Damn…
Definitely a huge loss! Saw him many time with the Garcia Band… Amazing talent
Great song writer that left his mark in music that will remain for ever!
A sad day! Love his Skynyrd and Allman songs.
My wife and I wore out my copy of Naturally(vinyl of course) when we were in college. That was an amazing album in a time of generally amazing music.
Floatin down that old river boy, all my worries far behind, Floatin down that old river boy, leave old memories way behind,
Yesterday is slowly fadin, All my life, Ive been waitin`, for this time.
Floatin down that old river boy, leaves me feelin good inside,
Floatin down that old river boy, tryin to get to the other side,
Yesterday is slowly fadin, I been waitin, now forever, for this ride.
See you on the other side JJ…
He was a fantastic musician himself. I like his versions of Cocaine and After Midnight better than I like Clapton’s. In my opinion he was probably the most underrated professional musician out there. He had a style all his own. I did think it was really cool of Clapton to give Cale top billing on their album Road to Escondido.
