T ulsa Time was written by Danny Flowers, not J.J. Cale.

Funny you should mention Cale........

Clapton had hits with two Cale songs too.
After Midnight
Cocaine


and Lynyrd Skynyrd did
Call Me The Breeze

Flowers may have been in Williams' band but not sure of it....

And it was written by JJ Cale. I'm sure he's recorded it as well.

No, it wasn't. As I stated a couple of days ago and another poster did
yesterday, "Tulsa Time" was written by Eric Clapton's guitar player (at
the time) Danny Flowers.I recall getting a publicity pic at that time of
Clapton, Floers and Don Williams together, taken at a show.

It's the same song. I saw Billy Ray last night on Crook & Chase,
and he looks like he's changed his image (I don't know if this
includes tucking his shirt in). He was talking about his recent
big wins at the fanatically driven awards show, and his appearance
looked a bit more kept. After Billy Ray, they had some very brief
clips of Tanya from fan fair, who looked great, as always, and
then Suzy Bogguss came on. I remember thinking, for all of Stella's
talk of her, she looks like such an unconflicted person.

You are right, Danny Flower was the leader of Don Williams' band, called The
Scratch Band. In 1982 this band released an album of its own.

They're not "the same song". They use the same chord runs, but that's it.

Many songs have the same chords, but that doesn't make them "the same".

Yes, line dancers use the same dances for both songs, but that's not a
valid comparison. At our shows, we go from Achy Breaky Heart right into
Boot
Scootin' Boogie and the dance floor doesn't lose a beat.

Achy Breaky Heart is a relatively lively song, while Tulsa Time is subdued
by comparision. The two songs have different themes, bass lines (rock vs
drive)
and melodies.

To use your line of thinking, Are you Sure Hank Done It That Way and Tulsa
Time are "the same song" because they also have the same chord structure.
