Listener Reviews & Comments
This review is from: Bad Influence (Audio CD) If this was supposed to be an all blues album I'd Give it a three and if it was supposed to be traditional I'd give it a two. If you are a purist or traditionalist or just want straight blues- stay away from cray. I really didn't like this album at first listen but now I think it's great. This guy really does have a perfect voice for the unique blend of funky-soul infused blues music he and the band play. The bass is excellent as well as the writing and composing. Cray isn't the greatest guitarist alive and not even close on this album like some people say- but I must admit few people play at all like him. He is really a very good guitar player on this record and oddly unique. His notes never get far away from him with carry or reverb and they have a real metallic sound to them. Alot of the best songs on here are really quite funny though subtle. Phone Booth sounds like a serious song because of the delivery of cray's voice bu if you pay attention to the lyrics you'll smile. It's got alot quirky songs and percussion that is not native to the blues but if you judge this record song by song with out labeling it like I suppose you should anyway- you'll probably like the second time you hear it if not the first. If you're curious about his blues reputation like me, maybe you should get a different album. But If you like more experimental blues sounds this is pretty inventive at times and will make you think twice about what blues music really is. Comment | Permalink | (Report this)
