The Road to Escondido: Enhanced Edition is currently available for pre-order below.
Originally released in 2006, The Road to Escondido brought together J.J. Cale and Eric Clapton after years of admiring each other’s work to create their first album together. The resulting hybrid sound defies being labeled, finding influence across the spectrum of blues, rock, country, and folk. Of his collaborator J.J. Cale, Clapton shares, “People are unaware of how important he is in the tree of the musical history throughout [the U.S.] and the world, and the effect he’s had on people, in a very subtle way, in the way they sing, play guitar, and make records.”
