Won't find too many songwriters from my part of the world who don't know of J.J. ---he was "Americana" before it had a label. http://www.npr.org/blogs/thetwo-way/2013/07/27/206080217/singer-songwriter-j-j-cale-dead-from-heart-attack-at-74?ft=1&f=1001

 

My older brother used to play Troubadour & Grasshopper a lot. He had a Chevy cab back in the 80's & I got to ride along on some sweet summer days. Good music, good times.
