JJ Cale at the 2 Meter Sessions (1994) John Weldon "J. J." Cale (December 5, 1938 – July 26, 2013)

                                                                 
   
                                                                ///////////////////////
Het was een mooi programma De 2 Meter sessies  van Jan Douwe Kroeske.Het leverde prachtig beelden en een en rits prachtige cd,s.op. In deze show wordt sinds 1987 bekende en nieuwe artiesten de mogelijkheid geboden om in een studio-omgeving een inkijk in hun liedjes te geven en deze regelmatig tot een akoestische basis terug te brengen. In de afgelopen jaren werden meer dan duizend sessies opgenomen, met onder andere the Black Crows .Counting Crows, Radiohead, Foo Fighters, REM, Bush, Anouk, Nirvana, Milow, Crowded House, Venice, K's Choice, Joe Cocker, De Dijk, Sepultura, Golden Earring en Coldplay.Naast het optreden van The Black Crows  was het optreden van JJ.Cale wat mij betreft ook zeker een van de hoogtepunten.
 

Traveling Light

 John Weldon (J.J.) Cale (Oklahoma City, 5 december 1938) is een Amerikaanse singer-songwriter en gitarist. Hij groeide op in Tulsa, en is dan ook de bekendste vertolker van de Tulsa Sound.
 Heel veel artiesten hebben zijn nummers gecoverd "After Midnight"en "Cocaine" door Eric Clapton,"Cajun Moon" door Randy Crawford, "Magnolia" door Jai, "Bringing It Back" , Kansas, "Call Me the Breeze" en "I Got the Same Old Blues" door Lynyrd Skynyrd, "Travelin' Light" en "Ride Me High" door Widespread Panic, "Tijuana" by Harry Manx, "Sensitive Kind" door Carlos Santana, "Cajun Moon" door Herbie Mann met  Cissy Houston, en "Same Old Blues" door Captain Beefheart.



After Midnight

Het handelsmerk van Cale is het zogenaamde laid back-zingen,waar dit optreden zeker een voorbeeld van is. Dit is nét na de tel inzetten. Daarnaast is Cale, door zijn diensttijd bij de luchtmacht, handig met elektronica waardoor hij zijn eigen muziek mee produceert en zijn opnamen een specifieke sound krijgen. Onderdeel hiervan zijn het dubben van de zang en een lome, ingetogen sfeer.


Devil In Disguise
 De dame in de band is Christine Lakeland ,de gitariste/zangeres speelt op bijna alle albums van JJ Cale mee van sinds einde jaren 70’s.Ze zat in de studio en trad op o.a met Tanya Tucker, Hoyt Axton, Merle Haggard en  Leon Russell.

Steely Dan - Hey Nineteen (album Caucho) 12 August - 2006

Gaucho is the seventh studio album by the American rock band Steely Dan, released by MCA Records on November 21, 1980.

                                                                   "Hey Nineteen"

According to one reviewer's interpretation, the song "was about a middle-aged man's disappointment with a young lover".

The lyrics are about an aging hipster attempting to pick up a girl who is so young that she does not recognize "'Retha Franklin" playing on the stereo. The song closes with the ambiguous line, "The Cuervo Gold, the fine Colombian, make tonight a wonderful thing," leaving the listener to decide whether the narrator is consuming tequila and drugs with the love interest, or if he is in fact alone........

Gov't Mule -Tivoli/Vredenburg - (14 Nov.2023)

.It was in 2005 that I saw Gov,t Mule perform for the first time, on a rainy day in the beautiful open-air theater "Rivierenhof" in Antwerp (Belgium). I was very impressed, I continued to follow the band. After having seen 8 or 9 concerts by the band, it was now the turn of Tivoli / Vredenburg, one of my favorite venues.


Nice setlis with a solid start with songs from their early period (Mule, Monkey Hill). In my opinion the sound was adjusted a bit and we continued with Get Behind The Mule (Tom Waits)Wake Up Dead (album Heavy Load Blues)Larger Then Live (album Dose)Trane/Rumble/Sex machine/St.Stephen Jam ,great!!!After The Storm (album ..Peace like a river) and 32-20 (Robert Johnson) Beautiful first half, relax and time for coffee...

                                           

Good start to the second half, "Dreams" by The Allman Brothers. Warren Haynes has a good voice and great guitar playing. The biggest surprise is bassist Kevin Scott, powerful and beautiful collaboration with Warren.
.

 

We continue with beautiful "Ain't No Love in The Heart Of The City" by Bobby "Blue" Bland, beautiful performance.I Ask Her For Water (Howlin Wolf),Sco-Mule,One of the many highlights of the evening, instrumental. Bassist Kevin goes wild!Gone Too Long(album Peace like a River),Shake You Way Out(Billy Gibbons) and Mr Man((album Deja VooDoo)

                                                          By Gerco van Oene Thanks!!

                          And then it's over?? Of course not. Curious about the encore...

                                                          By Michael Costello Thanks!

After a long intro from Danny Louis, the sounds of "Soulshine" emerged. A wonderful end to a wonderful evening!!!

                                                                  Until the next time!! (Arthur)

Neil Young -- Livin with War (rehearse.....2006)

                       Rick "Rick the Bass Player" Rosas (September 10, 1949 – November 6, 2014)

                                                         Chad Cromwell -  drums


Living With War is the 27th studio album by Canadian / American musician Neil Young, released on May 2, 2006. The album's lyrics, titles, and conceptual style are highly critical of the policies of the George W. Bush administration; the CTV website described it as "a musical critique of U.S. President George W. Bush and his conduct of the war in Iraq". The record was written and recorded over nine days in March and April 2006.
