I just thought it'd be interesting to see the different tastes among the members here, as well as an opportunity to maybe discover someone new music.

It seems that for the better part of the last decade or so i often find myself listening to the gear more than the music.

But, there's one fella who's work brings me back to the music every time, JJ Cale. I suppose part of my attraction is having grown rather fond of the "Tulsa" sound. More than that though is this mans ability to make music regardless of the tools available to him. A true musician packaged as a "regular guy". He in a way reminds of a few of our members here.

Here's a few vids for those who are unfamiliar with the man or his work.
