“Eric and I have known each other for a long time and it was a great experience to finally make a record together; he’s a great musician and it was a pleasure to work so closely on this project with him, ” said J.J. Cale.

“This was the realization of what may have been my last ambition, to work with the man whose music has inspired me for as long as I can remember; there are not enough words for me to describe what he represents to me, musically and personally…I think it’s enough to say that we had fun, made a great record, and I for one already want to make another, ” said Eric Clapton.
