LOL!!! Yeah, I just don't see what all the hype is about.

Tom Petty...probably his highest chart placing for 30yrs im guessing?
the Clapton one might be worth a listen...
Weekly Billboard Album Chart - Ruby - 08-08-2014
Iâve listened to The Breeze - cool title. Be interesting to hear anyone elseâs opinions â this is mine!
On the face of it, it seems a fitting tribute to JJ Cale â the artists are all polished and accomplished â Clapton does a perfect take and Mark Knopfler puts his stamp firmly down on a couple of tracks, which I actually prefer to a very faithful reproduction â more interesting. I thought John Mayer stood out too, and Iâm not one of his followers. Willie Nelson gives it a fair amount of stick and Iâm not a follower of his either, but I think itâs time to take it easy now Willie! They all did a great job so itâs weird that, for me, it just misses capturing the essence of JJ Cale and the listening becomes a bit monotonous â I wonder if âpolishedâ is the clue â not fuzzy enough? A bit too slick, or maybe thatâs just what big, warm, lazy laidback sounds do. Iâm gonna go get out Troubadour and 5 to check. Havenât heard those in a long while!

great analysis/description Ruby....
you should have posted this as a "new album release" post in the relevant genre thread IMO...!

Here's JJ Cale by JJ Cale (and his Tulsa buddy Leon Russell)--this stands tall near 40 years later. Makes for good comparison material, don't you think? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IaHxPi9dM7o << always been a huge fan of both. Here's a Leon album that may have escaped your attention and one that raised Brother Leon from-self imposed oblivion (no idea why he did that to himself). One of Elton's best in years too: http://www.allmusic.com/album/the-union-mw0002026440

Thanks CRAZY-HORSE - didn't even think about doing that. Maybe next time - if I'm brave enough!
I did listen to Troubadour and 5, and thoroughly enjoyed them - great to revisit. I suppose one of the spin-offs of the tribute album might be to send people back to the original. That would be a good thing.
