    This guy here is one of the most phenomenal guitarist out there. He certainly has his own sound. I'm not sure it's blues in the true sense. It's Robert Cray and he is in his own world. As a guitarist myself I can listen to this guy play and sing for hours. Truly underrated.

      Real blues is usually acoustic
      but there's definitely Blues elements in this
      as well as Jazz.
      R 'n' B maybe?
      I don't know.
      It's music.

      I am 63 years old today and come from Germany. When I was backpacking through Asia in 1986 with my best friend (RIP brother🙏), I bought the Strong Persuader cassette by Robert Cray from a street vendor in Bangkok without ever having heard of him before. Since then, his fantastic music and very good lyrics have accompanied me through good times and bad (now via Spotify or UA-cam). Timeless and incredibly good music. Keep it up Robert!

    In the vibrant atmosphere of the 80s, my mother didn't miss any opportunity to have fun. And then came that fateful night when I was conceived between stacks of paper and empty bottles by Robert Clay. I am the son of a blues legend, and that's truly something special. I can only imagine how deep the music runs through my veins. It's in my DNA to carry on this musical legacy and write my own story. I will do my best to live out my passion for the blues and inspire the world with my music.

It's so great that young people like you are finding this stuff out at an early age. No, I don't want to go back to those days, but I do cherish them. He's still on my bucket list for shows. Look for an album called "Showdown" , by Collins , Copeland & Cray. You will slowly find that key, to open up that door to a wonderful world of blues!! Peace, my friend.✌♥️

      You could tell that this man is very intelligent. Not only by his annunciation or lyrics but his attack on the guitar is unlike anyone else. He is unique in the blues in a blues world where everyone wants to sound like SRV, or most sang very similar. This man is in a class all by himself. He is one of my favorites, I love Albert Collins for the same reasons. I don’t think anyone is better than Albert Collins.

    Yet another great song by the gifted Robert Gray and his tight band!! Easy on the ear and a delight to listen to, thumps up from me.

    Loved this since I was mumma and daddies little baby girl.
    Daddy played his guitar mum dancing round the kitchen.
