Discovered quite by chance: this very surprising and versatile Tribute CD in which the laid-back guitar songs of JJ Cale are cast in a completely different jacket. The entire CD perhaps breathes the atmosphere of the southern states of the US even more strongly than with JJ Cale himself; steaming swamps, sweltering pubs, endless prairies. They are also all local bands that have covered the songs. Unpolished and raw rock with Rufus Huff, harmonic a cappella with the Persuasions, cheerful country with Tim & Roddy Smith's Groove Gang, a heavy but clear electric guitar with Michael Powers, and the pounding rhythm of Swamp Cabbage. I am a big fan of JJ Cale's work, but with this CD I am almost hypnotized. Big words perhaps, but I think this disc should not be missing in the closet of any JJ Cale fanatic. Four and a half stars, just under five because of a few misses.
