5 out of 5 stars Midwest class   June 23, 2007
 4 out of 4 found this review helpful

Possibly the definitive Cale album, though there are other contenders, 'Okie' sees him running through a varied range of approaches without putting a foot wrong. 'Crying' and 'Cajun Moon' are intense and brooding; 'I'll Be There' and 'Everlovin' Woman' are bright and jaunty; 'Anyway The Wind Blows' is earthy, hypnotic; 'Rock And Roll Records' is an outstanding, mid-paced number; 'Precious Memories' is a beer crate singalong country item. 'I Got The Same Old Blues' is the climax that speaks for itself. Like most of Cale's alums, 'Okie' weighs in at a little over half an hour, but its intimacy wastes nothing.

JJ Cale at his finest.

Laidback back-porch grooves with luscious horns and the man's sublime guitar playing and sardonic delivery.

Rock and Roll Records is the high point for me, but every track is a winner.

When you hear the cool way the guitars chugg along - you may recognise the style.

Eric Clapton spent a good five years emulating this stuff - and never quite made it. Mark Knopfler probably dreams of making an album like this.

Rootsy, laid-back, real, rocking and righteous. Avoid imitations. Have a drink from the source.

A bluesified country masterpiece.
