loved how he sounded with the Stones on Stop Breaking Down in Miami. I remember thinking that it sounded as if he had been (or should be) in the band...

Saw him playing with Eric Clapton a few years back and he practically stole the show
Also his performance in Hail, Hail Rock and Roll was outstanding !

I'm still stinging from all the Cray-hatred emanating from this site recently. I've calmed down a bit. I would like to believe somewhere out there that there exist other like-minded souls as me who admire Robert's multi-talents. Fabulous song-writer (Twenty comes to immediate mind), wonderful R&B singer...and has some crazy, unique guitar licks. Grew up with Robert in Eugene when he employed another great vocalist as his front-man (Curtis Salgado - still working the circuit in the Pac Northwest) and was working for tips...saw him open for John Lee Hooker and Muddy Waters and always knew greater things were ahead. He done good. Listening to his latest as I write...sublime....
Others? Fave Cray records? I'd go with I Was Warned for the title track alone...as good as music gets.
Cray haters need not respond...but if you do...well, you'll see....
