He still does! ❤

Ever notice he was the bass player in Animal House backing (My man!!!!) Otis Day?

I completely agree, I wish other pieces of his music had come through. Every time I hear it I love it.This very well could have been produced last year, except for one thing, the music industry wouldn't choose anything that makes sense or sounds like something😅!

I saw him just a few years ago and he is still incredible live!

Just saw him on Friday and nothing has changed.

How was it?

Crazy woman man

Nice one.

But missed that he writes music that we all can relate to!

And that person has the music 'list' I want!!

Very close

Robert Cray is Robert Cray he is an individual not like anyone. He didn't need to be.

damn skippy and

Yes been listening to him since the 80s, a great musician, I just love listening to him.

George Benson but it’s not a comp

Seeing him tomorrow night in Peachtree City, GA

best guitar players of all time? LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL

Daniel I'm Polish too, and grew up with something close.... Szczepanski!

I know what you mean, but he does! Look at his Grammys, and millions of his fans worldwide. Take heart -:)

@Daniel Szczepankiewicz. We played this song in our classic rock/blues band and I quickly learned that Robert Crays style is very unique. It was so fun playing the bass part to this.

When MTV played real music.

Was big on VH1, when that channel started up...

I wore his record out then. Love him

I remember too Burg. I thought he was a great guitar player but his voice is what kills them all!

amen

amen

Robert cray

an artist with few peers.

He is so suave

He played on stage next to MR.B.B.KING how much more can you get. Recognized by the KING OF BLUES

He probably was it’s 1986

Looked 23 in 2009? He looked to be around his 50's in 2009...

Well said.....love him

AMEN

Exactly. His style is so deliberate and straightforward. You have no doubts about where he’s coming from.

Well said 👍

When he was told by pros he was lazy on strings it chapped my ass. 😠

Been listening to him for a very long time he's a cool dude any places guitar very well

Look for Clapton and Cray perform Old Love on David Sanborn channel

Nothing beats a smokin gun

It's his biggest hit on the US Charts so youthful at the same time in 87 as another classy axeman Chris Rea who did Let's Dance imagine those 2 doin a duet or jam guitar solo with similar vocals

Yeah, me I dont like blues for the most part but this guy can definitly play. And I actully like this one.

He doesn't show off nearly as much as he could. And that is fine by me. Seen him many times.

@@chrisharrison2214 saw him in 1988 Austin, Texas. Solid as a rock. He deserves better treatment from the music world IMO.

So true.. I remember first hearing him in the 90s in Miami. I said wow this guy is great !"

@@johnannadavis8411He was definitely an influence on my early playing. He is widely respected and appreciated among musicians, but I agree overall his talent is greatly under appreciated in general.

Lol, I just read your same comment on “Right next door” except you were 15 then🤣. RC is the epitome of cool.

I guess it's because of tbe implication that he realized something doesn't add up(Not an even sum) 😏

3 is an odd number, silly...

Correct xx

Dosent need explaining. Think we know

@@dcharles1798 That's the point... Robert knows 3 is an odd number, he even says it's not an even sum.... The common saying is,"Put 2 and 2 together," meaning make it even and reason.... Robert put 1 and 2 together meaning it doesn't add up correctly. :)

Amen to that

Turn it up baby ✌️

Have listened to John Lee Hooker or Canned Heat?

@@diana7043 yes I have.Always liked Canned Heat.😎✌️

pbloo574 Dads cool. I played the vinyl off this lp. Seeing him live is amazing

pbloo574 how did that happen???

lrp team. seals.

pbloo574 You will be glad you did!!!

you should be ashamed

Not a good analogy but he's the frank Sinatra of the blues+ he's a great guitar player: so smooth it's uncouth

Amazing talent, great voice, unique guitar style.

I believe you've achieved the height of American Literature... fuckin A straight....

golfnporsches1 I always wanted to be a writer but I kept putting it off. Now almost no one reads anymore.

I still play this album regularly and leave impressed with the songwriting, vocals and guitar packed into this album. True classic.

Definitely ❤

Turn it up baby✌️

Shiiii I was born in the 80s 🤣 🍀

Me2 Brilliant isn't he😙

Me too...since the 80's as well. Smooth!!!

He's good for a black dude 😸

@@bilbobaggins4710 what do u mean for a black dude? That's bullshit! What does color have to with talent?

amen

BB King 2.0

I was offered the job of being the guitarists in that band in the Animal House movie. I turned it down because I didn't want to have to get my hair cut short. That turned out to be one of the stupidest decisions I ever made. My friend Tommy Smith got that job instead. I met DeWayne Jessie who played the singer Otis Day about 10 years ago when he came to see me play at a dive bar in Eugene, Oregon. He told me it was probably one of my stupidest decisions too. He's made a pretty lucrative career playing gigs as Otis Day for the last 40 years, even though that wasn't actually him singing in the movie. I got to jam with Robert a few times way back in the late 70's before he got famous.

👍😎😁

amen

He IS fantastic silly girl. 🙂🤪🎸

@@moeshiner156 sorry... I just haven't heard anything from him for a while. I love his music. I meant no offense or upset.

@@michellemccoy3726 No worries, i was making a funny, lol. No offense or upset here. Keep on Jammin and have a good day! 🙂🙂

@@moeshiner156 Have a great week! Stay well!

The real deal and better than many!

Good stuff

Great stuff! ❤️💙❤️💙❤️💙

Daniel Schorr this dude really knows how to andle a Strat...

one of the smoothest players , makes it look so easy & effortless

Robert Cray is a bad man 🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸

Robert left the tour. Clapton’s getting weird in his older age. I’ve borrowed a lot of his licks and I always liked his blues stuff and his rock stuff. He co wrote Old Love with Robert Cray so they’ve been friends for yrs. But Clapton compared the Covid vaccine to slavery and Robert had enough and left. Their friendship’s over.

@@Utubewrk123 The concert I saw was right after Smoking gun was released..... It was along time ago.....

Same here in Denver holy shit can he play

And Phone Booth!

Wow that's soooooo true SRV was a lover of course. An awesome guitarist as well.

SRV was flying to New York in fact on that dreadful day to propose to his model girlfriend. My childhood friend Josefina Diaz also a model was living with the girl whose was going to marry SRV.

Really?? That's a news to me,but them 2 on the same stage in one night isn't out of line.

Wow. That is really poetic in its own right, their having played together on that fateful night. It has brought a year to my eye and a smile to my face at the same time...that night was a terrible end to such a monumental man and musician. But he lived on in his musical legacy.

I'm in Austin and I used to see SRV for a buck at Hut's Hamburgers. He was always talkative between sets, and after the show. Lou Ann Barton would sing with him many times there. I first saw Robert Cray when he was invited to one of the many outdoor concerts we had here with SRV and the Fabulous Thunderbirds. I weep at the thought of those days, times, we all took for granted. Never did we think we'd lose Stevie the way we did. When news of Alpine Valley broke, a stunned city populace of fellow musicians, people from all walks of life, met at the place where many T-Bird Riverfests were held. Thousands of us in tears, all of us. A radio station sent a mobile unit out, and SRV was being played non-stop. It was surreal. I had never witnessed mass mourning like that before. The man was loved by many worldwide. Our city loved him long before the rest of the world did. It didn't matter wtf style of music you played, everyone knew SRV and dug him. A statue of SRV graces the area near where thousands used to hear Our Hometown Boy play.

I agree. RC is our modern-day blues great. I remember when this album came out and it was fantastic and still is. I was playing R&B also and opening up for acts like Big Daddy Kinsey & The Kinsey Report in Detroit and Sugar Blue in Chicago.

BlackMusicGenre

you shut up. comments like that are what put the blues in a box. just because he aint playing a 12 bar slow blues doenst mean this is not the blues. this is blues bro. nothing else. YOU KNOW WHAT MAKES A SONG THE BLUES. THE GUY LAYING THE SONG DOWN. IF HE LAYS IT DOWN LIKE ITS THE BLUES THEN GUESS WHAT IT IS. END OF STORY. as a 26 year old black man playing the blues in 2018 ( and i have my whole life) comments like this are very sad to read. Robert aint no Rnb singer. he is a blues man, excuse him if he dont sound like some broken Jimmy Reed Record

Fabulous picker singer songwriter

I have a blues collection and the Mr.Robert Cray sits right their on top with Stevie Ray. Eric. Hootie

Textbook example of how to build a song with your voice and emotion, as if thats not enough, he also is PLAYING that emotion simultaneously on guitar. !!@$%%$! amazing.

My favorite

Similar to Hey Joe.

Wow

@@madgemarielayfield1556 yeah he still sounds amazing he's currently on tour. Check your area!

I love that line, too.🙂 Such a great tune!

Why a cool "WHITE" kid

Because up until I got to California in 1989 all the white people I encountered was either racist and only listened to head banger music. It was super cultural shock to me to see non segregated neighborhoods very nice white people and everyone getting along peacefully. I loved California until they started trying to make straight men gay. That was a time of awakening for me. I even hung out and partied with the red hot chili peppers and had no idea who the hell they were lol. Today they are my favorite band

You partied with the Chili Peppers and you're still with us? Congrats. I first heard Robert Cray on MTV, so I think your learning experience was a lot better than mine.

Yes I did it was sex drugs and rock and roll. I didn't know who they were until the song under the bridge came out. I said holy shit that's those crazy rockers I hung out with!

I'm listening to dreams of a samurai as we speak

Well said, Laura...

your preaching the truth

you are so right !!!

Laura Dee, We will never let it die...😎😎😎

You Hit that one hard and it went out of the park.

Great musician
