Amazon.co.uk Review
JJ Cale is in the curious situation of being best known for another artist's work: Eric Clapton's version of his song, "Cocaine". And admirable as the Clapton track may be, it is little more than a tribute to Cale's own unique sound, a sleepy, bluesy shuffle something akin to Ry Cooder on valium. The likes of Dire Straits and Chris Rea made their mark peddling pale imitations of Cale's guitar playing and song writing, and it's well worth your while to hear the real thing. This exhaustive anthology covers a quarter-century in which Cale has done little more than emphasise and refine his marvellously relaxed style. His songs capture the essence of life in the small, dusty towns of the American Southwest--sometimes laid-back, sometimes beaten down and weary, but always unhurried and understated. Titles like "Call Me The Breeze", "Lonesome Train" and "Wish I Had Me A Dollar" give a fair idea of Cale's familiar subjects. But if you've never heard his music, very likely you'll swiftly find it both unique and addictive. --David Bennun

CD Description
A two-disc, 50-track anthology covering the whole of J.J. Cale's career in vividly remastered sound, ANYWAY THE WIND BLOWS is a textbook example of how to assemble a good single-artist anthology. Focusing equally on all periods of Cale's career--not hard, since the man is nothing if not consistent--the compilation functions equally well as a greatest hits collection for the casual fan, and a balanced introduction for the novice.
More importantly, there's enough previously unreleased material--five high-quality tracks, including a cooking live take on "Wish I Had Me a Dollar"--to appeal to diehard fans without unnecessarily overloading the set with obscurities for obscurity's sake. Whether you're a longtime fan of the Tulsa-based guitarist or if you only know him through the Eric Clapton covers (the originals of "After Midnight" and "Cocaine" are both included here), you'll enjoy ANYWAY THE WIND BLOWS.
