 J.J. Never Unwinds Nov 23, 2008
"An artist, a song, a group of musicians, a producer and a studio." That's a secondary title on REWIND's CD cover notes. He is definitely a collaborator with a minimalist approach. I've listened to and appreciated Cale's music for so many years I'm almost afraid to purchase his newest albums for fear he'll let me down. No. In the CD's notes he comments: 'Generally, I never did other people's songs because I can't really sing too good, so I just stuck to my own little bluesy thing. I like other people's songs, and it's not that I don't like my own songs, it's just that I've become predictable to myself." . . . and thank goodness. If you are a fan of MISTER Cale, this easy collection is good reading, cleaning, and listening music; if you are not yet, it just might make you one.
An interesting retrospective... May 09, 2008
This is a pretty cool disc for the most part. It has that casual, laid back J.J. Cale vibe to it and he even does a couple of covers! It isn't in the realm of his best work, but this isn't "Hey, we never released that one. Let's put it with some other castoffs and make some easy money" type stuff either. Basically it's made up of songs that just didn't fit the ones on the record being made at the time. Sort of an amalgam of Album Mutts.
"Rewind" is a good title. Be sure and sample the tunes here on Amazon to get a feel for the disc overall so you're not disappointed when you compare it to Mr. Cale's other work. Some of it is flat different... but that don't mean it ain't good.
Bill's Fifty Words or Less Jan 17, 2008
Good stuff! Cale fans will love it and be grateful. Recorded between 1973 and 1983. "Bluebird" is a real gem, but at just eighty-three seconds left me in shock, gasping for more. Too skimpy on the music at thirty-seven minutes overall. Environmentally wasteful paper slipcase redundantly replicates jewel case inserts.

His CDs are stuck in my player Oct 28, 2007
JJ Cale is my all time favorite artist, so to find a treasure like this is almost unreal. What a great find! I do hope there is more of his music hidden elsewhere. Keep looking guys!
On a side note: the DVD recorded in 1979 has a few bonus tracks on it indicating there should be enough material to be able to make a second DVD of these sessions as well. Keep it coming JJ - we love it!
