JJ Cale - Call Me The Breeze Lyrics

I decided to give J.J. a listen after seeing he wrote this on Skynyrd's album cover, thinking he wrote it for them. After hearing the original I think that Lynyrd Skynyrd ruined it .

JJ CALE ANOTHER WOODY GUTHRIE. BOTH FANTASTIC MUSICANS. THIS IS COUNTRY MUSIC INSTEAD OF THE OTHER COUNTRY MUSIC YOU LISTEN ON THE RADIO TODAY. ALL COUNTRY MUSIC TODAY SOUNDS THE SAME. BUT JJ CALE AND WOODY GUTHRIE'S MUSIC GOTZ THEM BEAT BY A LONG SHOT.

troubadour, enough said.

One of the best musikmaker in the world...

JJ never made it as big as rock or pop stars get but he is well respected and had a very long career in music. That cant be said for very many musicians. How many others that were big in the early 70's and are still putting out music that anybody is really interested in or respected? Heck even Mozart was penniless practically and near forgotten other than Beethoven always praising Mozarts's works. Clapton was a very famous musician who influenced a lot of players but he praised JJ's work. Most people on here never even heard of JJ before Clapton mentioned his work and recorded with him. Who you trying to kid?

Thanks USA for giving the world rock n roll,awesome.

J.J. Cale singing the blues. Damn he’s great🌹🌹💯💯💯💃🎩💃🍓🍷💋❤️🍓🍓💃

This is the best fucking song to purk up anyone in an instant and get their foot tapping to this fucking awesome tune by JJ!

play it good now JJ....Fantastic!

Inspired Dire Straits soooo.........the rest is history!

Love this!!!!!! A real treat. Thanks.

Stephen Dailey hi would love to know what you think of my 16 year old grandsons cover of this https://youtu.be/JiQAhbcwD5w

And don't forget "Cocaine"

This song is guaranteed to get every fucking foot tapping all over this divided world. Music is the global language and it's a shame that many that own this fucking world seem to have zero interest in music!

Same song brought similair thoughts for me as did Mouka.
Makes it a good song for folk that do not feel included. For any reason.


Call me the breeze
I keep blowin' down the road
Well now, they call me the breeze
I keep blowin' down the road
I ain't got me nobody
I don't carry me no load
Ain't no change in the weather
Ain't no changes in me
Well, there ain't no change in the weather
Ain't no changes in me
And I ain't hidin' from nobody
Nobody's hidin' from me
Oh, that's the way its supposed to be
Well, I got that green light, baby
I got to keep movin' on
Well, I got that green light, baby
I got to keep movin' on
Well, I might go out to California
Might go down to Georgia, I don't know
Well, I dig you Georgia peaches
Makes me feel right at home
Well now,…

Great Gerry Garcia on lead guitar....rock and fuckin' roll

So cool of boomhauer to cue the song in

Beautiful Damn Rocking Roll, lets Move

So laid back. God rest him.

oh yeah

I'm new to JJ Cale and I just love his music.  I watched an interview with his wife and the man was the real deal. He didn't sell out for fame and fortune.

THANKFUL/from GERMANY ~

JJ Cale's rocking Blues gets you off your feet and start dancing. Thank You, we'll always remember you!

Brings back memories of Newborough Warren, Anglesey, summer 1977. Ahh!

Ain't no changing the weather ain't no changing me <3

J.J cool 💕

Le Maître

Eric claptons hero🎸 RIP jjcale🎸

i wynna that bob mary me i am prttty woman

yeah jj

Can't you just feel it.

I fished a cassette out of a river in '73. The labels had rotted off but it played great. I fucking loved it!!
Took me 10 years to identify it as JJ Cale's 'Naturally'

....and isn't it amazing with the discovery of who it was comes a whole catalogue of awesome tracks?!!

Con esta musica se antoja conducir un auto por una carretera solitaria y dejar pasar kilometros y kilometros pisando a fondo.

"One two, one two three....I've got that green light, baby, got to keep moving on..."
"Call Me the Breeze" by J.J. Cale, first appeared on his 1972 debut album, "Naturally", as the opening track. https://youtu.be/TlppIdtLw5A

"I got that green light baby...I got to keep movin' on." Great tune. Cale's original is much better than Skynard's hit version. Love it in his laid back mode.

Yes, but I like Skynyrd's imitation of a big band brass section, groovy as hell... keep on movin' on, brother!

OH WOW! I had no idea Skynyrd's version was a cover

J.J Cale the real deal Eric clapton Dire straits Plastic fakes

And using a beatbox

He got the face, the voice and the rythm ❤️

I had just lost my dad in a stupid desert war in Morocco in January of 1976. My uncle invites me to the deep desert in south Morocco. He lived in a sleepy small town of maybe 20000 people. They had a small club there where they had a HiFi player. They had a decent vinyl records collection. I was grieving sad and bored. The manager somehow was nice enough to let me browse through their vinyl collection. For some unknown reason JJ Cale's album caught my eyes. It was the one with the Raccoon with the hat. I didn't speak a word of English back then. I decided to play it for the gallery. Needless to say how it all ended up. I bought every album in tape, vinyl and CD. I did not understand the lyrics. However the music spoke to me in that universal language: art. JJ Cale will always remain one of the most underrated musicians ever.
I came to the US in the mid 1990. My one regret is that I never made enough money to go see him in person.

Oh baby, I just think that his music touches everyone. I've never seen him heard of a good tribute act, he was just that good. Did his own tuning & production. Beat that! Will love him always., 👍

Respect from London brother, I wish I had seen him too....

touched by your story, in 1976 I was 9 but I can imagine your story. Especially about the vinyl...

Thanx bro. Good vibes to you and peace for your father.

Power of music.

I might go out to california, might go down to georgia I dont know....

He, s wonderful. The ultimate rythmn man.

Try jj cale.....ten easy leasons...

Leadville Colorado 1972 first heard his music

awesome original version but i prefer lynyrd skynyrd cover of this song

Heard him first time in the seventees still love and miss him,

Умница! Россия тебя любит.

THIS PEOPLE IS VIRTUOS AND LEGEND MACEDONIA LISTEN THIS MYUSIK

I remember the song from soundtrack of the movie "Renegade" with Terence Hill

Now I know where Clapton got the riff for "Lay Down Sally".

In the 1970's I hung out in a biker bar called the BRASS RAIL due to the brass rail along the bar that you rest your feet on.. Best Burger and Fries made there when you were drunk on whiskey shots and hungry.. Bathroom sink full of piss, Always a fight and lots of drugs all over and JJ Cale always on the turn table on the other side of the bar..

Knowledge Will Increase wow sounds low down and dirty...my kind of establishment...,!!!!

was, is and will always be . . .
the best!

Excuse me - it is the bass drum. Have to listen on a cell phone - not the best sound. Love these tunes just the same. Would like a stereo and a pair of headphones. Oooooh wouldn't that be nice?

A lonely road at night, some weed and this song is all you need!

Rhythm guitar rocks.

Dorothy Long my 16 year old grandson heard this sing and played it at open mic last week. What do you think https://youtu.be/JiQAhbcwD5w

What is that keeping tempo instead of bass drum?

saw him live round 74 ? Wichita Kansas ,, then later in 2006 listened to best of/anthology while on ayuaska at home ..terrific/brilliant , , , thank you !

whats also weird i bought the trip/fuel on line from bouncing bear botanical in Wichita,, later feds took the good stuff away from him ..sigh ... i was living in Colo Spgs Co ...

grand - THIS DUDE IS THE MAN

I think I maybe apart of this breeze..... Thanks JJ

Great sit on the porch record exactly horw we listened to it 30 years still a good one for a cookout also

I was fortunate enough to see Cale play live at an outdoor show in Ohio in I think 1981. He was in the middle of a heavy line-up and honestly I'd never heard of the man. Well, as you might guess I was blown away as I always keyed in on the guitar picking, he played most of the songs sitting in a chair, cowboy hat on,  wearing large black sunglasses. Looking back I wish I could recall more but just remember he was a VERY pleasant surprise! Wish I still had the cheap concert shirt with his name on it, it would be a prized item today.

harmonica key B ( deutsch H)

J. J. Cale is the root of the oak.

I love this song !

Just like John Prine mate.

Im so late to this party!!!?? How did i miss this awesome for so long???

I pity the younger generations - this is music.

Pity those fools too.

I know this from the Spiritualized version rather than the LS one. All Good though.

Great artist

Now this guy is what I call WOKE

JJ cale what a player. He could play that guitar . Amazing. One of my 3 favorites. Skynyrd, JJ Cale , and of course Stevie Ray Vaughan.

I think of this bloke  when a breeze is good! Go JJ

This sounds like a Clapton tune😂

Other way around. Rather, Clapton was influenced by J.J Cale. You can hear it in "Lay Down Sally".

J.J.cale du warst der beste.

About as solid as it gets!!! Rock on!

One of the Best Song writers of my generation... Sadly missed RIP JJ Cale.

🙏🌬️💨🍃🙏

Spiritualized covered this

Thats a cool mfer, what album is this? whats the artwork in the video from?

Wieder und wieder und wieder . . .

i personally prefer John Mayer's version

Can never ever get fed up of this track and ofcourse of JJ.

You ain't changing the weather and you ain't changing me...whooe

I'm only 2 months old and this is best music. I really dont understand how people my age can like today's music.
