STRONG PERSUADER - Out of Print original release (w/ small cut out in cover) Cray's commercial breakthrough. The single 'Smokin' Gun" spearheaded yet another blues revival. This album is a strong collection of blues and R&B-based songs steeped in the tradition of Bobby Bland, 0. V. Wright, Stax Records, and guitar stylings of equal parts Steve Cropper and Albert Collins. The songs are thematically linked-all deal with cheating and its ramifications-and give Cray an anguished, contemporary persona. 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 blues man's laments, an approach that pays homage to the music's rich traditions while suggesting new areas of inquiry. Tracks include: . Smoking Gun 2. I Guess I Showed Her 3. Right Next Door (Because Of Me) 4. Nothin' But A Woman 5. Still Around 6. More Than I Can Stand 7. Foul Play 8. I Wonder 9. Fantasized 10.

THIS IS FOR THE COLLECTOR WHO WANTS THE ORIGINAL RELEASE AND COMPARE IT TO THE AUDIOPHILE VERSION.Distinctive, Razor-Sharp Blues Playing from 5 Time Grammy Award Winning Blues Hall of Famer!One of the most popular and successful blues albums ever released!200-gram vinyl, pressed at Quality Record Pressings!Mastered from the original analog tape by Ryan Smith at Sterling SoundRobert Cray is a musician that critics describe as one of the all-time great blues guitarists, and small wonder. No less than Rolling Stone describes his playing as distinctive and razor-sharp. They go on to say that Strong Persuader "introduced a new generation of mainstream rock fans to the language and form of the blues." As much as anyone next to Stevie Ray Vaughan, Cray helped the blues not only survive, but thrive.Cray, a five-time Grammy winner, originally released Strong Persuader, his fifth studio album, in 1986 his major label debut. Stinging urban blues by way of Texas and Memphis distinguish Cray's guitar mastery since the release of Strong Persuader, Cray has gone on to record 15 Billboard-charting studio albums and has written or performed with everyone from Eric Clapton to Stevie Ray Vaughan, from Bonnie Raitt to John Lee Hooker. Inducted into the Blues Hall of Fame at the age of 57, he is one of the youngest living legends to receive the prestigious honor. And although Cray can look back over an astonishing three decade-long career, punctuated by his trademark sound and distinct playing style, he is far too busy moving forward as the amazing journey continues. 2012 saw Robert release his 16th studio album, Nothin' But Love and embark on yet another world tour."The set that made Cray a pop star, despite its enduring blues base. Cray's smoldering stance on 'Smoking Gun' and 'Right Next Door' rendered him the first sex symbol to emerge from the blues field in decades, but it was his innovative expansion of the genre itself that makes this album a genuine 1980s classic. 'Nothing but a Woman' boasts an irresistible groove pushed by the Memphis Horns and some metaphorically inspired lyrics, while 'I Wonder' and 'Guess I Showed Her' sizzle with sensuality." - Bill Dahl, allmusic.comFeatures:200 Gram VinylPressed at Quality Record PressingsMastered from the Original Analog Tape by Ryan Smith at Sterling Sound Musicians:Robert Cray, vocals, guitarRichard Cousins, bassPeter Boe, keyboardsDavid Olson, drums Selections:Side One:1.
