Editorial Reviews

From Grove Press Guide to Blues on CD

This is widely perceived as a sellout, but for no good reason. Cray continues to deliver the goods: great songs, great playing. If anything Cray is too consistent; the material stretches a bit. Cray tackles homelessness on Night Patrol." His straight blues shuffle, "Across the Line," is a showpiece, as is the Stax-perfect ballad "At Last." "I Can't Go Home" is a masterpiece of dramatic soul singing and became a concert highlight. (J.G.) -- © Frank John Hadley 1993

5.0 out of 5 stars Always good, but he has one that's better., February 1, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Don't Be Afraid of the Dark (Audio CD)
I have three Robert Cray CDs, and they're all enjoyable. But if you want to be haunted by songs, I'd recommend the Strong Persauder CD instead. But that one's so good that you'll love Robert and buy more of his CDs -- so I guess it doesn't really matter which you buy first. Just make sure that you buy Strong Persauder!

5.0 out of 5 stars Robert Cray. Most underpaid entertainer on the planet., April 24, 2009
By 
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Don't Be Afraid of the Dark (Audio CD)
Only artist I have seen in concert 6 times. I feel so sad to see him leave the stage after only 3 hours of performing. Best live artist to see. This is my 4th copy of this CD. I wear them out. A MUST have for any fan of jazz or just great laid back music. When I saw him in concert with Eric Clapton....best show ever. They make each other better on stage. Buy this CD.

5.0 out of 5 stars Cray brings the soul, February 2, 2010
This review is from: Don't Be Afraid of the Dark (Audio CD)
I dont know why everybody is saying this album is weaker than strong persuader,I think its just as good,I love cray and the way he mixes soul and blues, some tracks like "I cant go home" make my hair stand up.I strongly reccomend this album to any fan of cray or anyone looking for some soul.
