Mark Knopfler
Eric Clapton
The Tulsa Sound’s influence spread far beyond Oklahoma… through artists who borrowed its groove, like Mark Knopfler, and especially Eric Clapton, who championed J.J. Cale’s songs & style. Clapton made Tulsa understatement sound powerful. #EricClapton #MarkKnopfler #TulsaSound #OneHitWondered
Leon Russell
Elvin Bishop
Carl Radle
J.J. Cale was a key architect whose laid-back guitar style, muted vocals, and deep sense of rhythm helped define the sound. He wasn’t alone, though... Leon Russell, Elvin Bishop, Carl Radle, and other Tulsa players helped shape the city’s rich musical sound. #TulsaSound #OneHitWondered

The Tulsa Sound? The Tulsa Sound was born in Tulsa, Oklahoma… part rockabilly, part blues, part country, part swampy R&B, and a lot of groovin.’ It was relaxed, funky, stripped down, and never in a hurry…I’ve heard it described as ‘less flash, more feel’. #TulsaSound #OneHitWondered

Seriously, whoever handles the music for #TheLowdown deserves a raise. That use of JJ Cale's "Call Me The Breeze" in the E2 opening scene was sublime. Perfect background track. 👌 #fx #hulu #TulsaSound #JJCale
The Lowdown Pilot nailed the vibe right out of the gate with some classic JJ Cale. THE Tulsa sound, and an amazing, underrated musician. Best part of the episode so far! 🎸 #TulsaSound #JJCale #TheLowdown #FX
