J.J. Cale

John Weldon "J. J." Cale (December 5, 1938 – July 26, 2013) was an American guitarist, singer, and songwriter. Though he avoided the limelight, his influence as a musical artist has been acknowledged by figures such as Mark Knopfler, Neil Young, Waylon Jennings, and Eric Clapton, who described him as one of the most important artists in rock history. He is one of the originators of the Tulsa sound, a loose genre drawing on blues, rockabilly, country, and jazz. In 2008, Cale and Clapton received a Grammy Award for their album The Road to Escondido. more »

The old man he catches 
The fish in the morning
He rides the river every day
I sit on the bank and 
I holler when he passes
"Hey, old man, are they biting today"
I wake up in the morning, 
Thinking 'bout my troubles
I go down to the water 
And they pass away
And when the old man comes 
A-floating down the river
"Hey, old man, are they biting today"
Now here we've got a thing 
That keeps on rolling
It ain't heavy, don't take it that way
The old man and me, 
We got a good thing going
He gets his fish and I sit all day
He gets his fish and I sit all day
