what are you listening to?

I just started listening to a J.J. Cale flac file and I'm realy liking it. The style really reminds me a lot of Mark Knopfler. Seems I remember Nando saying something about that also. Anyhow, it's good stuff.
 
Clapton and Knopfler were most likely influenced by J.J. Cale. Listen to this reel about 58 seconds into the video. "Ride The River" is being played:

Mad World ~ Gary Jules and Curt Smith


I don't play guitar but, the strings look kind of funny on his, love his voice!!

Curt Smith from 'Tears For Fears' really wanted a full choir and stripped down sound for this gorgeous song but, the producer nixed it at the last moment, I'll edit in a video of how he really wanted it to sound like in a sec...

The Gary and Curt song is on the second row, watch that first, then the live version from Brussels next

Indeed Nando, I think JJ influenced more than those 2....
