J.J. Cale: Henry Fonda Theatre, Hollywood
Steven P. Wheeler, Music Connection, May 1990
MENTION THE name of J.J. Cale to any blues/rock guitarist and you'll be greeted with a knowing grin and a nod of appreciation. Cale remains one of those underrated guitar heroes who has stuck to his low-key style while flashier axe men have passed him on the ladder to chart-topping success.
