J J CALE & ERIC CLAPTON, " the road to escondido "

just came across this vinyl double album witch i never new it existed
in memory of billy preston & brian rolance, quite a great piece of music i think, has ayone heard it ?? if you did what do you think?
nando.

 

One of my most eagerly anticipated albums when it came out. Could have been (should have been?) truly great, but I thought it was quite mediocre. Not a patch on JJ Cale's recent solo output IMHO. Not that good a recording either...

 

i too founded not mediocre, but weird, from the cover i thought i was going to live an experience, well...
nando.

 

If you've not heard it, maybe try and seek out To Tulsa and Back - Cale's best of the last few years IMHO which can stand and be counted against Troubadour and Naturally

 

i will do that thanks,
nando. also a good grooup that i like "FERTILE EARTH"
nando.

 

I bought this is the US last year expecting great things. Life is full of disappointments.
