What is the name of the Eric Clapton and Albert Lee album released in 2015?

The story behind the answer

The Eric Clapton and Albert Lee-associated album is The Breeze: An Appreciation of JJ Cale. More precisely, it is credited to Eric Clapton & Friends and features a large ensemble of guest musicians, including Albert Lee. The album was released in 2014, despite the question's reference to 2015.

The record is a tribute to American singer-songwriter J. J. Cale, whose relaxed Tulsa sound strongly influenced Clapton. It consists of covers of Cale compositions, including “Call Me the Breeze,” the song that supplied the album's title. Cale had died in 2013, giving the project a commemorative purpose.

Guests include Tom Petty, Mark Knopfler, Willie Nelson and John Mayer, alongside Clapton and Lee. Simon Climie co-produced the album with Clapton. The title can be confused with Clapton compilations such as Crossroads, but those are retrospective collections rather than this dedicated J. J. Cale tribute.
