Post Description

In 1977, Robert Cray formed his first band, with hopes of building a career to match his musical influences Albert Collins, Freddie King and Muddy Waters. The next year, he appeared in the movie, National Lampoon's Animal House as an uncredited bassist in the house party band Otis Day and the Knights. In 1982, he earned his first record contract and began to develop a reputation as a strong live performer. Then in November 1986, he released the album Strong Persuader, and became an “overnight successes”, which of course, was a misnomer if there ever was one. The album climbed to #13 on the Billboard charts, and earned Cray a Grammy. The single from the disc, Smoking Gun, went to #22 on the charts and brought Cray’s music to a wider audience. This FM broadcast captures Cray on tour in support of Strong Persuader in Dallas on January 21, 1987, 27 years ago today. Cray gets a little help from another blues legend for the final 3 songs, the late great Stevie Ray Vaughan!
