J.J. Cale - Lean On Me (Rare, Live)

[@migueljaramillo6727]

I can not describe this musician... His artistry goes beyond the rules. He influenced EVERYBODY since the 70's untill the end of times. No fire crackers, no huge stages, no make up, justo he, his guitar and his amazing talent. Thank you God for let us know J. J. Cale

[@youareveryundude]

8 billion people, but only one JJ Cale: he showed us what really matters in music: soul, emotion, groove, warmth - RIP

Changed my(our) minds as well Neal...RIP Casal. Will never forget Colorado with you guys

[@sandradunn6943]

I love everything he did

[@MrJohnHoz]

JJ is in a league of his own. There will never be another like him. JJ FOREVER! 💙

[@edgar115]

JJ Cale finds a place in your soul that few artists can, I think. So simple, and so pure...he is truly an American treasure and the real deal...a man and his guitar

[@lisaweaver986]

Agreed! He battled much into it. But so gave prolific.

[@byrontalley6934]

An artist at the top of his work and knows what sounds write

[@georgeparasxakis4774]

He is not only american treasure ......is also a greek treasure.....in analogy with our population he has the same number of funs......

Again I say, his understated slow burn blues style is the best. True brilliance.

[@temperhollow7716]

Very evident that he influenced Dire Straits in a big way. Such a rare and beautiful talent.

or the other way around ?

[@eric108]

Love this artist. So low-key and underappreciated. His style is so chill and classy, I absolutely love him.

[@tzleague]

What a wonderful down-to-earth person. His music has been among my favorite for 40+ years. Here is a guy who just made music -- NEVER hyped himself -- just titled a few albums with numbers -- 5, 8 etc. Listened to Borrowed Time a lil while ago. Rest in Peace JJ --- So much wonderful music you gave us all.

[@johnjeffery6638]

He did sell after midnight to a Miller genuine commercial though in like 87 or 88... no biggie- he didnt need the money just wanted to be exposed to a wider influence.😊😊😊

[@cindymillergirl3537]

This song makes me cry. If only we all had someone to lean on. I love JJ Cale.

[@gimmeshelter1969]

JJ Cale is my #1 antidote to the banalities of everyday living. I just loved this guy and his very talented little friend Christine.

[@wanderkunstler]

Yes, Christine

[@lastnamefirst4035]

Little talented friend Christine was JJ's wife

[@LindsaHausman]

J J 's music makes me feel like I still have a soul ❤️

[@brucecraigie4759]

I first heard JJ Cale in Scotland in the early 70s, been a life long fan ever since. Music for the soul R I P

[@PorscheHarry]

You're so putting it right: touching the soul, for me since 1986 and his live appearance in 1994

[@ForTheDelta444]

i was in a jjcale tribute band in glasgow early 2000 very late 90s

[@PatrickTreloar]

The rougher the track, the cooler the vibe ;) just how does he do that? Sublime yes !

[@wingandaprayer]

that sums up my approach to music, listening and playing..smooth just doesn't hit the spot...

[@xplorer3475]

It's because the music is there, even before it's played with instruments. The principle is fantastic by itself and it'll work even with other instruments, other musicians .... JJ Cale just makes this music itself shine by playing it rough. he plays with this constrat to show you that whatever the way it's played it'll work, and that's magic. But ..... His sound and feel is wonderful anyway. That's an eternal song. John Lennon described this phenomenon very well.

[@iansing5278]

The integrity of his being.

[@iansing5278]

The integrity of his being!

[@peterlloyd5285]

just how does he do that? I've been puzzling over that for years.

[@freedomhasaprice9946]

Luckily I was able to see J.J. Cale 2 times. About the most relaxed, humble and talented musician I ever saw. Can't even begin to say how much I miss this guy. His songs will live on in my soul forever.

[@PrinceKlutz]

This is the stuff!! It reaches down into your soul, grabs your heart, and you're a devotee forever.

[@rickeyneuwirth7606]

This kind of music you can get transported to any to a place. Where you you can’t reach with today’s

[@philipclaasen1957]

Man - As far as I know you passed away when Jagger turned 70. Such different styles but you know how to cut to the bone with your combo of Tulsa and easy jazz. Your music will live on.

[@robertbloom1637]

i just discovered him months ago,,,i heard of him..but i listen to him now every day....every song swings !! and the beat....pure ego less love of thythm harmony melody;;;this cat rules....sublime....every time...he is my medicine

[@migueljaramillo6727]

This guy is a GENIOUS!!! PERIOD.

[@lindaschmidt27]

Awesome song.....takes me on a long drive on an endless highway...

[@GulfSouthGene]

JJ Cale, could put the feel in the song, words, meaning, and make it a musical experience you would not forget. You would find yourself days later, singing his songs in you head.

[@gkirozal4846]

Got that right! I've had Crazy Mama spinnin' around on the jukebox in my head forever!

[@davidprone3480]

The partial fade out, and fade in, is great. The back and forth quality. He really knew what he was doing.

[@thewitchesgarden3936]

he is always was and always will be the cult classic hero, the dude in the desert playing to the stars, not for money, not for fame.....love you JJ

[@robertm2000]

Entirely true! JJ Cale is my musical hero. If he ever did use synths (and I seem to remember a few recordings that he did use them on) you can bet they fit in just right!

[@jjiacobucci]

Absolutely ! His honesty and genuineness can be heard throughout the song. Very few like JJ !

[@freedomhasaprice9946]

you said that beautifully !

[@bomhauer]

saw him in 81, 86, 89. Under appreciated. I just wonder how many other JJ Cales are out there I've never heard. Probably very few.

J.J. made music that went forward with confidence even in a sad song. To make music simple and not dork it up is hard. To make music that lasts takes some one like J.J. Cale.

[@stevemiller9837]

The unsung hero, ty brotha JJ Cale. Guys like this do all the leg work and the rest capabilities off him. That's how it goes. JJ cale once said greatest thing for a song writer is when other ppl play your music. I guess everybody wins. 🤷

[@davidbrewer7021]

Travel Log is his best album !

[@johnking6960]

Really hard to describe the feelings he brings out in me. As real as it gets. Overwhelming influence on me, separating over done and just done. He has not been nearly recognized as an American icon. Because of his beliefs. He will be an icon to me. Canadian boy.

[@KerouacsAccomplice]

What beliefs might those have been which you refer to?

Eric Clapton recognized how important to American music J.J. was and tried to tell the world about him. We should have already known.

[@steelyman08]

Eric Clapton also commended JJ Cale for keeping such a low profile and not even wanting success & fame. I think that's what kept him so real ~ just doing his thing.

[@GERARDAUGUST]

Wow, great upload - JJ Cale is an amazing artist/songwriter !

[@JamesLastovich]

+Mark Vanbuylen Is't J.J. one of the greats? He frequently plays on my programs. I've been on the search for his stuff for a while. His voice and picking are the bomb.

[@GERARDAUGUST]

James Lastovich For me, yes, he's one of the greatest. I think for most of the artists, like Clapton, Dylan or Knopfler, he is as well. I heard him for the first time when I was 15 with "Cocaine" -
