J.J. Cale’s “Okie” is a country blues rock album, released in 1974. The album features Cale’s distinctive finger-picking style and smooth vocals. The songs on the album deal with themes of life, love, and struggle, with Cale’s laid-back delivery perfectly capturing the often-hardscrabble world he sings about. Some of the notable tracks on the album include “Crying,” “I’m a Gypsy Man,” and “Okie.” “Okie” was well-received by critics and helped solidify Cale’s reputation as a major force in rock and roll.
