Stay Around (CD)
J.J. Cale

Amoeba Review
08/31/2020
Curated by JJ Cale's widow Christine Lakeland Cale and manager Mike Kappusmarks, Stay Around features 15 previously unreleased songs from the late, influential singer/songwriter. The title track rolls along at an agreeably sleepy pace while the lightly chugging guitar of “Chasing You” is uplifting and sunny. Tracks like these embody that Tulsa Sound Cale helped to create, and Lakeland Cale's attempts to stay true to his own mixes and notes for these recordings lends them an authenticity that will surely delight fans.
