For his 2006 collaboration album with Eric Clapton 2006 album "The Road to Escondido" J.J. won Greammy award for the Best Contemporary Blues Album Grammy category in 2008.
Cale's songs "Cocaine", "Call Me The Breeze", "After Midnight" are kind of hard-party anthems that defined rock for a long period of time.
