JJ Cale / 3 Original Albums
Enjoy a trio of classic albums from John Weldon “JJ” Cale, via 3 Original Albums, a new wallet-friendly three-CD set from Universal Music.
This package kicks off with the American singer-songwriter and guitarist’s fourth album, 1976’s Troubadour, which features Cocaine, the song made famous by Eric Clapton when he covered it for his Slowhand album. Cale’s fifth LP, 1979’s appropriately named 5, is the middle album in this set, while Shades from 1981, with its Gitanes-inspired artwork, completes this sequence of three consecutive long-players.
Packaging is unconfirmed, although for the price being offered, 3 Original Albums is very likely to provide the CDs in simple card wallets, with a thin outer slipcase.
3 Original Albums is released on 3 June 2016.
