Not long after Strong Persuader became an unexpected crossover hit in 1986
-- which was hard to imagine then and seems like a near impossibility now --
Cray decided that he would rather pursue the sound of Stax and Hi soul than
be a full-fledged bluesman.
He punctuated his songs with stinging licks not dissimilar to Albert King, but the sound was closer to O.V. Wright. But what really separated Cray from his forefathers is that instead of getting dirty and gritty, he stayed classy and tasteful.
After 25 years and 14 albums, Robert Cray has been mining the same low-key, mellow Memphis soul-blues groove for well over two-thirds of his career. He's found his sound and he's sticking to it.
