You can thank JJ Cale as a pioneer for the “Tulsa Sound.” A combination of blues, rock, country, and jazz, with laid-back grooves and minimalist instrumentation. Playing local clubs and bands in the 50s and 60s, Cale was no stranger to Tulsa’s vibrant music scene. You can hear how he pays tribute to his home state in the album TO TULSA AND BACK.
