J.J. Cale died on July 26th, 2013, at 74. If your interest in music is more than casual, you may know that Eric Clapton did not write “Cocaine” and “After Midnight” — J.J. Cale did. If you’re a connoisseur, you know more: Cale was a giant, a protean figure, bound for the pantheon — an immortal.

In J.J. Cale, Troubadour in the desert, musicians who worked with Cale tell Wouter Bulckaert about their experiences. The Flemish biographer writes that the singer-guitarist from Tulsa was not very happy with Knopfler’s imitations, especially because he did not earn anything from the Dire Straits compositions. Eric Clapton was another story: his successful renditions of ‘After Midnight’ and ‘Cocaine’ guaranteed J.J. Cale a steady income.

Wouter Bulckaert did not s
