One of the things I really appreciate about Robert Cray, is the completely unadorned nature of his performances. He just shows up on stage in a pair of slacks and a plain long-sleeved shirt, picks up his guitar, and begins to play and sing. No flashing lights, no costumes, no jumping around like a cricket on a hot skillet. Just great musicianship, great singing, and superb songwriting. So refreshing.
@ Grey Jay... I just want to say I appreciate that you appreciate Robert Cray. Less is more with R.C. Nobody is smoother and fluid like in his guitar mastery. Jam on Brother in these confusing times we are in.
Cool song, I am lated deaf, do remember a couple next door thin walls back in the day, keeping me and my girl friends awake with their arguments, sort of a middle of night soap opera,ha!🤔😎
I TRUELY APPRECIATE EVERY WORD ALL OF HIS FANS HAVE TO SAY. YOU LET ME KNOW THAT I AM NOT ALONE. HIS MUSIC HAS BEEN A PART OF MY LIFE. THANKS XANMAN714😁😁😁
Absolutely spot on! This man is a living legend, and one of the greatest blues guitarists of all time! its straight from the heart with this guy! as well as the whole band but Robert ( Night Train! ) Cray! and Richard are just at the top of their game! Blew the roof off the place in NJ August 26th!
He sounds as good as he did in the 70's!! This guy has been around for a lot longer than most think. He has played with the best and is one of the best. Not flash, just pure talent
Maybe but he plays with great force he really digs in those strings very hard. I think he improvise too in this song falsetto singing some places and guitar solo little different than record. He plays only few notes but they mean a lot.
Mark Knopfler is another unappreciated talent. People have heard of Dire Straits, of course. Incredibly most do not know the name of the guy up front. When new MK records are released, only those "in the know" realize what is there. He's been putting out new recordings about every two years,, starting with Golden Heart in'96, he's been making new music on a regular basis. Of artists that are close to him in age, he is the only one who consistently puts out great new music.
I don't think he wants the fame and the stardom. Not that he doesn't deserves it. He's a frontman, lest we forget. At this point he knows hes appreciated by the ones that listens to him. He's reconized in the industry, having won Grammys, tells us this, but He never went after the ''Big Fame'' as a choice, I think. Never had that ''Attitude'' that alot of artists have ( all discipline included ) of the rock star. He never cared and I always respected him so much for that. And its also why he strikes such a deep chord into me. I Love his guitar playing and its always SO on point, its crazy. But I always loved him so much more for his vocal, they soots my soul to the core.
Introduced to him.byba friend when he was touring up and down the west coast and i knew he was to become a big sensation. And that he is...when Eric Clapton met him..he said where have you been ?!!!
I grew in the Stevie Ray Vaugn error in Austin, Texas and was fortunate enough to get to see some of the best blues any young bass player could hope to see over a lifetime if they were lucky. Always thought Robert Cray was a class act. The blues is the blues, but when you can put your own stamp and signature on your own blues, thats when it's special. Freddy King, Buddy Guy, Stevie, Rober Cray, Albert Collins, were the soundtrack to my story.
I'm 66 years old... I've been to the BEST concerts this world has to offer... but the one.....I'm gonna cry... lol... the ONE..... the BEST CONCERT was Stevie Ray Vaughan and Rober Cray.... on the "RIVER BOAT NATCHEZ" we left the dock in New Orleans... and what happened next was the most incredible performance by two eficianado gutarists!! They did a "DUALING GUTIAR' deal... and they were breakin the strings, and new guitars were being thrown to'em .. it was un FUCKN' BELIEVABLE!!! I've been to the best.... I've seen the best... THIS was now 40 years later..... the ultimate concert as we rolled down the Mighty Mississippi!!! I'll take it to my grave....
Saw him open for Huey Lewis News and yes, Tina Turner ( Thunder Dome) tour, no joke, in Auburn , AL at University Coliseum there, i was 10? Incredible from what I can remember.,....would later come to appreciate RC' s music/ and no effects style much more as I got older, listing, playing guitar...
First time I ever saw Robert Cray Band was about 15 years ago when he opened for Buddy Guy. Couldn't have cared less about the headliner, Robert Cray Band stole the show. They were so smooth and so tight, I remember just closing my eyes and taking it all in. It was like I was listening to a CD but with so much heartfelt emotion and dynamics. Robert Cray is a master and without a doubt the best live act I have ever seen.
I just saw Robert and his band in Clearwater last night. Blows me away. It’s been six years between performances and last night was spot on. His guitar is so clean. His voice is amazing. It doesn’t sound as if he’s aged a day. A living legend.
I was fortunate to see him at an empty Garden District mansion in New Orleans very late one summer evening. Maybe 30 people there. Warm beer. Warm whiskey. Sticky with sweat and smoke. Ghosts were dancing in the shadows. He shook the house to the rafters. Been a fan ever since!
Saw Robert Cray Band on Saturday in Edinburgh on his current tour. He’s just so good, as was the rest of the band. An absolute must see - pure class all round👏👏👏
I have seen Robert, little Bob Cray 3 times in KC, every show I wished would not stop. In 1990 I bought an old 1970 MGBGT with a cassette player in it and put the tape Strong Persuader in the tape deck, it stayed there for 3 years until I sold the car, so if you rode with me in the MGBGT, you were going to hear Robert Cray, or get out of the car and walk to your destination, no hard feelings of course. The sound of the car and Robert Cray was fantastic to the ear.
Rick! I'm blown away you're a MG and a Robert Cray fan!! Next time you're in Seattle, contact me. I'll give you an address of a certain blues club in Tacoma!
Richard Cousins, you're really good, without your way of bass playing this song would never exist ,,, congratulations, .. .Robert ...without comment, ...always good!
This is otherworldly...from start to finish he grabs a hold of your heart and holds it tight and doesn't let go till he's done..Robert thank you for this.
Anyone who had played guitar knows how difficult it is to do that. Especially when you close your eyes and let the music flow. Most people wouldn't think it to be that way. But it is. Respect.
@@guinness77100 That bit at the end is quite impressive, many people try to play with dynamics like that but I never heard someone pull it off this good. Also, this is an insanely amazing live sound!
Young Bobby has more talent in a cut off piece of his toenail, than any song writer,singer, guitar player, vocalist, composer, front man, genius.. ON THIS PLANET PERIOD YO!!! If anyone ever has the chance to see Bobby Live, jump on it!!! His shows are a fucking treat!! I once was at one of his performances, couldn't get tickets to get in... I found a piece of cardboard had a sharpie in my whip,and wrote NEED 3 TICKETS on it. After holding the cardboard in front of every person possible, I said fuck this,and went over to a guy who was guarding a side door, gave him 60 bucks to let the three of us in. No problem dude, he then guided us right up in front of the stage, damn shit couldn't be any better yo!! Show started, it was awesome, big time, I held up my cardboard along with a sharpie,and just held it there,after his show a person was shining a flashlight, and pointing at my face then he called me over,and said Mr. Cray wants to give me his autograph,wow I was in disbelief so I gave him my cardboard that says NEED 3 TICKETS then took it backstage, and Yong Bobby signed it he gave it back to me. It's been 20 years, and I still have it framed hanging in my music room. Young Bobby, I love you my Irish cousin. Keep on with the keeping on cuz!!
I seen Robert Cray in 1986 in Hampton VA opening for Huey Lewis. I didn't even know who the hell he was at the time, but I've been a huge fan ever since. Thanks for posting this.
Terrell I first fell in love with Robert Cray as he began his professional career in Eugene, Oregon in 1974. I knew this man had extream talent and presence!!
What a bassline accompanied by such an incredible voice..He really was born with a guitar in his hand ..I love the ending of this version it has a doors vibe to it !!
Saw Robert Cray with Clapton at the United Center in Chicago in 2006, Cray joined Clapton and the band for the song "Old Love" and played the longest guitar solo of the night. He brought the house down! That and Clapton's solo on I shot the sheriff were the highlights of the night.
Saw Robert at the Grand Opra in Wilmington, DE in 2000 or 2001. Had a half hour conversation with him outside in the cold. What a really humble and great guitarist! One of the best shows I've ever seen!!! If you can't feel his playing you're dead!
Robert Cray Oh man what can I say he's so underappreciated under rated and to me he is the blues. He's so smooth and cool. He's all about the beautiful music and the guitar. Robert you are awesome!
I saw this great singer/guitarist/songwriter about a month ago, year:2019. I had previously seen him in the '80s right after he released his best LP: Strong Persuader. After all these years, he is as good or better than ever. The blues can sometimes be a bit boring to me--but that is not the case with Robert Cray. His great voice has not changed a bit. That unique guitar playing has not done anything but get better. I find it hard to believe that so few people have ever even heard of this remarkable talent. What a shame that is, They do not know what they are missing!
@@elizabethmcleod246 New Zealand Wizard banishes rumours he has retired 15/08/2020 By Caitlin Ellis The official Wizard of New Zealand, Ian Brackenbury Channell, has denied rumours he is retiring after reports he was looking to pass down the wand. A collection of overseas news outlets such as Fox News and CNN have reported the Wizard is looking for a successor as he wants to spend less time in the public eye. On Thursday Channell, 87, spoke to Canada's CBC Radio to clear things up, insisting he has no plan to give up his magical role. "You can't retire, really. It's almost impossible," he told CBC. "You might drop dead. You're not going to retire." Channell's young wizard apprentice Ari Freeman agreed: "I don't think wizards are supposed to retire. I think they keep going until they fall off their perch." Channell was titled the official Wizard of New Zealand in 1990 by then-Prime Minister Mike Moore. Previously he was named 'The Wizard of Christchurch' which is where he resides and makes all of his appearances. Channell also chimed in on how he believes the rumours began. "It's put up by all my enemies in which I have millions and they're all bureaucrats and they all want me to retire," he said. "They can't stand the fact they've got a wizard here because nobody ever wanted a wizard in authority. People like the wizards I can assure you. Scientists, priests, academics, bureaucrats all hate wizards." Channell believes the Christchurch City Council has been telling people he is retired for 20 years. He says they don't want him around because he's "too popular". "I'm mobbed by tourists in the summertime. They gather round like flies but the council being bureaucrats they go 'no-no nothing to see here'." Channell was awarded the Queens Service medal in 2009 for his wizarding and earns a salary of $16,000 for his duties which include promoting tourism and attending events. Channell says he does what he can to "bring some ceremony back into New Zealand". "I'll keep going as long as I can." ---- Sadly The 2011 February earthquake in Christchurch destroyed the Cathedral and now the inner city Center is desolate. There really is no Square in the square anymore. That said ... The Thai Society of Canterbury Inc. in collaboration with the Royal Thai Embassy in Wellington and Tourism Authority of Thailand will be organizing a one-day event of ‘Thai Festival 2021” in Christchurch on Sunday, 7th November 2021 from 10.00 am to 6.00 pm. The venue for this event is at the Victoria Square, a beautiful gathering ground on the corner of Colombo St and Armagh St, in the heart of Christchurch City. This festival is aimed at promoting culinary Thai food, culture, and tourism in Thailand. This is a perfect opportunity for anyone living or visiting Christchurch to taste a wide range of authentic Thai food covering entrees, main courses, and desserts from all regions of Thailand. There will be: - Approximately 10 Thai restaurants across Canterbury on-site selling their signature Thai dishes. - Displaying of Thai traditional dance and Thai classical music. - Exhibition of Thai boxing or Muay Thai. - Beer and Wine marquee. - Display of Tourism to Thailand and info. - Cooking demonstration of some popular Thai dishes and Traditional Thai massage on stage. - Thai food ingredients, handicrafts, and souvenirs will be on sale as well. - And many more families orientated programs. This festival is the third major outdoor event organized by the Thai Society of Canterbury for which we expect to draw a huge crowd of more than 4,000 people. I have it in good authority that The Wizard loves Thai Food.
What great players know is it is righteous and most pleases The Lord is see these songs played along with by us younger brothers. And that's what it is all about the very best of school and Music as an entire thriving clarion minion over by Robert Clay himself. I'm going back to school as soon as I push the play button.
Saw him in Fort Myers 20 years ago and then last week in Rocky Mount, VA. It was an ever better experience than the first show and he was phenomenal both times.
I am so glad I had a chance to see Robert Cray early in his career,I was there to see and hear the great B.B.King,Robert Cray Band opened,I'd never heard of them.Seen them a half a dozen times since then.This is my favorite incarnation of his band.Saw him headline at Montery Bay Blues Fest.Sorry to say,many of the blues venues and festivals have gone away due to poor attendance And lack of sponsorship.Blues music is used in so many movie soundtracks and commercials,but live doesn't seem to get the audiences...To me,It's a Damn shame

Incredible voice!! Great player too! His #1 guitar hero was the "Iceman". The great Albert Collins! That kinda says it all. Wow!
On a scale of 1 to 10..A 10+..let's hear it for the boy..Robert Cray !!
I'm in!
Under Credited, underappreciated, under paid. What an absolute legend. As Clapton insinuated - a soulful genius which appreciated music over fame
Absolutely spot on! This man is a living legend, and one of the greatest blues guitarists of all time! its straight from the heart with this guy! as well as the whole band but Robert ( Night Train! ) Cray! and Richard are just at the top of their game! Blew the roof off the place in NJ August 26th!
Top Of The Line ❤😊
Indeed.
I have had the privilege to see him live 2x’s & he is as good as it gets. Love me some Robert Cray!
We have seen Robert Cray, at least 5 times in the Chicago area, he never seizes to amaze us.
It's been years and years and I keep coming back.
Who are you bro?
Robert Cray helped keep the blues alive.
Brilliant vocalist and guitarist extraordinary. ❤❤❤❤
Robert Cray is an unbelievable, under rated and under appreciated blues man. He sounds as good now as he did in the 90s.
He sounds as good as he did in the 70's!! This guy has been around for a lot longer than most think. He has played with the best and is one of the best. Not flash, just pure talent
I first heard about him mid-80’s. That man can play 🎸
Yes .Don't know his history but BB King must've been his inspiration
Yes. No flash but he can't hide his sex appeal
and this vibratos just killing :)
Great blues, musician, singer and entertainer.
Robert Cray is such a smooth and cool dude. An underappreciated blues icon.
Maybe but he plays with great force he really digs in those strings very hard. I think he improvise too in this song falsetto singing some places and guitar solo little different than record.
He plays only few notes but they mean a lot.
The best ones always are underappreciated, unfortunately.

Long time not heard,takes me back to mid 80,remembering our younger days,now 60 yrs old.
A soul singer that so happens to be one of the purest guitarist around.
Smooth as silk. He's a musical genius. I love the arrangement of this song. The other musicians playing in this are also on another level. 👏👏👏
Saw him open for Huey Lewis News and yes, Tina Turner ( Thunder Dome) tour, no joke, in Auburn , AL at University Coliseum there, i was 10?

Anytime a performer sounds like the recording.
That's real Talent..no bullshit
doesn't rely on pedals nor using pedalboard, just pure guitar and amplifier tone. Love you Robert ❤

Just bought tickets to see him. Unbelievable he's playing a few blocks from my home. Can't wait!
Growing up in an era of The Robert Cray band since the eighties, is so thankfull to tell my grandchildren. Enjoying a moment worth a lifetime.
Fab, Fab - Richard Cousins is awesome too, and very appealing!
Storytelling on the highest level possible. Such a beautiful song
he's in the mood.
for real, authentic blues - beautiful soul
I grew up with them since the 70's my grandmother would play the on a vinyl player
Saw Robert Cray on this tour in Beaumont ,Texas. Every song was worthy of a standing ovation,this man is a living legend no doubt!!
I was fortunate to see him at an empty Garden District mansion in New Orleans very late one summer evening. Maybe 30 people there. Warm beer. Warm whiskey. Sticky with sweat and smoke. Ghosts were dancing in the shadows. He shook the house to the rafters. Been a fan ever since!
I'm a Braziian. This guy is fantastic!!!!
I just don't get tired of listening.
March 10th at Penns Peak! Tickets purchased 💯 Can’t wait… 1 ticket so I can actually watch the master class
I haven't heard this in years, and it's even better live. Takes me back to 1986...
Saw Robert Cray perform this outstanding cut in 1987 somewhere in Massachusetts.
Kayce, went to Cray concert bout 4yrs ago , Awesome!!! Rock n Roll!!!
Listening to this song for the first time. Daaaaaaayyuuummmnnnn.
You got there in the end🤗
The best thing about Robert is his voice. Then the guitar solo plays. And I change my preference. Again.
His Guitar work is so soothing and smooth, good for the soul
Was fortunate to see him at the 'Harvester' in Rocky Mount, Va.
He, and his band were amazing !
Saw Robert Cray Band on Saturday in Edinburgh on his current tour. He’s just so good, as was the rest of the band. An absolute must see - pure class all round👏👏👏

His old bass player, Richard Cousins from first band is back. Robert Cray is great bluesman, Cousins really compliments his style.
Yes. Cousins give the band that special swing.
Cousins is so smoooth and has great talent.
When Cousins returned, the magic combo was reunited...its just instantly THERE!!
I wonder what he and bb talked about behind the buses, I'd loved to of been there.

Si!
Amazing.....superb ...he is the best.. great musician .🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
One of the Best and Greatest worldwide!!!
I listen to Robert and his band while on road trips, makes traveling more rewarding.
I've been listening to Robert Cray for 40years now and i've been to 2 concerts. His music never grows old.
He has a Gospel preacher's voice. It fits perfectly with the soulful blues.

New Zealand Wizard banishes rumours he has retired
15/08/2020
By Caitlin Ellis
The official Wizard of New Zealand, Ian Brackenbury Channell, has denied rumours he is retiring after reports he was looking to pass down the wand.
A collection of overseas news outlets such as Fox News and CNN have reported the Wizard is looking for a successor as he wants to spend less time in the public eye.
On Thursday Channell, 87, spoke to Canada's CBC Radio to clear things up, insisting he has no plan to give up his magical role.
"You can't retire, really. It's almost impossible," he told CBC. "You might drop dead. You're not going to retire."
Channell's young wizard apprentice Ari Freeman agreed: "I don't think wizards are supposed to retire. I think they keep going until they fall off their perch."
Channell was titled the official Wizard of New Zealand in 1990 by then-Prime Minister Mike Moore. Previously he was named 'The Wizard of Christchurch' which is where he resides and makes all of his appearances.
Channell also chimed in on how he believes the rumours began.
"It's put up by all my enemies in which I have millions and they're all bureaucrats and they all want me to retire," he said.
"They can't stand the fact they've got a wizard here because nobody ever wanted a wizard in authority. People like the wizards I can assure you. Scientists, priests, academics, bureaucrats all hate wizards."
Channell believes the Christchurch City Council has been telling people he is retired for 20 years. He says they don't want him around because he's "too popular".
"I'm mobbed by tourists in the summertime. They gather round like flies but the council being bureaucrats they go 'no-no nothing to see here'."
Channell was awarded the Queens Service medal in 2009 for his wizarding and earns a salary of $16,000 for his duties which include promoting tourism and attending events.
Channell says he does what he can to "bring some ceremony back into New Zealand".
"I'll keep going as long as I can."

Sadly The 2011 February earthquake in Christchurch destroyed the Cathedral and now the inner city Center is desolate.
There really is no Square in the square anymore.
That said ...
The Thai Society of Canterbury Inc. in collaboration with the Royal Thai Embassy in Wellington and Tourism Authority of Thailand will be organizing a one-day event of ‘Thai Festival 2021” in Christchurch on Sunday, 7th November 2021 from 10.00 am to 6.00 pm.
The venue for this event is at the Victoria Square, a beautiful gathering ground on the corner of Colombo St and Armagh St, in the heart of Christchurch City.
This festival is aimed at promoting culinary Thai food, culture, and tourism in Thailand. This is a perfect opportunity for anyone living or visiting Christchurch to taste a wide range of authentic Thai food covering entrees, main courses, and desserts from all regions of Thailand.
There will be:
- Approximately 10 Thai restaurants across Canterbury on-site selling their signature Thai dishes.
- Displaying of Thai traditional dance and Thai classical music.
- Exhibition of Thai boxing or Muay Thai.
- Beer and Wine marquee.
- Display of Tourism to Thailand and info.
- Cooking demonstration of some popular Thai dishes and Traditional Thai massage on stage.
- Thai food ingredients, handicrafts, and souvenirs will be on sale as well.
- And many more families orientated programs.
This festival is the third major outdoor event organized by the Thai Society of Canterbury for which we expect to draw a huge crowd of more than 4,000 people.
I have it in good authority that The Wizard loves Thai Food.

Such good clean music, so pure. Voice and all
Loved him from the first time ,I ever listened to him. Always coming back for more..
Saw him in Fort Myers 20 years ago and then last week in Rocky Mount, VA. It was an ever better experience than the first show and he was phenomenal both times.
Bending the root note in the solos, total improv as well, fucking love it
Love that album and the musician. Love from Canada. From a brown man with wonderful black friends. Yeah!!!
Canucker Eh!
Also love Robert Cray! How do you think he would sound with Daryl Hall. I think they should do a show together!
I am so glad I had a chance to see Robert Cray early in his career,I was there to see and hear the great B.B.King,Robert Cray Band opened,I'd never heard of them.Seen them a half a dozen times since then.This is my favorite incarnation of his band.Saw him headline at Montery Bay Blues Fest.Sorry to say,many of the blues venues and festivals have gone away due to poor attendance And lack of sponsorship.Blues music is used in so many movie soundtracks and commercials,but live doesn't seem to get the audiences...To me,It's a Damn shame
Went to see Robert Cray and his band last night, what a great evening, we Jammed all night. Thank you for a great great night xoxo
And he’s from Tacoma , WA, right next door

Talk about an unrated musician. He rocks the Blues
