Robert Cray

The godfather of the '80s blues revival (which ultimately led to U2's 'Rattle and Hum', although we'll forgive him that), Cray is one the genre's most respectred guitar men, although he deals in a more stripped-down sound than his previous, brassier tuneage of yore. Live, he's an arresting performer and marvellous band leader, and this rare UK date will be a treat for blues lovers.
