Sneak Peak Thursday

We’re featuring two special sneak previews for youse to devour today. The first requires no introduction whatsoever — take a gander at what the movie’s poster calls “The Greatest Motion Picture Of All Time”: Tenacious D: The Pick of Destiny.

The second preview comes from the long-awaited album collaboration of unheralded country ‘n blues legend JJ Cale and his musical doppelganger, Eric Clapton. Slow Hand’s definitey made a solid name for himself off JJ Cale’s non-hits, and now the two will surely make each other rich together instead of separately. Here’s a quick recap of their new disc, The Road To Escondido:

In a true collaboration, Cale and Clapton jointly produced and recorded the album, each playing and singing on the tracks. Cale wrote 11 of the songs, Clapton wrote “Three Little Girls,” John Mayer wrote “Hard To Thrill” and the duo cover the blues classic “Sporting Life Blues.” J.J. Cale’s touring band accompanies them on the album as well as guest musicians including, Taj Mahal, John Mayer, Derek Trucks, Doyle Bramhall II, Albert Lee, Nathan East, Willie Weeks and Steve Jordan. Particularly special is the involvement of Billy Preston, who donated his classic keyboard talents throughout the album. The album is dedicated to Preston and Clapton’s late friend Brian Roylance.

And now, enjoy video clip of Eric and JJ in action: QuickTime; Windows Media.
