J.J. Cale - 5 (1979)



J.J. Cale is best known as the writer of two of Eric Clapton's biggest hits — 'Cocaine' and 'After Midnight'. Be that as it may, this lightweight bluesman had his own intriguingly laidback style that throve on understatement and economy of expression during the '70s.

While '5' doesn't quite represent him at the peak of his powers, it does contain one of his most striking compositions — 'Sensitive Kind'.
