Well you can't really have a channel promoting his music without including his best known song (via Eric Clapton). Some trivia included below. Enjoy the full album here: • J J Cale ~Troubadour ~ Full Album (... I am not monetized. Enjoy 💖🎸 • “I wrote ‘Cocaine’, and I’m a big fan of Mose Allison…So I had written the song in a Mose Allison bag, kind of cocktail jazz kind of swing…And Audie said, ‘That’s really a good song, John, but you oughta make that a little more rock and roll, a little more commercial.’ I said, ‘Great, man.’ So I went back and recut it again as the thing you heard.” • The following year, 1977, Eric Clapton would cover it on his Slowhand album and it quickly became one of his biggest hits. During the Slowhand sessions, Clapton and his band went to see a J.J. Cale concert, and Cale brought Clapton on stage to perform a duet of Cocaine. • Clapton was inspired by the deceptively sophisticated lyrics: • “It’s no good to write a deliberate anti-drug song and hope that it will catch. Because the general thing is that people will be upset by that. It would disturb them to have someone else shoving something down their throat,” explains Clapton. “So the best thing to do is offer something that seems ambiguous—that on study or on reflection actually can be seen to be “anti”—which the song “Cocaine” is actually an anti-cocaine song. If you study it or look at it with a little bit of thought … from a distance … or as it goes by … it just sounds like a song about cocaine. But actually, it is quite cleverly anti-cocaine.” • If you want to hang out, • You've got to take her out, cocaine • If you want to get down, • Get down on the ground, cocaine • She don't lie, • She don't lie, • She don't lie, cocaine • If you got bad news, • You want to kick them blues, cocaine • When your day is done • And you want to run, cocaine • She don't lie, • She don't lie, • She don't lie, cocaine • If your thing is gone • And you want to ride on, cocaine • Don't forget this fact, • You can't get it back, cocaine • She don't lie, • She don't lie, • She don't lie, cocaine • She don't lie, • She don't lie, • She don't lie, cocaine • Cocaine Lyrics as written by J. J. Cale
