Musicbrainz DBCrazy mama, where you been so long
Crazy mama, where you been so long
You've been hiding out, I know that's true
Crazy mama, I sure need you
Crazy mama, where you been so long
Standing on the corner, looking for you, baby
Standing on the corner, looking for you, baby
Lord mercy, I can not see, crazy mama coming back to me
Crazy mama, where you been so long

| scraig (Santa Barbara, CA) | Posted: Jan 30, 2012 - 13:04 "Cale recounts the story of being offered the opportunity to appear on Dick Clark's American Bandstand to promote the song ("Crazy Mama"), which would have moved the song higher on the charts. Cale declined when told he could not bring his band to the taping and would be required to lip-sync the words to the song." - Wiki |

| dwlangham | Posted: Jun 23, 2011 - 12:06 This album stands the test of time. |
| gatorade (Peninsuland) | Posted: May 06, 2011 - 19:58 When Eric Clapton was asked who or what he'd like to come back as if he could, and he replied J.J. Cale. |
| mem_313 (lerkin) | Posted: Feb 01, 2011 - 09:11 sigh... J.J. you get my vote every time you play. |
| nalle (Malmo, Sweden) | Posted: Feb 01, 2011 - 09:08 Great song from a great album, it´s crazy good. |

Thank god, my little brother shook me and I came to just in time to avoid going off a 100 ft cliff. This album was playing on my 8 track tape player. I'll never forget it. What a lucky life I've had, haven't died and still listen to J.J. Cale once in a while. But now and never again, while driving down a road taking hits on a bong. Next time I'll have to remember to pull off the road first. Just another hit......of sweet love. You must be one of the "10"s then. Cheers! Good to have you with us!

| NickDanger (Athens - not that one, the music one) | Posted: Jun 24, 2010 - 05:58 I remember listening to this song on AM (yes, AM!) radio with what would now be called ear buds while pushing a lawn mower for my first summer job. I know I'm dating myself, but this song it's worth it. |

| martinc (Ottawa Canada) | Posted: Jul 28, 2009 - 10:02 The whole album rates a 9. We played the crap out of this in its day and it still sounds fine and a unique guitar voice combo |

| joanot | Posted: Sep 04, 2008 - 11:20 People who didn´t know his work usually says he plays the guitar like M.Knopfler. Well, it seems obviously, but i must say that Mark Knopfler is younger than J.J.Cale. And i have all Dire Straits albums, of course. |
| Shamsiel | Posted: Sep 04, 2008 - 09:45 The tone on his guitar is INSANE! |
