J.J. Cale's
Naturally - a true laid-back roots rock classic. J.J.'s minimalistic approach is clear from the get-go - it's been said that the songs on this album sound like demos. Did I already mention that this album is really laid-back? Because it pretty much embodies the definition of the word. It's never boring, though - the songwriting is top-notch.
I highly recommend this album to anyone who likes roots rock even a little bit. Particular highlights for me include "Call Me the Breeze," "Call the Doctor," "Don't Go to Strangers," "Clyde," "Crazy Mama," "River Runs Deep," and, of course, "After Midnight."
