Crazy Mama
JJ Cale Lyrics
Crazy 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, babe
Standing on the corner, looking for you, babe
Lord have mercy, can I see,
that crazy mama coming back to me?

Cale was born on December 5, 1938, in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Some sources incorrectly give his real name as "Jean Jacques Cale". A Sunset Strip nightclub owner employing Cale in the mid-1960s came up with the "JJ" moniker to avoid confusion with the Velvet Underground's John Cale[citation needed]. In the 2006 documentary, To Tulsa and Back: On Tour with J.J. Cale, Rocky Frisco tells the same version of the story mentioning the other John Cale but without further detail.

RIP JJ Cale. You can delight the angels with your laid-back style. Their gain is our loss.
Timothy P. Floyd
Just for a while.....

Best song of '72. Best slide, ever. Rest in peace, J.J. Your songs won't die while I have breath to sing.

Still astounding that an album of southern folk music set to a primitive beatbox stood toe to toe with Zepplin and the Stones and Yes and Bowie and all the other heavies back in 1972. RIP for now, J.J. Cale, thank you forever.
James Durfee
JJ was one of the truly great songwriters and an absolute icon on the guitar. That great jam session in Heaven just got way better.

Probably the most laid back track i've ever heard...

Laid back indeed. A close second would be Tony Joe White’s gem Homemade Icecream.
