"After Midnight" is a rock song written by
J. J. Cale. The laidback boogie feel of "After Midnight" is a prime example of Cale's signature style. Though Cale wrote the song, it first appeared on
Eric Clapton's
eponymous 1970 album, and Clapton's recording remains the most well known version of the song. Cale had written the song and released a demo version in
1966. Several years later, when Clapton was preparing for his first solo album,
Tulsa bassist
Carl Radle, who was working with Clapton at the time, introduced him to the song.
