Robert Cray Band Reviews

Since becoming crown prince of the blues in the late 80s, Cray has won Grammies and played alongside 12-bar aristocrats such as BB King but has often seemed on cruise control. As a suited-up Mad Men cover shot suggests, he has his mojo back. Won't Be Coming Home puts Cray in the driveway watching his woman's tail light vanish, pitting weary vocals against stinging guitar. I'm Done Crying, a slow, soul-soaked epic with strings, has him testifying magnificently...

The rap on Robert Cray is that he's a bit of a guitar wimp, too willing to settle for a cool soul vibe over fiery, down-and-dirty blues funk. It's an unfair perception to the extreme, given that he's shared stages with Buddy Guy, Eric Clapton, Stevie Ray Vaughan and B.B. King and held his own night after night. It's doubtful that those guys would cede the spotlight to someone who's unworthy...

It seems young Bob has found himself another record label again. Recorded at Royal Albert Hall in London, England, (I'm guessing some time in the last year), Cray and band hopscotch through an amazingly creative repertoire that dates back over two decades, and 16 albums by my count. (Jeez, where do the years go?) Appropriately, the set opens with "Phone Booth," the title of the CD that launched Cray's career back in the early 1980s...

With the latest bluesrevival just about at its peak, Robert Cray has chosen an interestingmoment to diversify. I Was Warned is a foray into Stax-stylesoul, complete with sweeping Booker T. & the MG's organ and charts bythe Memphis Horns. What's more, though Cray is one of the fineststraight-ahead guitarists in the field, he has chosen to focus onvocals. There's still guitar aplenty, but Cray showcases a sly croonsomewhere between Sam Moore (of Sam and Dave) and Johnnie Taylor...

Robert Cray may be a gloriously reliable musician when it comes to live performances, but he has become decidedly erratic when it comes to album releases. For 30 years America's most successful contemporary blues guitarist and singer-songwriter didn't release a live album, but now there have been three in just four years...

Established blues-circuit stars who've been an unchanged unit since 1990, the Robert Cray Band have suffered the fate of so many committed formalists before them: repeating themselves. But even if nobody cares beyond the equally committed fan base their skills have earned them, they refuse to betray their compulsion to put an extra twist on their smooth, smoky evocations of love's pain...

Thirty years into his recording career, the biggest question surrounding Robert Cray is no longer whether he's an honest-to-goodness bluesman or a slick interloper but whether he's got anything new to offer. Cookin' in Mobile, a CD/DVD package recorded earlier this year at that city's Saenger Theatre, is Cray's third live album since 2006 (one of them taken from a 1987 show), a sequence broken only by one studio release that made little impact...

Book-ended by two songs?"Survivor" and "Time Makes Two"?which gingerly profess anti-war leanings, Cray's latest isn't quite the full-scale renewal that he's claimed. There are contributions from Sly Stone horn players Cynthia Robinson and Jerry Martini, dashes of Latin/Caribbean rhythms and a psychedelic sitar alongside his R&B staples...

Out from under Dennis Walker, Cray sounds less twisted, his thwarted-love compulsions a species of good old-fashioned blues suffering. He shuffles and slides like he's been studying up on his Chess reissues, and the directness carries over into his good old-fashioned soul exhortations. He even fools around a little, as if finally convinced that his guitar ain't no joke.
