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.
