    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. :)

      That’s right Sweetheart! Thanks ! I almost forgot about that video that came out in the early 90’s I do believe 😤💪🏻✌🏻! It’s hard to beat His Smooth groove he seems to have stayed right in and he wouldn’t be such a great BluesMan had his awesome sound and groovy way had ever changed ! I like REAL PEOPLE AND REAL PEOPLE WILL BE THE SAME IN 20 years as they were when u seen them today✌🏻✌🏻

    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.

    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.

    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)

    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.
