5 is the fifth album by JJ Cale. Released in 1979, it was his first album for three years. Most of the tracks were recorded and mixed at The Lakehouse, Old Hickory, Tennessee. When the album was re-issued on CD, for unknown reasons "Katy Kool Lady" was replaced by a new song, though it was still listed as the former on the CD. This song was later included on the 2007 album Rewind: The Unreleased Recordings under the name of "Out of Style".[1][2][3][4][5]

Background

5 marks the first appearance of Christine Lakeland on a J.J. Cale album, a singer and musician who would play a significant role in Cale's music in the years ahead.

Paste,[6] All About Jazz[7] and Glide Magazine[8] highly praised "Don't Cry Sister", Twisted Ear called the version "terrible".[9] A live version of their recording appered in 2016 on the album Live in San Diego. From 1984 until 2004, the song appeared on the compilation albums Special Edition (1984, Island), Best of J. J. Cale (1993, Island), Anyway the Wind Blows: The Anthology (1997, Island), The Definitive Collection (1998, Island), Classic J.J. Cale: The Universal Masters Collection (1999, Universal), 20th Century Masters – The Millennium Collection: The Best of J.J. Cale (2002, Universal), Singers And Songwriters: Pure & Simple (2003, Time) and The Ultimate Collection (2004, Universal).[10]

"Katy Kool Lady" was released as a single with the non-album track "Jaurez Blues" as the b-side.
