 | | Description: | Amerikanischer Gitarrist, Sänger, Songwriter und Tontechniker, einer der Begründer des Tulsa-Sounds; J.J. Cale. â??Really" wurde von Audie Ashworth produziert, dem besten Produzenten, den Cale je hatte, und der wusste, wann er den Aufnahmeknopf drücken musste, um all die magischen Momente auf Band zu bannen. Zum Beispiel die ebenso zurückhaltende wie intensive Gitarrenarbeit und das scheinbar nonchalante Singen von Zeilen wie "You get your gun, I'll get mine" mit entwaffnender Lässigkeit. So entstand ein Sound mit viel Drive und einem rohen, intimen Vibe für sein zweites Studioalbum. - Cale's sophomore album from 1971 was a logical successor to his outstanding debut. Cale's laid back style was widely appreciated, as evidenced by the radio success of "Lies". This album was recorded in Nashville and at the famed Muscle Shoals Studios in Alabama. Backing musicians include Roger Hawkins, Barry Beckett, David Hood, Charlie McCoy, Norbert Putnam (who would later produce Dan Fogelberg), Vasser Clements and more."Really" is a CD reissue of J.J. Cale's classic early-1970s album, offering a warm blend of laid-back blues, country, roots rock and subtle jazz influences. Typical for Cale's work of this era, the songs are built around understated grooves, relaxed tempos and his signature "Tulsa sound": dry, unpretentious guitar tones, discreet rhythm sections and a smoky, almost murmured vocal delivery. The production favors intimacy over spectacle, making the record feel like a private session in a small studio rather than a polished mainstream product. Lyrically, the album moves between down-to-earth storytelling and simple, direct emotions about everyday life, relationships and the restless American landscape. As a whole, "Really" is ideal for listeners who appreciate organic, timeless songwriting and a mellow atmosphere that works both as attentive listening and as a smooth backdrop for late evenings.
J.J. Cale is regarded as one of the most influential yet discreet figures in American roots music. While he often stayed out of the spotlight, his songwriting and guitar style left a strong mark on rock and blues; artists like Eric Clapton and Dire Straits have cited him as a key influence, and several of his songs became international hits in cover versions, helping to cement his reputation as a musician's musician. Cale's success is defined less by chart positions and more by the lasting respect he enjoys among fellow artists and devoted fans worldwide, who value his minimalist, groove-oriented approach.
