J.J.Cale nació en Oklahoma (EE. UU.) en 1938. Empezó a ser conocido al inicio de los 70's gracias al album "Naturally". Este LP contenía algunos de sus clásicos, como "Call Me The Breeze", "After Midnight" o "Crazy Mama"; su estilo era una extraña, innovadora y personalísima mezcla de blues, country y rock and roll.
Cale se caracteriza por una voz suave y sugerente, y una manera de tocar la guitarra que ha influenciado claramente a otros grandes guitarristas como Mark Knopfler o Eric Clapton.

Take Out Some Insurance from "Number 10" by J. J. Cale
Transcribed from the CD number ORE CD 523 by Ian Prideaux (mailto:[email protected]) This is a simple song in D major and predictably uses G and A major as well, along with the C major at the end of the verses and chorus, a device which JJ often uses. It's played on guitar with a smattering of fiddle, especially in the bridge. In the first line in the second verse, I can't quite figure out what the ~a something~ is, if anyone knows, email me. Have Fun.
[D] [G] [D] A man knocked upon the door, said "Don't you know you're gonna die some day"
[A] I've got a plan for you, man, for when you pass away.
[D] [G] [D] We'll give to your mother, your kids and your wife
[G] [D] and all you have to give in return is your life.
[chorus] [G] Take out some insurance, insurance today,
[D] [C] [D] for tomorrow will come and take us away.
[/chorus]
[G] [D] Two men were gambling in ~a something~ one night
[A] when a woman walked in with her dress up so tight.
[G] [D] She asked the two gentlemen would they fight for her name.
[C] [D] They got up and shot her and went back to their game.
[chorus] [bridge, all on a D chord except for the final C-D like the end of each verse]
[G] [D] This aint no sad song, don't cry in your beer,
