J. J. Cale - Two Meter Sessies, NOB Radiostudio, Hilversum, Netherlands, 9-21-1994

J. J. Cale rarely performed in solo acoustic mode, but I think he excelled when it did. I already posted one acoustic concert from him; here's another.

In 2006, a Cale archival triple album collection was released called "Collected." Mostly, it was a collection of his best album tracks. But at the very end, this performance was included. It's from a long-running Dutch radio show called "Two Meter Sessies." The sound quality is excellent, and there was no audience. 

But that was only 23 minutes long. I thought that was rather short, so I found something else acoustic to add to the end. The last four songs come from a Canadian radio show called "Swingin' on a Star," from 1993, just a year earlier. The sound quality is excellent for that as well, although there was a cheering audience for those songs. Two songs, "Rose in the Garden" and "Tijuana," were played in both shows. But since this album is still pretty short, I figured I'd include both versions of those two.

This album is 32 minutes long with the four extra songs at the end included.
