about

“Don’t Go to Strangers” by J.J. Cale
“A cover should result in an interpretation of a melody, hopefully one that’s not heard often enough. And especially on a bluesy song such as this one, that’s not exactly country. Like I did with traditionally constructed mountain ballads "Ballad of Jr. and Lloyd" and "Cash on the Barrelhead," I was trying to take "Strangers" into a different emotional direction with the application of pedal steel.”

lyrics

Don't Go To Strangers (J.J.Cale)
If I'm standing in a crowd
Call my name, call it loud
Don't go to strangers,
Woman call on me

Wave your arms in the air
Let me know that you're there
When in doubt,
Oh, woman call on me

Br:Don't leave me here to rust
Don't let me turn to dust
Oh, woman, when in doubt
Call on me
