{"product_id":"naturally-4","title":"Naturally","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eNaturally\u003c\/em\u003e is the debut studio album by \u003cstrong\u003eJ. J. Cale\u003c\/strong\u003e released on October 25, 1971. Cale, who was raised in Oklahoma, first tasted success in 1964 when singer Mel McDaniel scored a regional hit with Cale's composition \"\u003cem\u003eLazy Me\u003c\/em\u003e\".\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFrom there, Cale moved to California and worked at Leon Russell's home studio as a chief engineer and began performing at places like the Whisky a Go Go. With Johnny Rivers already performing there regularly, club co-owner Elmer Valentine rechristened Cale as J.J. Cale to avoid confusion with the John Cale in the Velvet Underground.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn 1966, Cale cut an unsuccessful single for Liberty Records called \"\u003cem\u003eSlow Motion\u003c\/em\u003e\", but it was the B-side, \"\u003cem\u003eAfter Midnight\u003c\/em\u003e\", that would have long-term ramifications for Cale's career when Eric Clapton recorded the song and had a Top 20 hit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCale, who was languishing in obscurity at the time, had no knowledge of Clapton's recording of \"\u003cem\u003eAfter Midnight\u003c\/em\u003e\" until it became a radio hit in 1970. Cale recalled to Mojo magazine that when he heard Clapton's version playing on his radio, \"I was dirt poor, not making enough to eat and I wasn't a young man. I was in my thirties, so I was very happy. It was nice to make some money.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCale's friend and producer, Audie Ashworth, encouraged Cale to record a full album in order to capitalize on the success of his song.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Music On Vinyl","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":50466866331979,"sku":"304299","price":8.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"LP","offer_id":50466866528587,"sku":"2216611","price":32.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/2e49cc86-ba76-499b-82c4-a7e9445baca8_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727326875","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/fr\/products\/naturally-4","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
