 J.J. Cale - Naturally   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
Cale included a new version of "After Midnight" on the album, but the true meat of the record lay in songs like "Crazy Mama," which became a hit single, and "Call Me the Breeze," which Lynyrd Skynyrd later covered.

Cale is currently hitting the AM charts with a very unlikely number, "Crazy Mama," a typical Cale blues, done with a small rhythm section and his own incredibly controlled lead guitar playing.

Nato in Galles nel 1942, John Cale si forma artisticamente come musicista classico, imparando sin dall'infanzia a suonare le tastiere e la viola (che lui definirà "the saddest of all instruments" e che sarà parte fondamentale della rivoluzione velvettiana).
Cale contribuirà a dare forma e colore alle canzoni di Reed ; a sua volta Reed aprirà nuovi orizzonti musicali a Cale, il quale, dopo l'esperienza con LaMonte Young, sembrava essersi cacciato in un vicolo cieco artistico.
In questa dimensione, l'arte di Cale raggiunge la sua forma più matura e originale, liberata da quelle pesantezze in fase di arrangiamento che avevano caratterizzato in negativo molti momenti del passato; difficilmente la sua produzione raggiungerà più tali vette.
