JJ Cale passed away Friday at the age of 74.
For those who don't know the name, he wrote the songs Cocaine & After Midnight made famous by Eric Clapton. He was an influence to Lynyrd Skynyrd, Deep Purple, Tom Petty and who knows how many more. The first time I heard his name was when I bought One More For/From the Road by Lynyrd Skynyrd and heard the song Call Me the Breeze.
