As people can probably tell from the 'EC Retiring' thread, I love EC - and J J Cale was just fantastic.
I really don't care how 'uncool' this may be considered.
Thanks for posting!

Im officially awarding EC extra points for this song & vid. Referential, sentimental, and a wee bit of levity thrown in for good measure.
"So, where's Escondido then?"
"Hmm.. Somewhere in California i think."
"Bit of a trek for me, isn't it?"
Brilliant.
His recent albums have been about "putting an album out", this one is to pay tribute to JJ and as a result I think has proper thought and effort behind the songs, great album.
The laid back feel of J J Cale's songs suit Eric well in later life.
Knopfler's performance on the album positively reeks of early Dire Straits. Which is a good thing btw.
The whole Cale/early DS/70s Clapton thing was a big influence on me, so for me it's great to hear a whole album of it.
