JJ Cale, musician behind Lynyrd Skynyrd and Eric Clapton hits, dies at age 74* - NY Daily News

He was a true artist from the "less is more" school of thought. His unique recording/engineering style of burying the details in the mix just to the degree that sucks in even the most reluctant listener was almost magical.
