Oh dear, now that is sad news. Big influence on myself and countless others, I listened to Cale a lot and his playing has had a major impact on how I play. Terrible to loose another truly great player and songwriter. RIP JJ.

Definitely like JJ Cale, may he rest in peace. Troubadour one of my favourite albums. This is the first I've heard of it not even a mention on the news ...
