Clapton and Cale together

After too many years, Eric Clapton and J.J. Cale have recorded an album together. The Road to Escondido won't be released until November 7, but DownWithTyranny has heard it:

So wasn't I in for a shock this afternoon when a mutual friend took me for a drive and played me The Road to Escondido the new Clapton/J.J. Cale album due out November 7, election day.

The "political" song is called "When This War is Over" and, like most of the album, it is sung by Eric and J.J.

When this war is over
It will be a better day
But it won't bring back
Those poor boys in their grave

I don't have a copy of the CD and I can't recall all the lyrics but I remember asking if they sat down and wrote some lines with Jack Murtha:

Gotta get a plan
Change our ways, you know
