5.0 out of 5 stars The Lost JJ Cale Tapes, May 7, 2003

By 

Dan Addison (Charlotte, NC USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: J.J. Cale - In Session at the Paradise Studios (DVD)

This DVD is a must for any true JJ Cale fan. It contains almost 90 minutes of songs and even a personal look at JJ's modified Harmony guitar, complete with coins to set the distance between the strings and the neck.

He jams in classic laidback style and Leon Russell adds some tasty organ and even vocals on a couple tracks.

As good as any JJ I've heard, and I have them all. He's really in top form for this set and seeing him play with a great band adds to the full effect. The video is well edited and the camera work on a whole is pretty good.

Covers most of his classics up to the date it was recorded (1979) and even a couple not on any other CD.

This review is from: J.J. Cale - In Session at the Paradise Studios (DVD)

This is it! Finally-they got it right.An actual session of J.J. Cale on "DVD"!I am one of the true fans who has listened to him for a long time.Enjoyed him for a long time.Other than getting lucky enough to be at one of his rare shows some 13 years ago,I ,as well as many,had never seen him.Finally we can on an excellent production from classicpictures.uk.co.It features not only the "guitar man",but shot many scenes where you actually can watch him play.Man he can play!Examples of his talents are featured extremely well on "Ten Easy Lessons","After Midnight",Boiling Pot","Crazy Mama","Going Down" and all the "T-Bone Shuffles".However,the one tune that sticks out is the rendition of "Fate of a Fool" from the album "5".I could be wrong but I felt this tune was written as a parallel of his life."Seeing" him perform this all but proves my assumption correct.The band that accompanies him is tight.Leon Russell is super and makes his presence known on keyboards/vocals and showmanship.Do not look for fireballs,smoke machines,or long drum solos.This is J.J. Cale and he just plays.Man can he play!

5.0 out of 5 stars AMAZING!, November 8, 2004

By 

SAPEX (Buenos Aires, ARGENTINA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: J.J. Cale - In Session at the Paradise Studios (DVD)

This is my first review in 3 years!!(lazy). This DVD is incredible. It is not a stadium Live concert but it is neither a soft studio session. It is pretty much similar to nowadays MTV unplugged, but with all Cale's strenght, an excellent sound and very good quality filming. I can asure you that any JJ's fan will not be dissapointed.
