song performed live.
"After Midnight" is a rock song written by J. J.
Cale, which was later successfully covered by Eric Clapton. The
laid back boogie feel of "After Midnight" is a prime example of
Cale's signature style. Cale had written the song and released a
demo version in 1966.
"After Midnight" was also in many ways the catalyst for Cale's own
solo recording career. Cale was unaware of Clapton's recording of
the song until it became a radio hit in 1970. He recalled to Mojo
magazine that when he heard Clapton’s version playing on his
radio, “I was dirt poor, not making enough to eat and I
wasn’t a young man. I was in my thirties, so I was very
happy. It was nice to make some money.” Cale's friend and
producer Audie Ashworth then encouraged him to capitalize on the
song's success by recording a full album, Naturally, released in
1971. The single by Cale reached #42 on the Billboard Hot 100 in
1972.
Cale released a live version on the album Live in 2001.
