John Weldon "J. J." Cale (December
5, 1938 – July 26, 2013) was an American guitarist, singer, and songwriter.
Though he avoided the limelight, his influence as a musical artist has been
widely acknowledged by figures such as Mark
Knopfler, Neil Youngand Eric Clapton,
who described him as "one of the most important artists in the history of
rock". He is considered to be one of the originators of the Tulsa Sound,
a loose genre drawing on blues, rockabilly,
country,
and jazz.
In 2008, Cale, along with Clapton, received a
Grammy Awardfor their album The
Road to Escondido.
Grasshopper is a 1982 albumby J. J. Cale.
It was his seventh
studio album since his debut in 1972.
From the California
shore to New York City
The beat don't never stop
You can hear it on the radio anywhere you go
It's steady as the rhythm of a clock
It cuts through the noise of the city life
It won't seem to go away
It's the devil in disguise I tell you no lies
My fingers do the walking everyday
Yonder comes a young girl she wants to take a whirl
She thinks it's all a dream
She got rock and roll way down in her soul
She wants to know where's the limousine
Get up honey let your mama sit down
You're too young anyway
The devil in disguise give her the prize
Then you can carry her away
When the road I travel starts to unravel
Every which way it goes
The beat starts to press on my bullet proof vest
And my high turns out to be low
Give me my guitar I'm going to go far
Let me see it let me hold it in my hand
I'm the devil in disguise I tell you no lies
I'm playing in a rock 'n roll band.

YEAR: 1976
Desire is the seventeenth studio album by
American singer-songwriter Bob Dylan,
released on January 5, 1976 by Columbia
Records.
It is one of Dylan's most collaborative
efforts, featuring the same caravan of musicians as the acclaimed Rolling
Thunder Revuetours the previous year (later
documented on The Bootleg Series Vol. 5).
Many of the songs also featured backing vocals by Emmylou Harrisand Ronee Blakley.
Most of the album was co-written by Jacques
Levy, and is composed of lengthy story-songs, two
of which quickly generated controversy: the 11-minute-long "Joey",
which is seen as glorifying the violent gangster "Crazy
Joey" Gallo, and "Hurricane", the opening track that
tells a passionate account of the murder case against boxer Rubin Carter,
whom the song asserts was framed. Carter was released in 1985, after a judge
overturned his conviction on appeal.
A well-received follow-up to Blood
on the Tracks, Desire reached Nº.1on theBillboardPop Albums chart for five weeks, becoming one of Dylan's bestselling
studio albums, and was certified double Platinum; the album reached Nº.3in the UK. It claimed theNº.1slot onNME
Album of the Year. Rolling Stonenamed Desire Nº.174on its list ofThe 500 Greatest Albums of All Time. It was
voted number 761 in the third edition of Colin
Larkin's All Time Top 1000 Albums(2000).

[Verse 1]
I like to spend some time in Mozambique
The sunny sky is aqua blue
And all the couples dancing cheek to cheek
It’s very nice to stay a week or two
And maybe fall in love, just me and you
[Instrument Break]
[Verse 2]
There’s lot of pretty girls in Mozambique
And plenty time for good romance
And everybody likes to stop and speak
To give the special one you seek a chance
Or maybe say hello with just a glance
[Instrument Break]
[Verse 3]
Lying next to her by the ocean
Reaching out and touching her hand
Whispering your secret emotion
Magic in a magical land
[Verse 4]
And when it’s time for leaving Mozambique
To say goodbye to sand and sea
You turn around to take a final peek
And you see why it’s so unique to be
Among the lovely people living free
Upon the beach of sunny Mozambique
[Instrumental Break]
