Summary: Quiet Achiever
Review: A great insight into the music of this quiet achiever. Having a morbid fear of flying I would never have been able to enjoy seeing this artist engrossed in his work as I live 'down under'.

Summary: note on Katy Kool Lady
Review: As long time fans know, the song titled Katy Kool Lady on the JJ Cale 5 CD is not the same song as the original vinyl LP, but is a song correctly titled Out Of Style. Katy Kool Lady in the audio bonus tracks on the DVD is the same song as the LP and includes Katy Kool Lady in the lyrics.

If you're a JJ fan, you want this DVD. If you're not familiar with JJ, you are probably familiar with songs he wrote that were covered by Clapton and others. The originals are better. If you hesitate to spring for the DVD as your first JJ purchase, try either the Troubadour or Naturally CD first, and see why other musicians respect him so much. You'll feel confident about buying the DVD afterwards.

Summary: At last!
Review: Eindelijk, de meester nog eens mogen zien.
Geen woorden genoeg om zijn gitaarspel, stem te loven.
Gewoon kijken, luisteren, genieten, blijven genieten!

Summary: cool, smooth and buoyant...
Review: Recently retrieved, but captured in 1979, in the intimacy of the Paradise Studio, with Leon Russel, Christine Lakeland and others, this performance is obviously a must have. Pretty good sound and a lot of great songs, sometimes in jazz style sometimes more country. A pure delight for the aficionados of jj cale. And a brilliant example of the US culture that we love in France!
Surprisingly, I notice that this dvd is now available here and not yet in USA ! Be patient !

Summary: The Lost JJ Cale Tapes
Review: This DVD is a must for any true JJ Cale fan. It contains almost 90 minutes of songs and even a personal look at JJ's modified Harmony guitar, complete with coins to set the distance between the strings and the neck.

He jams in classic laidback style and Leon Russell adds some tasty organ and even vocals on a couple tracks.

As good as any JJ I've heard, and I have them all. He's really in top form for this set and seeing him play with a great band adds to the full effect. The video is well edited and the camera work on a whole is pretty good.

Covers most of his classics up to the date it was recorded (1979) and even a couple not on any other CD.

Summary: The Guitar Man Can Play!
Review: This is it! Finally-they got it right.An actual session of J.J. Cale on "DVD"!I am one of the true fans who has listened to him for a long time.Enjoyed him for a long time.Other than getting lucky enough to be at one of his rare shows some 13 years ago,I ,as well as many,had never seen him.Finally we can on an excellent production from classicpictures.uk.co.It features not only the "guitar man",but shot many scenes where you actually can watch him play.Man he can play!Examples of his talents are featured extremely well on "Ten Easy Lessons","After Midnight",Boiling Pot","Crazy Mama","Going Down" and all the "T-Bone Shuffles".However,the one tune that sticks out is the rendition of "Fate of a Fool" from the album "5".I could be wrong but I felt this tune was written as a parallel of his life."Seeing" him perform this all but proves my assumption correct.The band that accompanies him is tight.Leon Russell is super and makes his presence known on keyboards/vocals and showmanship.Do not look for fireballs,smoke machines,or long drum solos.This is J.J. Cale and he just plays.Man can he play!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: AMAZING!
Review: This is my first review in 3 years!!(lazy). This DVD is incredible. It is not a stadium Live concert but it is neither a soft studio session. It is pretty much similar to nowadays MTV unplugged, but with all Cale's strenght, an excellent sound and very good quality filming. I can asure you that any JJ's fan will not be dissapointed.
