Grasshopper (1982)

"The seventh album of revered J.J. Cale, "Grasshopper" (1982) continues where he left off with his previous album "Shades": tight, stripped-down country rock but with an increased energy level. Some even call the album pop, which isnt so strange when listening to songs like City Girls and Nobody But You (the latter which incorporates an amazingly infectious horn section). As always, J.J. Cale doesnt disappoint with "Grasshopper", taking his solid recognizable sound one step further into the eighties." (Bertus / MOV)
