ERIC CLAPTON & J.J.CALE - The Road To Escondido (2006)

After years of admiring each other's musical masterworks, guitar great J.J. Cale and Rock and Roll Hall of

Famer/Grammy-winner Eric Clapton have teamed up to create an original album together called The Road to

Escondido. The resulting hybrid sound defies labels, and instead finds influence across the spectrum of blues,

rock, country, and fold. The songs are warm and rich with deep-flowing rhythms while using an economy of words

to express much.
