## Description

J.J. Cale penned two of Eric Clapton's career-defining solo hits, "Cocaine" and "After Midnight." And since Clapton has often fashioned his persona in a WWJD manner (what would J.J. do?), this collaboration is long overdue. But despite the rather slick production and long list of guest backing musicians (including four bassists, four drummers, five other guitarists, and three percussionists), The Road to Escondido is still dominated more by Cale than Clapton. The relatively reticent Okie wrote 11 of the 14 tracks, and it's his low-key soufflé of blues, jazz, and country that shapes and directs the disc's tone, with Clapton along for the ride. The opening "Danger" sets the dusky mood as the duo rides a typical Cale swamp groove that gives way to a tightly wound Slowhand solo. They trade lead vocals on a lovely version of the after-hours jazz blues classic "Sporting Life Blues," and the ubiquitous John Mayer makes an impressive appearance on the subtle blues of "Hard to Thrill." After years of admiring each other's musical masterworks, guitar great J.J. Cale and three time Rock and Roll Hall of Famer, 16-time Grammy winner Eric Clapton have teamed up for the first time to create an original album together, THE ROAD TO ESCONDIDO. The resulting hybrid sound defies being labeled, but instead finds influence across the spectrum of blues, rock, country and folk. The songs are warm and rich, with deep flowing rhythms, yet US an economy of words to express much.

Review: Great CD - Definitely glad I bought it.
Review: Excellent road trip music - Excellent music. I bought before a road trip and it was perfect. I was dancing in my seat.

What can you say? You have two pals play for one another. Oh just happens to be Eric Clapton and JJ Cale. One of those moments in music that bridge JJ Cale's early work to right now. This minute.
