Cale. "Call Me The Breeze '' appeared on Cale's first solo album, a 1971 release called Naturally. Lynyrd Skynyrd covered “Call Me The Breeze '' on their albums Second Helping (1974) and the live album One More from the Road (1976). Lynyrd Skynyrd decided to cover Cale’s song when guitarist Gary Rossington came up with a riff that distinguished it from the original. Of Skynyrd’s rendition of “Call Me the Breeze,” Cale said that it afforded him the money to have more freedom in how and when he made his music and was always honored when other artists covered his songs. "Call Me The Breeze'' was one of the few cover songs Skynyrd recorded. They recorded another J.J. Cale song, “Same Old Blues”, on their 1976 album Gimme Back My Bullets, and had plans to work with Cale again. Those plans never came to fruition after a 1977 plane crash killed three members of Lynyrd Skynyrd.
