J.J.Cale - Anyway The Wind Blows: The Anthology
MP3 | 192 kbps | 155 min | 100 MB + 102,5 MB
A two-disc,
50-track anthology covering the whole of J.J. Cale's career in vividly
remastered sound, ANYWAY THE WIND BLOWS is a textbook example of how to
assemble a good single-artist anthology. Focusing equally on all
periods of Cale's career--not hard, since the man is nothing if not
consistent--the compilation functions equally well as a greatest hits
collection for the casual fan, and a balanced introduction for the
novice.More importantly, there's enough previously unreleased
material--five high-quality tracks, including a cooking live take on
"Wish I Had Me a Dollar"--to appeal to diehard fans without
unnecessarily overloading the set with obscurities for obscurity's
sake. This is simply the most seductive collection of Americana you
could hope to own.J.J.Cale drifted across the canvas of popular music
for 30 years,defying fads and record company executives..he
defied,sometimes to his own detriment,the advice of others..but always
remained true to his own path.Whether you're a longtime fan of the
Tulsa-based guitarist or if you only know him through the Eric Clapton
covers (the originals of "After Midnight" and "Cocaine" are both
included here), you'll enjoy ANYWAY THE WIND BLOWS. Yes J.J. has
influenced the likes of Clapton, Mark Knopfler, Santana, and Lynard
Skynard, but their renditions of his songs only scratch at the essence
of the mans music. If you haven't yet fallen under the spell of J.J.
Cale, it's about time, and you now have thirty years of enchanting
grooves at your fingertips. You don't so much listen to this music, as
slowly, subconsciously, you are pulled into the being of it. For
starters, put on Durango. Sit back... relax... close your eyes... let
the sensuous textures, carefully revealed intricacies, percolate up
through finely woven tapestries of sound, to permeate your atmosphere
until all becomes one... free... floating in pleasure... romanced into
ecstacy... you have now been seduced by J.J. Cale.
