I have to confess, I moved to Tulsa from Amarillo in 1972 & lived in a singles apartment complex. We all mingled & did things together. Then there was an outdoor concert at the fair grounds with Leon & J J. Being from Texas, all I knew about was Buddy Holly & Roy Orbison. When I said, "Who are Leon & J J?", I was pummeled with beer cans. Never mind, I went to the concert & was rocked back (or should I say forward). I learned what the "Tulsa Sound" was. But! It took Eric Clapton to get it out there. So I say, thank god for J J, Leon, & Eric.
As a musician for over 50 years I know this stuff too well. NO ONE and I mean NO ONE could produce music like these two together and boy did they have fun doing it!!!! They tore it up!!!!! They made every UK wannabe blues boy want to be them.
