This is one of the most genuine interviews with a superstar musician I have ever seen. It’s clear that Clapton’s genuine love for Cale and his music is hugely meaningful for him, and the interviewer feels the same way. Fun to watch and lots of great stories and insights.

I had the pleasure of playing 2 sets w/J J Cale at Liberty Lunch in Austin Texas in the early 80's. He was coming of stage after sound check and I had the gall to ask if I could sit in with him. He said "Sure". I could not believe it! He didn't know me from Adam and had no idea if I could pay a lick. During "Mama Don't Allow" he said "I don't know who this guy in the red beret is but he's good!" I have it recorded. One of the highlights of my musical life, for sure.

@@YYZed12 Well for The Bee Gees it's because Eric's the one who recommended them to go and make an album in America, get Americanized and be influenced by American artists instead of just staying in England since The Bee Gees hadn't had an even decently popular record in years. It lead to The Bee Gees huge disco era, Saturday Night Fever and all that. Me Personally I absolutely love that era of them but hey it's not for everyone. Even then though. Even if you don't love it you can't say he destroyed them when he just simply recommended them to record in a different country.

JJ Cale I never knew about. I do now through Eric. A missed opportunity on my part. Both JJ and Eric passionate about their music both blessed with talent which got better with maturity. RIP JJ Cale I am honoured to have seen you and heard you on the tracks played on U Tube. Thank you Eric for being Eric.

I first heard of J.J. , or better, read about him in a Dutch music magazine, that had a section in it, reviewing records, and were raving about “Naturally”… I bought the record, and have been a fan ever since. I was 11… the year was 1976. About 15 years later, I heard Clapton in an interview, saying how Cale helped him fight his musical ‘demons’ , and it hit me again, how influential JJ must have been. The thing is, you can hear that in his music. Clapton calmed down, I think, and his records showed that. ‘The Breeze’ is a fitting tribute, from a friend, to a friend… with friends. It shows what a man JJ was. A simple , monumental, musician, friend, man. I only have one regret… I never got to see him live…

I recall seeing JJ years ago in a small pub in Dallas, TX. I was waiting in line outside, waiting for the door to open. I could look through a large window and see JJ standing on a tiny stage, doing a sound check and tuning his guitar. He gazed out that window with a look in his eyes that said, “Wow, all those people came to see me?” JJ Cale- the funkiest white boy that ever lived.

I never realized by all the radio play your covers of John got, that you were not going for the fame. It is so sobering to see that you are as much a fan of the mystery of the sound that JJCale wielded. I still listen to naturally and am amazed every time at the subtle way his fingers touch the strings. It is so personal, it speaks to my heart from his heart. I had every song i could get my hands on of JJCale, over the years and nearly every song is imprinted upon my memory.

what a nice tribute to JJ Cale! A kind, loving and honest tribute. It seems he was a man who knew himself . Just a comment ...about "people seem not to want to know about the music of the past"(Eric) Is it because when one is young, one wants the New, the Exciting, the stuff that breaks a barrier? I am now nearly 65 and I remember poo-pooing Frank Sinatra, Buddy Holly,and others.."gimme Led Zep, Strawbs,Santana, JJ Cale, Joni mitchell!" and other ground breakers of my time , but now, I listen to the original blues artists and find myself enjoying THEIR rawness, THEIR ground breaking stuff of THEIR time, because I somehow feel there is true soul there.I think maybe its an age thing, as we grow older we look back possibly more than we look forward (for whatever reason) but i remember JJ Cale was talked about, but never at the top yet we all had the LPs. a lovely sensitive interview. thankyou.

The point of listening to music is feeling that joy and mystery of playing and creating. Guys like Eric Clapton are who they are because they share their respect and enthusiasm for the people and their creations involved with those things that they love. "I'm just a messenger. I've always felt like that's my job." That's when he hit the nail on the head and said that he hoped people would hear what he obviously loves and check out where he got it from. There are still a number of us out here in the world Eric. We do care and we do listen and learn. More importantly, we appreciate it too.

I dicovered JJ in the early 80's. Everytime I played his albums someone would say, who is that? All my friends became JJCale fans.

First time I heard J.J. Cale was in 1976. I sat listening to 'Naturally' in it's entirety ~ completely blown away by the smooth coolness that the man exhibited. I was never once tempted to pick up my guitar and play along, because for all of his simplicity of technique, there were no pockets for me to fit anything into, which seems very odd, still. It remains one of my favourite albums to enjoy when I want to get into a laid back mood.

A great interview. More like a conversation between two friends than an interview as such. You can see how both of them have so much love and respect for J J Cale. I've been a huge fan ever since I heard the opening bars of "Lies" from J J's second album at a friend's house back in 1972. I bought all his early records and more recently enjoyed the DVD he made called "To Tulsa And Back". I'd never heard the Lynyrd Skynyrd version of "Call Me The Breeze" but have fond memories of Captain Beefheart's version of J J's "Same Old Blues" on his "Moonbeams And Bluejeans" album.

It's very nice to see Clapton open up and bring us along on his journey . It appeared there were at least 4 cameras rolling, so the multiple nodding 'cut aways' of the interviewer were oddly intrusive and avoidable. But thanks for getting a great insight into Clapton's soul .

I've always liked some of Clapton's songs but was never a fan, as soon as I found out 2 of them were JJ's - I started listening to him and a massive JJ fan ever since ♥
