as I like the Texas singers/songwriters and this was recommended to me. The first time I heard the album, I thought it was okay, but after subsequent listenings, the songs have grown on me and I find myself playing it more and more. Like one of the other reviewers said, its a great album to have on while you are doing things, like grilling out, working on the car, etc. Nice bluesy, laidback record. Smoooooth guitar playing.

Just Good Music,
By A Customer
This review is from: J.J. Cale The definitive collection (Audio CD)
This is great Saturday afternoon music. I have played it at various times while doing work around the house, when company was over, etc. Everyone I've played it for loved it - even/especially the people who didn't know who J.J. Cale was. I'm having fun with this CD!
