I have now listened all his albums & I must admit I have had a wrong opinion about his music. All of his albums are just great! (well only exception is Road to Escondido. And I think itīs just Claptonīs fault. Even most of the songs are Caleīs, I think Clapton has been in the lead of the whole album. I think heīs the one who liked to be in lead, not Cale, so the album sounds as boring as the Claptonīs after seventies albums).
I really love Caleīs minimalist mountain blues!
This is the great ending of his career (last song of his last album):
