New JJ Cale Album in Stores Today
JJ Cale releases his fourteenth solo studio album, Roll On, today on Rounder Records. Cale wrote and produced all twelve tracks on the solo album, his first in five years.
You can purchase the album at Rounder.com, Amazon.com or your local record store.
The songs are top-shelf: Most ride Cale’s signature shuffle groove and are delivered in his barroom Zen-master growl while his bubbling guitar — as much a jam-band archetype as Jerry Garcia’s — glints across the shadows. Supremely chill, utterly ageless, Cale’s style fits him as perfectly as it did three decades ago. - Rolling Stone
Playing most instruments himself, Cale was able to get out the music in his mind here, with all its simple majesty intact. Nobody can hit it hard and soft at the same time, and still carry a melody, like this 70-year-old boogie minimalist. - Austin American-Statesman
It is easy to be lulled into the rhythm of the man and to simply float along with his music but that would miss the essential quality of his music – he has time and space to say the things he wants to say and his music pushes you along at the same pace – you simply cannot get hurried while listening to JJ Cale. - Music-News.com
