About this album

Really shows J.J. Cale refining the understated style that would make him a cult hero and a major influence on later roots rock. Issued in 1972, his second album deepens the easygoing groove, dry vocal delivery and unforced guitar work that defined the Tulsa sound, while keeping the songs lean and deceptively direct. The record moves between blues-rock and folk-rock with a natural ease, making toughness sound relaxed and melody feel effortless. Alongside well-known cuts such as Going Down, it helped establish Cale as a songwriter whose quiet approach carried lasting weight far beyond his commercial profile.
