The Robert Cray Band - Bad Influence

Robert Cray’s sophomore and breakthrough album.

I remember thinking how fresh and soulful this sounded at the time. It seemed like a real break with tradition. Cray has a soulful vocal style and crispy Strat licks, which are as much Steve Cropper as they are B.B. King. The album sounds both well-produced and raw enough at the same time.

Saw him live at the Hammersmith Odeon in 1985, and he was really good.
