Critic Reviews
Show All-
American Highways
No overproduction or added gloss. These have a thread of strange magic – like a pinch of salt that glistens on a honeydew.
-
Under the Radar
Stay Around is a fantastic addition to the late Cale's 15-album discography, showcasing the wide breadth of Cale's oeuvre.
-
The Line of Best Fit
The first posthumous album from the legendary JJ Cale will leave you desperate for more.
-
ALL MUSIC
Stay Around is free of filler. It is so consistently fine, it is the great unreleased Cale album. For fans this is the holy grail, but it's also an excellent introduction for the uninitiated. Not to be greedy, but let's hope this is not a one-off. We can never have too much.
-
NO DEPRESSION
Stay Around works so well because the songs are all up to Cale’s usual standard.
-
American Songwriter
This is another tasteful and tasty JJ Cale set, one that comfortably slots in with the rest of his similarly styled catalog. It’s like he never left.
-
HOT PRESS
the first album of unreleased material to emerge since his death in 2013 finds J.J. Cale doing what he did best – the deceptively relaxed Tulsa sound, a unique mix of country and blues that he helped birth.
-
for folk's sake
In this collection, his spirit and power lives on and the musical landscape is undoubtedly richer for that.
-
AP News
posthumous album is vital and inviting.
-
NY Music
Stay Around is a perfect summation of that incredible work by a legendary artist.
-
ROCKSHOT MAG
This goes to prove that even though you may not have heard of J.J.Cale, you have almost certainly heard his work and are, probably like me, unaware of the value of his legacy that this hugely talented but modest musician has given us.
-
STACK
These previously unreleased tracks – a hybrid of blues, country and folk – will be welcomed by old fans and hopefully, embraced by new ones.
-
folk radio
A true one-off and absolutely one of the greats. Whether this is a one-off archive trawl or the first of many is currently unclear, but it’s a valuable addition to the canon either way.
-
NATIONAL POST
posthumous album is vital and inviting.
-
VanGuard online
A posthumous plate of JJ’s relaxed blues rewards the wait.
-
Off the Tracks
I’m loving this.
-
TINNITIST
The late Oklahoma troubadour's first posthumous release is a superb, satisfying set.
-
THE AFTERWORD
It captures the essence of the man and his music perfectly.
-
Jambands.com
Stay Around is an essential and worthy addition to this sorely missed artist’s unshakable legacy
-
The Rocking Magpie
Everything You’d Hope For if You Could Bottle the Tulsa Breeze.
-
It’s rhythmically peaceful, it’s warm and relaxing.
-
Choice Classic Rock
it’s a new, complete, produced and compiled piece of work that stands proudly alongside other original releases.
