Sometimes, when you've got some real 'pros' getting together, especially with a laid back vibe, that it comes off so smooth that the very musicianship that makes it possible goes unnoticed. I think this is one of those cases.

These old dogs are so good at this stuff that it may come across less complex than it is (there are some very sweet licks on this album). Is it innovative? Well, no, but I suspect they don't feel obliged to redefine the musical landscape every time they make a record, and that after about 40 years of this, they are just enjoying each other's musical company this time around.

We should be through this album meanwhile...
There is nearly every day at least one song from it...

I love both of these artists and this is a pleasant collaboration. However, there are no songs that "stick out", no "gems" IMO. Enjoyable, but not real remarkable CD.

My my my, tough bunch in here. I've been a devoted Cale fan for over 3 decades. Clapton's been up and down the scale with me over the years. Personally, I really enjoy this collaboration. Gritty, dusty Cale and the tastey playing of Clapton without pretense. Yeah, it works for me, this song included.
Ya, what he said!

Not a cale fan. This is just kind of flat even for Cale

I "kinda" like the album but it isnt even close to being as good as just JJs stuff.
I would still rate this song a 7.

The reggae overtones to this song make it special.

It might possibly be a kind of 'on the road to nowhere' in-joke?

A welcome return. It's a shame that it took Eric Clapton's involvement to resurrect Cale's career. GOD, the music business sucks raw these days.

this is a pretty good album, if you like eric clapton and jj cale ... not the best song, in my opinion, but a decent partnership overall.
