Really is the second album by J.J. Cale. It was released in 1973.

Background

Really was produced by Audie Ashworth, who would go on to produce Cale until 1983. Cale was very proud that bluegrass musicians Uncle Josh Graves and Vassar Clements played on Really, later recalling to Derek Halsey of Swampland.com in 2004, "That was one of the highlights of my life, man. We recorded that out at Bradley’s Barn, and I was a big fan of Lester Flatt and Earl Scruggs. And, of course, Josh was the Dobro player on that stuff, and Vassar was 'Mister bluegrass fiddle player', and both of those guys came out to the studio and played that day. They were like Buddy Emmons in the studio; they were so good you just kind of quit playing and dug what they were playing."[4]

In 2009 the album was re-released, with Naturally, as a French exclusive 24-track 2-CD album set, as part of Universal Records' '2 For 1' series.
