A definite highlight was a concert with the great B.B. KING, in december ´94, which J&TBJ has been the opening act for. B.B. KING was realy impressed and invited the band after the show in his dressing room and this is his comment:
B.B. King:
“I´m no critic. I never would say this music is bad - this music is good. I listen to all kind of music. I listen to jazz of famous jazz musicians and it doesn´t move me. I listen to blues of famous players and it doesn´t moves me. But, yeah, this music does! This music really moves me. You have a unusual sound, … really, a unusual sound. I love this kind of modern blues!
You can count on me, if you like you can use what I said in your papers - I mean what I say. What you are doing is very good. You have a good beat, good arrangements, good horns, good musicians - everybody, it´s well done, the harp is great - what you want more ?
Gentlemen, I’m really sorry that I only could listen to your music for a short time. But I tell you - what I heard was really excellent! Absolutely”
Statements of outstanding musicians:
Lucky Peterson:
“That’s it! Excellent Performance!”
Louisiana Red:
“Hey, this is a fantastic band! I really enjoyed to play with them! Damn - what a gig!”
Chris Farlow:
“This band is excellent, definitly!”
Luther Allison:
“This band is really on the way. Great band - and the harp player is incredible!”
Ralph Pennland:
“I heard this music and thought: Damn, what a band is this ? A few weeks ago I had recordings with Koko Taylor and Albert Collins and I tell you this band is good too ! Call me, Frank, if you are sick - I would love to sit in”
Peter Erskine:
“Wow, good fat beat - I like it!”
Sterling W. Reaveley, Promoter Columbus/USA:
“The best German blues band I ever heard!”
Dennis Chambers / Gary Grainger:
“Pretty good, …pretty good!! Please send me this CD.
It sounds great, good played and it’s modern. Fucking good.”
Toscho’ Todorovic, Blues Company:
“Sehr gute Produktion. Gerade für ein CD-Debüt ein unglaublich hohes Niveau.”
Dieter Kropp, Radio Bremen:
“Sehr gute Band. Erstaunlich modern und vielseitig. Wirklich eine CD, die sich positiv aus der Masse hervorhebt.”
Detlev Hoegen, Crosscut Rec./Radio Bremen:
“Gefällt mir ausgesprochen gut. Für unsere Breitengrade ungewohnt kalifornisch; sprich laid back, virtuos und perfekt im Klang.”

J.J. Cale Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
All the girls are lookin' fine
Down on Cherry Street
All the girls are lookin' fine
When they put their hands in your pocket
They ain't feelin' for no dime
Down on Cherry Avenue
It's a paradise
Down on Cherry Avenue
Things are lookin' nice
If you need some kinda lovin' boy
Don't think twice
Down on Cherry Avenue
Take it up then move it in
Down on Cherry Avenue
Take it up then move it in
That's where the ladies are
That's where the boys turn into men
Down on Cherry Street
All the girls are lookin' fine
Down on Cherry Street
All the girls are lookin' fine
When they put their hands in your pocket
They ain't feelin' for no dime
In J.J. Cale's song "Cherry", the artist describes two different streets, Cherry Street and Cherry Avenue, that seem to be the epicenter of entertainment and pleasure. On these streets, the girls are looking fine, and the vibe is just perfect. The lyrics suggest that once you get on Cherry Avenue, you'll find yourself in a paradise with everything looking nice. If you're in the mood for some loving, then don't even think twice about it. The song also implies that Cherry Street and Cherry Avenue are the perfect places for boys to become men because that's where the ladies are.
The song's thematic essence is about how Cherry Street and Cherry Avenue are the places for fun, and everything seems to be perfect in that zone. The lyrics talk about how the girls on those streets are all looking fine and will put their hands in your pocket without feeling for a dime, meaning that all they want is you. It's a song about escapism, a place where one can forget all their worries and embrace desire. With its catchy uptempo sound and simple lyrics, "Cherry" serves as a laid-back, down-home feeling tune that has become a fan favorite over the years.
