Search - Robert Cray :: Authorized Bootleg: Austin Texas 5/25/87

Vintage live concert with The Robert Cray Band.

William A. Houston | Hilliard, OH USA | 06/02/2010

(5 out of 5 stars)

"This show was recorded at an outdoor music festival in Austin, Texas that featured The Fabulous Thunderbirds as headliners, and first broadcast on King Biscuit Flower Hour where Cray was riding high off the success of his previous year's Strong Persuader breakthrough album. That album - and its FM radio hit "Smoking Gun" - earned Cray a Grammy Award and made him one of the most highly demanded contemporary blues acts on the scene.



The CD features Cray and the band, playing Cray's hits, and a very rare instrumental 'Back At The Chicken Shack', this track alone is worth the cost of the CD,"

Live it up!

"finally broke down and bought this live cd ( what else is 10 bucks gonna get you? ), and am so happy that I did! Sound quality is excellent and Cray is in great voice throughout ( and also in-between ) all these tracks.Sounds like it was recorded yesterday , not 23 years ago. Great cd for all his fans while we await his next album ( also a live set)"
