I like the modern production fully. Comparing this with the old versions, which after all have partly a few years or decades behind him, it's been fun to follow the sophisticated arrangements in the present here supple sound quality. That the songs will be added to almost exactly note; also consistently only achieve short term of the originals and not a solo is played by a little more detail, is so obviously by design. In the old JJ Cale plates also no solos are only for the sake of virtuosity. In both cases, everything is very, very relaxed. That even a kilometer long solo is possible, anyway no one has the prove here involved. A deluxe edition of the album with additional tracks in their own interpretations and / or a DVD that shows how the present songs have been recorded, would have been, of course, very nice.
Conclusion So: great fans will smooth high-tech production may not be interesting to you. Who zoom comes with an open mind the thing or want to discover a newcomer the music of a legend only for themselves, but gets a top sounding album full of songs that you like the original versions 25, 30 years ago today and certainly in 30 years still like will hear; played by absolute professionals.
