You may dislike this selection of shuffling boogie tunes, that all seem to grow off the same tree. But you are rewarded by the catchy hook lines, the close-miked whispering voice of J.J. Cale, amazing grooves and a superbly focused production, that draws attention to every shiny detail in these 12 short songs. Subtle sonic details like that literally singing and whistling guitar in the second track add to the long term value. Every J.J. Cale album contains almost only great songs. But very often each album also hold a very special gem that seems to hypnotize and transport you to the location he is describing. On this album, "The Old Man an Me", is the one. (in RateYourMusic)
