After debuting at No. 1 last week, Robert Cray’s album Strong Persuader falls to No. 2 with 118,000, a sales slide of 66%. Robert Cray’s debut, ‘Strong Persuader’, does not fit easily into one genre. When you buy a Robert Cray album, you know exactly what you’re getting! This is what good Blues should be.
I Guessed I Showed Her is a song you cannot help but think about at odd moments in your day. Robert Cray emotions are reflected through Right Next Door (Because Of Me). Nothin’ But A Woman is just a great song and one well worth taking the time to give it a good listen. I listened to the opening track Still Around and liked it a lot. More Than I Can Stand is probably one of Robert Cray’s biggest successes for the album - it’s lovely to listen to. The song Foul Play ending is my favorite… so catchy! Ronettes is a very good song maybe surprisingly better than you at first might’ve imagined. Fantasized have really caught my ear and imagination. New Blood is a astounding sing-along.
