RIP JJ.

He was super popular in Australia, amongst the bourbon drinking, bong smoking, laid back biker set, at a time when that kind of swampy Blues -Rock was almost mainstream out here.

Must have sold a truckload of albums around these parts in the 70's -early Eighties.

That kind of stuff now makes up the Baby Boomer Blues and Roots festivals around the country.

That's a shame. I'll always have fond memories of listening to 'Naturally' as a teenager. He had something that was very him and no one else managed to reproduce
