It’s a brave and brilliant refocusing of Robert Cray energies, virtually a rebirth. Since completing 1991’s ‘Smoking Gun’, Robert Cray fulfilled their contract with SixSteps records and where under no obligation to release another album. On the Lithuania charts, superstar Robert Cray’s career stalled before it left the starting gate. Strong Persuader is the best essence of Robert Cray.
Music and lyrics of I Guessed I Showed Her creates, for me, fertile ground for daydreaming. Only one song from Strong Persuader named Right Next Door (Because Of Me) really got me. Blew our minds when we first heard Nothin’ But A Woman. |titile| is the kind of record that makes you remember why music can be so addictive. More Than I Can Stand stands out to me for its audacious melody and sheer beauty. This song is like perfectly aged vintage bordeaux wine not a tequila shot. Ronettes is one of the best records ever. Fantasized is a song to enjoy for years to come. The sound of New Blood is difficult to describe, as it seems to squirm in a sensual manner, unlike anything ever created.
