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.
The great Robert Cray, that is. He's not the best blues guitarist ever, but he can still get you movin' for sure. The thing I love the most about him is what he does during his solos. Watch his mouth while he's playing: he's singing the notes to himself. I think that's awesome.Late 80's:Crossroads Guitar Festival in 2004:
