Robert Cray Biography
Grammy Award-winning guitar great Robert Cray fuses blues and Memphis-style R&B in his music, often evoking the funky soul sounds of O.V. Wright in the process. Cray is justly praised for his understated approach; the subtlety of his singing and playing indeed set him apart from much of the modern blues scene, and the songs he and partner Dennis Walker write bear the mark of true storytelling. Bursting onto the music scene in 1983 with BAD INFLUENCE, Cray continues to create stellar blues into the 21st century.
