Feck me. Been listening to this mans music for so many years. Sad day. RIP John Weldon Cale

yep, his first three albums are ingrained in my conscience. It's hard to pinpoint what was so great about him, he just was. Totally absorbing great grooves most of the time.

I played Naturally the whole way through as soon as I heard. My wife was singing along to it.. .I asked "was this a big album in Italy?", where she's from, she said "yes, everyone (she knew) had it."..

I thought it was the bloke from the Velvet Underground. Then I read this...

Born in 1938, John Weldon Cale adopted the name JJ Cale to avoid being confused with John Cale of the Velvet Underground.
