Roll On, JJ Cale's first solo CD of new material in
nearly five years is set for release February 24, 2009 on Rounder Records.
Rock & roll is an unforgiving profession. We eat our young, disregard the old and always want more of everything. Aging gracefully while remaining relevant in the rock game is the hardest trick of all, and JJ Cale might be doing it better than anyone.
“I remember when I made my first album [1972’s Naturally], I was 32 or 33-years-old and I thought I was way too old then,” laughs Cale. “When I see myself doing this at 70, I go, ‘What am I doing, I should be layin’ down in a hammock.’”
For some, music is a hobby, or if they’re lucky a job or a passion; for JJ Cale it’s not even a choice: music is all he’s ever known. He’s a lifer. Born John Weldon Cale in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, the guitarist, singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, producer and engineer has been doing this for over fifty years and on February 24, 2009, Rounder Records will release Roll On, Cale’s sixteenth album. Comprised of 12 new songs, including the previously unreleased title track recorded with Eric Clapton, Roll On is Cale’s first batch of new solo material since 2004’s To Tulsa and Back and comes on the heels of his gold selling (platinum overseas) 2006 collaboration with Eric Clapton, The Road to Escondido, which also earned Cale his first Grammy®.

Hej där mr Cale, it was good to get to "know you" a little better...I have resently been watching the documentary To Tulsa And Back, a film by Jörg Bundschuh, That's really something for all devoted fans of you to watch!!
Hi, I’m so glad we have become friends! I would love to hear your comments on my new single “Its gonna turn” It would mean a lot to me, thanks again for your friendship! Hope to see you down the road
Hey man, I appreciate y’r acceptance. I already asked y’r friendship as ‘Satur9 Wonderer’ but this is my musical Space. It’s true I learnt to play the blues licks by playin’ along with your #8 vinyl record, back in 1983-84. Every single song on it has this gentle power. But it counts for anything u make, like “Roll On”.
Even a one-chord-song like “Anyway The Wind Blows” sounds brilliant. It’s one of my habits to sit in my garden in the Summer time listening to your songs :-)
U’ve got this modest away-from-the-spotlights-attitude while u’re a giant !
Dude, Thanks so much for the add ! I've been a fan of you for a long time now. Any chance of coming back to Nashville in the near future for a gig ? Roll On !
Dear Master J J, I 'm so proud that you accept my "invitation" Since I was a teen (a long time ago, of course), I loved your Music... You're Great and we love you "Move and Lusic" upon the Oceans
