Eric Clapton and J.J. Cale share a roots-music vocabulary
The project centres on the musical partnership between Clapton and J.J. Cale. Their original collaboration brought together Cale’s songwriting with Clapton’s blues-based guitar approach, creating music that moves across blues, rock, country and folk.
A separate 2CD and 2LP release listing identifies Bushbranch / Surfdog Records as the label. The anniversary edition places that long-running musical connection alongside six recordings that broaden the original album’s track list.
Roll On opens the expanded Escondido track list
Roll On is the first single from the edition and features Billy Preston and John Mayer alongside Clapton and Cale. The song comes from the original recording sessions and has an accompanying music video.
The live additions draw on Live in San Diego, giving the collection both previously unheard studio performances and concert recordings. Together, the six additions show the collaboration through two different recording settings.
