Eric Clapton is premiering his cover of “Cajun Moon” as a preview to an upcoming tribute album the guitarist has organized to honor one of his musical mentors, J.J. Cale.
Due July 29, “Eric Clapton & Friends: The Breeze, An Appreciation of JJ Cale”, features a collection of 16 Cale tunes revisited by Clapton, Mark Knopfler, John Mayer, Willie Nelson, Tom Petty, Derek Trucks and Don White.
“Cajun Moon” originally appeared on Cale’s third album, 1974’s “Okie.”
It’s the second track issued in advance of the project’s release; check out “Call Me The Breeze” here.
