    This man does not get the credit he truly deserves. Not only a talented vocalist, but one of the best guitar players of all time.

  • @lmetrovich

    Somebody wrote that Robert Cray has the soul of Stevie Wonder, the guitar skills of Jimmy Hendrix and the smooth of Eric Clapton

  • @rgwebb5165

    Really should have had a dramatic video based upon the lyrics of the song.

    The man can write, sing and play!
    He's been around for decades and he still looks like he's only 23 years old.

    I heard this song for the first time about an hour ago on the eighties station on Sirius radio. I had never heard of Robert Cray before today, but I'm seriously impressed with this song.

    He's a master! Simple presentation, masterful guitarwork...no undue flash, no baloney theatrics...just pure simple talent and soul. God love him!

    Cray is a master... you can literally feel the emotion in his guitar.

    I remember watching this on MTV, in 1986 I believe. It just blew me away.

    Mr. Cray's voice and guitar playing seem effortless yet perfection.

    I'm kind of ashamed to admit I had never heard of Robert Cray until I randomly found Strong Persuader in a box of records my Dad gave me a couple of months ago. But as soon as I put the album on my turntable, dropped the needle and heard Smoking Gun for the first time, I knew I had to find more of his albums.

    Have to hear this every once in a while. Love Robert Cray

  • @garthosborn8400

    I love that his tone is clean and pure - not saturated with tons of gain. Really lets his skill and emotion shine.

    One of the all time classics, it just never gets old.

  • @Geek37664

    It was October 2014 I was in Des Moines, Iowa. I’m 33 years old and I can’t sleep and I’m surfing the web on a public computer in a hotel lobby, just killing time so I get some rest before my cousin’s wedding. And for some reason, this song comes over the loudspeaker and it just sticks with me. It’s inescapably infectious. And how a blues tune managed to breakthrough to the top 40 in a year filled with hair metal and new wave and R&B makes this song extra special to me.

    Was bewitched by that rhythm guitar part the first time I heard it upon original release, and the spell is still as strong this morning, decades later. And the voice, and the choice of notes in the solo--simply one of the best minor-chord blues tunes ever created. Saw him live in the mid-90s, small club in Nashville. So glad I got to. Truly a transcendent player and performer.
