Call The Doctor 2024

Artist: J.J. Cale
Album: "Troubador"
Original release date: 1976

John Weldon "JJ" Cale was an American guitarist, singer and songwriter, his influence as a musical artist has been recognized by figures such as Neil Young, Mark Knopfler, Waylon Jennings and Eric Clapton, who described him as one of the most important artists of the rock history.
He authored songs like "After Midnight" (1966) or the world-renowned "Cocaine" (1976), both known for their performance by his friend Eric Clapton. 
May this rework serve as recognition for a not so well-known but truly talented artist.

John Weldon Cale (aka JJ Cale) - Cocaine (Johnson Somerset Remix)

For this I am playing along to a backing track I recorded earlier.

I am using a Marshall Code 50 amp in the 03 Old School setting which puts a bit of wobble onto the sound. I have gone for a bass-heavy approach and am using fingers and thumb to create the rhythmic pattern, paying homage to the way Ray Bonneville plays.

The chord progression is simply Gm, C7 and D7.

In terms of sound settings, I have gone for quite a bit of bass and a fair bit of gain however I have rolled off the treble a bit but kept the middle where it is.

For the soloing over the top. I have again opted for a fingers and thumb approach. Going for a Jimmie Vaughan type of sound. Exactly the same settings on the amp. Both tone pots in the middle or thereabouts and the selector switch in the neck position.

I am playing a Squier 50th Anniversary Edition strat (solid alder body, maple neck, rosewood fingerboard, 22 frets) but I have swapped out the pickups and replaced them with Smitty '64 Blues pickups.

I am accompanied part way through by my pet crickets and in fine voice, they all were.

The photograph I took myself in a field not far from me, just before the Red Arrows aircraft display team flew over.

So Many Dreams
Lyrics & music by Gert Reine Krantz SE

Verse 1 
So many times we've sung the same refrain
Yes so many times we've danced through the rain
So many songs 
So many laughs we've known
So many memories in our hearts they've grown
They linger in my mind in every thought
Verse 2 
So many dreams you and I share
All we wanted to do on days so fair
Picking lemons in the sunny zone
Dreams let us fly even when we’re alone
Chorus
When the wind was cold and harsh to face 
Dreams took us out to another place
Without our fantasies we’d stand still 
It’s our dreams 
It’s our dreams
That gave us will

Verse 3 
So many miles you and I have walked
So many days in whispers we've talked
So many nights we’ve dreamed of our goals
Some we reached and some had to go
Some we reached and some had to go
Verse 4 
So many memories so many laughs
They never fade even from the past 
They linger in my mind never lost
In a world of dreams we paid the cost

They remain in my mind like a gentle breeze
In the quiet moments they bring me peace
In the quiet moments they bring me peace

So Many Dreams

By 1979, Cale had recorded four albums, his debut Naturally being the most commercially successful and containing the minor hit "Crazy Mama". While his albums did not sell in high numbers, Cale enjoyed great success as a songwriter when other artists recorded his songs, like Eric Clapton ("After Midnight" in 1970 and "Cocaine" in 1977) and Lynyrd Skynyrd ("Call Me the Breeze" in 1974), providing the Oklahoma singer with a degree of financial security to pursue his musical vision. By the time he recorded 5, Cale had also met singer and guitarist Christine Lakeland, and the LP marks her first appearance on his albums. In the 2005 documentary To Tulsa and Back, Lakeland says they met backstage at a prison benefit show featuring B.B. King and Waylon Jennings. Cale and Lakeland would later marry.

Ride me High

There’s nothing quite like a drive into the mystic desert. From the Mojave to Joshua Tree, this vast expanse is as inspiring as it is unforgiving. Yet, we often take for granted those who dedicate their lives to protecting these landscapes and keeping them open to all. Over a thousand national park service members have been needlessly terminated, threatening the very existence of our national parks. In honor both the guardians of these lands and the wonder of the desert itself, let’s take a drive into the abyss—welcome to a desert daze.

Hi, I'm JJ. 

I suffered a mild stroke and so I'm limited now to how long I can play for before it all starts to sound like caca.

So, I use this Soundcloud account to post up musical ideas. Most brief although some where I stretch out a bit. I'm having fun, which is no bad thing.

Anyhow, thanks for stopping by and checking out my feed. I appreciate it.

If you love something, set it free.  If it comes back to you, it was meant to be.  Unless you throw it in the river.
