J J Cale was born John Weldon Cale (although sometimes he's wrongly credited as Jean Jacques Cale) on December 5th, 1938 in Oklahoma City, but soon moved to Tulsa. He soon started playing in local bands (one of them included his friend Leon Russell), before forming his own Johnnie Cale & The Valentines.

AND THEN...

A young J J Cale

In 1959, J J Cale moved to Nashville to play as professional musician for the Grand Ole Opry´s touring company.

After some years, he came back to Tulsa, started playing with Leon Russell again, and then, in 1964, Russell, Cale and bassist Carl Radle moved together to Los Angeles. There, Cale not only played but also worked as sound engineer.

J J CALE BAND

---

In 1967, we have J J Cale back in Tulsa, where he started recordings demos. Thanks to his mate Carl Radle, he got a recording contract, and that's how Eric Clapton knew of his songs, recording ´After midnight´ in 1970, and giving J J Cale the worldwide exposure he clearly deserved.

His first album, Naturally, was released in December 1971.

2nd album was Really.

Okie was released in 1974, followed by Troubadour in 1976 and Five in 1979.
