It doesn’t pay to know Eric Clapton.
He won a Grammy for his 2006 album with Clapton, called “The Road to Escondido.”

My favorite song from that CD
Eric Clapton & J.J. Cale - Heads In Georgia

Yeah also don’t forget Eric was fighting alcoholic problem when he did that song
Eric Clapner is not who validated J.J. Cale, except to those who follow the crowd following the propaganda of the media and music industry PR machine.
” I discovered JJ with a plastic record that came on a box of cereal back in 71-72”
I remember those . I wonder what the collector value of those would be.

I just meant to say that those who hang around with EC usually end up dead. But I guess in this case, JJ Cale was a victim of natural causes. I’m sorry about the music industry.
Well, Ginger and Jack are still around, aren’t they? But some others, yes, you’re right.
I think Ginger is the real Keith Richards in rocknroll, he’s indestructible. Jack? Death probably forgot who he was.
However, all those deaths and personal tragedies did nothing to make Clapner a better player, or a more distinctive stylist like our J.J. Cale.
