J.J. Cale was an American singer-songwriter and guitarist, primarily associated with the Tulsa Sound, a laid-back blend of blues, country, and rock. His influence far outstripped his commercial success, with many of his songs becoming hits for other artists. In 1974, Cale released "Okie," his third album, after the widespread success of Eric Clapton's cover of "After Midnight."
