I have loved Robert Cray ever since I saw him in a black and white video sitting on a stool just with his guitar singing Smoking Gun on December 31st 1989 in New York at Radio City Music Hall. I grew up with Blues playing Brothers, eight of them with two number one bands when they were in their teens. The blues and the Beatles where the two different genres met were the Blues. My lullabies. All the blues doing this make me smile. And Robert Cray young Bob so dubbed by BB King is the best of them. I love especially, his way of singing and playing that "rubberbander sounding" guitar of his!, as I call it. Reminiscent of Robert Johnson and Lightnin' Hopkins...ha ha! So god,...I wonder, right next door, the dream, I can't go home and of course, Strong Persuader. I. Cover them all with my brothers...' can't be beat! Thanks babyyy. :)

God given talent on display. He's brought tears to my eyes....not the songs or lyrics. Just because he is soooo good. The complete package as far as playing and singing. My all time favorite

My favourite guitar and voice. The guitar is crisp and clear like a bell and every tone is a surprise with another sound. No effects, no distortion , a true guitar. Fantastic voice and guitar speech. Thats the real pure sound and feeling. Great !!!!!

Been a huge fan for 20+ years. Seen him live 5 times and never disappointed. His band members change, but his soulful blues sound never does, a big tribute to his leadership, and his chops.

In my humble opinion, Robert Cray sounds better live than album recording. Of course, it's best to hear him in person. Seen him twice in concert this year; it's been an absolute pleasure.

I was first exposed to Robert Cray around 1986 or 87 with the Strong Persuader album and I wore out the tape playing it on road trips. So crazy how the same kind of music can still have its own unique sound with such great artists.

So tasteful and understated. Completely beautiful.

Robert Cray all day. You can tell his sound from miles away. This is the very first time I got to see in a full concert. I'm enjoying every bit of it. I respect unique artists.

Just saw him 4 nights ago. He's 70 and still kicking ass!! He's such a STRONG PERSUADER!!

Robert has always been one of cleanest Guitar Bluesmen around , can't help dig his work...

I heard him sometime in the 80s the first time. I instantly knew he is an icon of the electric blues. Great tone and feel.

Pure Guitar tone.

He really feels it with his heart and soul just as blues should be, I like his voice too

What a magical voice, and Robert Cray is a solid player too. Perfect live performance.

Robert Cray Is Great 👍👍

i,m glad cray is one of those old school artists who still young and great to bring such genuine blues . just amazing , i need few years to listen to his stuff

Karl Sevareid , one of the very best bass players ever.

No pedal board. Just the Man, his ax, and his amps. Beautiful.

Lucky enough to see him at a festival in Australia, blistering hot day, fantastic set, Then even luckier to meet him after the set, a complete gentleman, so talented yet he hardly raised a sweat. Thank you, will never forget it.

In my opinion the number one Blues guitar player of all the times! Feeling, groove, technical... i cried together his guitar on music "Twenty" coz my mother passed away on 12/03/2017. I had confuses feelings listening to this song. God Bless You Robert Cray! Thank you very much muzone for share this precious live performance!

I love this guitaris and blues singer !!!!!fantastic !

Fusion of man and guitar.

THIS GUY IS A GOLD MINE FOR BLUES a.k.a GOOD MUSIC!

It sure makes me proud to be an old man when I see these old guys playing at their work. Very fine.

so pure sound, so pure voice, Robert Cray, amazing !!!

Fantastic Voice, Guitarist, and songwriter, vastly underrated, saw him live back in about 1982, would love to see him again, hopefully he'll tour UK again soon

This guy has so much feel for the blues, you can literally hear his voice during his solos

I went to see Robert Cray live in Manchester UK. The best concert I ever went to. In front of me there was a woman constantly taking photos with flash. Robert Cray stopped for a second and said to her "get out of my groove"....needless to say that was her last photo of the evening..

What can I say ??? The only sensible thing to do is to stay put and enjoy this blessing from God. Anything other than that is sheer foolishness! Greetings from Teresina , Piauí state, Brazil.

One of the best. Talk about smooth operator.

Vere, vere, gout, sinkerist, o, rompert, grei, ❤❤❤❤❤❤

Cray was on fire that night. holy smokes!

Why haven't I heard this man before? His sound is hypnotic and filled with soul. Reminds me of Tony Joe White with more WHAM. His voice is smooth. His music and drum beat kept me on the edge of my seat, still taping to the music. I'll be back. Love this man's music.

Around 30 minutes, you will 'time makes two love' which is a great song he played at Eric Clapton's guitar festival where he quite some time ago and I think it was the Cotton Bowl. It is on my DVD given to me by Kev and Shan as it was maybe his first where he simply wrote everyone he wanted to hear (of course it included Robert Cray) and he was doing his best to stay sober while being such a brilliant mind, he had to seek help from others and he openly let people know throughout the world. His good friend, Jeff Beck, made it a point to have a cold pint after his session just to remind everyone that not all people who drink are drunks that have to tell the world.

Robert Crazy is amazing. xoxo :)

What Tone! Amazing.

Simply Monster 🎵🎼🎶🎵🎼🎶🎸😎👊

"Twenty" Blues at its best-music and the lyric heart breaking..."mother dont you cry".

Simply Fantástic this show 🎵🎼🎶🎤🎸😎👊

For me the introduction to Robert Cray came through a Freddie King Greatest Hits album featuring Help Me Through The Day - with that song I was hooked on the Blues. I went to the local music store and asked if they had anything similar and they told me about this guy called Robert Cray that had just released a new album called Strong Persuader. They put it on in the store and we stood there listening to the entire album together, wow, what an experience that was. At 14 years of age I knew that my life had just taken a turn, I had found the meaning of life, in a musical sense. Since then and to this day, now in my forties I have been and forever will be a devoted fan of his music.

GREAT SINGER, THEY'RE ALL GREAT MUSICIANS AND BEAUTIFUL MUSIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

When all others like to tickle the strings Mr. Robert uses a Jack Hammer approach to guitar playing. Don't get me wrong I'm an old (Cough cough) fan and I love his style. There's no doubt about it "you know him when you hear him!"

Seen him play at the RAINBOW PALACE in Seattle back in 85' Been a fan ever since. Great vocals and a superb musician/guitarist. Was suppose to be on the same helicopter SRV died on back in 1990. WOW how time has passed. Love ya RC

grande...

always loved the tone he was able to get!!!

i adore you Robert from Budapest

I think of Robert Cray when I hear Lucinda Williams sing about, “Real live bleeding fingers and broken guitar strings.” Seeing him live was a revelation. I have never heard anyone, anytime, play guitar with more intensity. Genius!

I was in a 7-11 on Queen Anne Hill in Seattle in 1987 standing in line to buy my stuff, and the magazines were below the sales clerk on the front counter. Robert Cray was on the cover of Rolling Stone, so I was eyeballing the cover, then turned around and who do you think was in line behind me?! I pointed to the magazine and pointed back to him and he smiled and shook head 'yes'. I had seen him a few times live and was a fan, and let him know how amazing he is. He was very soft spoken and thanked me for liking his music. A class act all the way. (And yes, I know... I should have bought the magazine and had him sign it, but I felt that would be cheesy)

Fantastic Cray

Brilliant...clear voice....coolest music.

SMOOTH😎😎😎
