Singersongwriterobit: JJ Cale

JJ Cale died Friday night in San Diego. He was 74.

There's a lot being written about Cale at the moment, but there's a comprehensive interview with the man from Jambase that's pretty much all you need - he explains why he sees his albums as "song-writing demos", talks about touring, and reveals that he started using drum machines in 1970 after he got hold of one by swapping an electric banjo.
