Notes J.J. Cale’s third album, Okie, is a masterclass in understated cool. Known as the architect of the Tulsa Sound, Cale fused country, blues, and rock into a laid-back groove that influenced legends like Eric Clapton, Mark Knopfler, and Neil Young. This Canadian pressing features the stylized boxcar artwork and Shelter Records mastering. Tracks like “Cajun Moon” and “I Got the Same Old Blues” showcase his minimalist guitar work and mellow vocal delivery, while “Anyway the Wind Blows” became a cult favorite for its effortless charm. Cale’s refusal to chase fame made his music timeless—and Okie is one of his most quietly powerful statements.
