    Glad you enjoyed it! I first heard Magnolia when Poco covered the song and immediately fell in love with the lyrics and arrangement. Paul Cotton's lead vocal, Timothy B Schmit harmonizing, Rusty Young and his steel guitar playing, etc A couple of years later I discoverd JJ Cale and his earlier association with the song as writer and performer (recorded 1971) and loved him and this beautiful song he wrote ever since.

    Eric Clapton was of course known for his love of J.J. Cale. On the tribute album The Breeze he contributes the song Someday accompanied by my beloved Mark Knopfler.

    Such a beautiful tribute to JJ. I think Eric Clapton and Friends chose some really special songs, I never get tired of listening to Someday it's such a beautiful song and arrangement. Mark Knopfler is a brilliant, truly gifted artist.
