Sealed, Latest Press Of The 2011 180gm Reissue. "J.J. Cale's Debut Album, Naturally, Was Recorded After Eric Clapton Made "After Midnight" A Huge Success. Instead Of Following Slowhand's Cue And Constructing A Slick Blues-Rock Album, Cale Recruited A Number Of His Oklahoma Friends And Made A Laid-Back Country-Rock Record That Firmly Established His Distinctive, Relaxed Style. Cale Included A New Version Of "After Midnight" On The Album, But The True Meat Of The Record Lay In Songs Like "Crazy Mama," Which Became A Hit Single, And "Call Me The Breeze," Which Lynyrd Skynyrd Later Covered. On These Songs And Many Others On Naturally, Cale Effortlessly Captured A Lazy, Rolling Boogie That Contradicted All The Commercial Styles Of Boogie, Blues, And Country-Rock At The Time. Where His Contemporaries Concentrated On Solos, Cale Worked The Song And Its Rhythm, And The Result Was A Pleasant, Engaging Album That Was In No Danger Of Raising Anybody's Temperature."
