A milestone from the 80's blues scene.

Thank you for the reply.

Mr. Cray is on my playlist since the day that I bought a set of D'Addario strings that came with a CD filled with songs from D'Addario players. One of the songs was Robert Cray's 'I Was Warned' and I got stunned with his voice and, of course, his guitar work (his best guitar solo imho). This was in 2001 and, since then, I never stop to listen to him.

Of course, his playing has decreasing along past years. However he can deliver planty of good groovy songs.

Hi,

For some reason, God bless him !, Mr. Cray is visiting Geneva today and makes a stop 50 meters from my work :)
 What a f*** great idea !  I wouldn't call myself a fan, but for sure I'd kill to hear "Don't be afraid of the dark".

I'm as surprised to read this thread as I was to see the concert poster while walking in the street a couple of days ago :)

we've got nothing to sink our teeth into these days so let's enjoy every opportunity :)

To my dear friend the Chairman : I'll do my best  :wave

It was a great show, the guy rocks.  :clap
A guitar hero, a 4-piece band, that's what we like.  8)

If you have a chance to see Robert Cray somewhere, there's no hesitation to have.
