Top 10 J.J. Cale Songs:

10. When This War Is Over (with Eric Clapton) (The Road To Escondido, 2006)
9. Crazy Mama (Naturally, 1972)
8. Cajun Moon (Okie, 1974)
7. Call Me The Breeze (Naturally, 1972)
6. Carry On (Shades, 1981)
5. Lies (Really, 1973)
4. After Midnight (Naturally, 1972)
3. Cocaine (Troubador, 1976)
2. Magnolia (Naturally, 1972)
1. Sensitive Kind (5, 1979)

Sure, Breeze has a similar feel to When This War Is Over,  that's because they both keep the mix of blues and bluegrass to its essence. And while some of his songs from the 1980s were very well-written, I have trouble with drum machines and the overall 80s sound, which is why only the sublime and subtle Carry On made the list.
