Robert Cray - Strong Persuader .gif) By David McGee
Stinging urban blues by way of Texas and Memphis distinguish Robert
Cray's major-label debut, which followed three strong independent
releases. Here he fleshes out his sound with bursts of brassy Southern
soul courtesy of the Memphis Horns, but keeps his pungent, steely guitar
solos out front in an engaging dialogue with his plaintive vocals.
Released in 1986, Strong Persuader signaled that Cray, as a
writer--like his contemporary Stevie Ray Vaughan--had something to say
about his interior life beyond the usual bluesman's laments, an approach
that pays homage to the music's rich traditions while suggesting new areas
of inquiry.
