5.0 out of 5 stars Robert Cray gives me the blues, August 18, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Some Rainy Morning (Audio CD)

Some Rainy Morning is an excellent blues cd. This disc is killer. I love this one. There is a lot of pain in Cray's voice this time out(which makes for a great blues record). There still has the soul and r&b feel on this one, but Cray and his band dip deeper into the blues. This disc reminds me why Robert Cray is one of the best bluesmen in the business. Every Cray fan has their own favorite disc, this one's mine. I love all of Cray's work but "Some Rainy Morning" is my personal pick. I have been listening to Robert Cray since the release of "Strong Persuader". I knew very little about the blues, after I started listening to Strong Persuader......I wanted to listen to "the roots" of blues. So thank you Mr. Cray for turning me onto one of the greatest forms of music, the blues.
Some of my favorite tracks on this one are "Steppin' out" "tell the landlord" "jealous love" "Will You Think of Me" and "moan". If you are a fan of Robert Cray and don't have this release you should pick it up. If you are a fan of the blues, and would like some good blues music mixed with some soul and r&b you should try Robert Cray's Some Rainy Morning.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sizzling!, September 29, 2006

"Surgeon General's Warning: This album may be too dangerous because it is literally dripping with raw emotion and pure attitude. It contains so much good music it may cause a severe addiction to the sizzling guitar and gripping vocals of Robert Cray." This cd blew me away when I first heard it and still does. "Moan" is the best song on the album but they are all really good. I enjoy Cray's previous albums with a horn section, but I have to say when it's just him and his band pared down, his voice and guitar playing are even more compelling. You really believe what he is singing about, he has so much conviction in his voice it's scary! If you are looking for music that will grab your attention on the first note and hold you there for the next 10 songs, then buy this cd! It is a must-buy for any fan of American roots music.

This is the best comtemporary blues album released in years and I am grateful to own a copy (second copy, 1st was stolen) and buying for the 2nd time! Aside from the most distinct Strat tones of Robert Cray is his ability to sing in such great harmony and melody and not miss a note picking his 6-string...incredible! I like "Moan", its got alot of energy, the poweful drums, rich bass, sweet organs, notable guitar chords and vocals. It is "a very richly" recorded album which stood out in all avenues. His loyaled and talented bandmates incorporates every subtle aspects in musicianship one can only find in a blues record such as Robert Cray's. "Some Rainy Morning" is a feel good album as it is in the "Blues". I can listen to this album over and over again and if it gets stolen again, I will buy my 3rd.
