Robert Cray – Strong Persuader
The Beam Me Up Scotty’s Series, Part 5/25 (LP)
Classic blues soul record. Smokin’ guitar parts, and tons of horns! What’s not to like?
This major label debut may not be as down and dirty as some other players’ albums, it may sound a bit suburbs versus others’ ghettos, but it’s still classy southern soul with a tight, clean sound that melodically pulls you in and holds you close.
Did I mention the horns? I always cheer for the horns. It’s a classy record, and they make it classier!
