Robert Cray Band

Blues guitarist and singer Robert Cray’s smooth, seductive vocal phrasing and rhythmic R&B stylings have earned him a reputation as a modern blues poet. His signature blend of rhythm and blues, pop, rock, soul, and traditional blues have made him a standout, prompting Guitar Player Magazine to declare: “Cray is not only making great music, he’s making history.” Cray’s Grammy-winning 1986 album Strong Persuader made him a leader of the ’80s blues resurgence alongside Stevie Ray Vaughan and The Fabulous Thunderbirds, and propelled hits “Smoking Gun” and “Right Next Door (Because of Me)” onto the charts the year of its release. He followed that success with his next Grammy winner, Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark (1988), which featured the hit single of the same name.
