JJ Cale........................After Midnight.............................Cocaine
Nice to be able to go back to trust and friendship!!!!!!!!!
It's a mixed up sensation this being alive
Oh! it wears a man down into the ground
It's the strangest elation
I can't describe it
Oh it leaves a man weary
It makes a man frown..............................Chris Simpson ( "Mixed Up Sensations" 1975 Martin's Cafe )

I've just read Clapton's autobiog, and his love for Cale shines through loud & clear.
I wouldn't want too many Cale albums, as he can be a little samey, but I love his Troubadour album.

Like Robert Cray's stuff. And JJ Cale's '5' is brilliant.
