Welcome to the official website of the Robert Cray Band!
The Robert Cray Band set to extend milestone of 1,000th live performances as a unit with extensive worldwide touring
LOS ANGELES – The Robert Cray Band kicked off 2005 by completing their new CD, Twenty, and by notching their 1000th gig with the band's current lineup. The new album combines the band’s skills with legendary, Grammy winning engineer Don Smith (The Rolling Stones, Ry Cooder, Miles Davis) to craft an intelligent and sophisticated CD that draws from a diverse pool of influences to create a signature sound and a varied menu of songs.
Twenty, like its predecessor Time Will Tell, was co-produced by Cray along with Jim Pugh, his keyboardist of 16 years. Set for May 24 street date, fans can look for U.S. tour dates throughout the balance of the year.
Cray gave several standout performances at Eric Clapton’s Crossroads Guitar festival (recently aired on PBS and currently on DVD) with his own band and in an all star jam session with Clapton, Buddy Guy, Robert Randolph, Hubert Sumlin and Jimmie Vaughan. Also just released on DVD is the Martin Scorsese film, “Lightning In A Bottle,” featuring Robert in two segments including the final with Robert, B.B. King and Bonnie Raitt. His performances in the rock classic film, Hail Hail Rock and Roll are also just re-airing on cable.
Speaking of Twenty, Cray comments, “What I like most about the album is the variety of songs. We covered a lot of bases on the record – from a touch of jazz with ‘My Last Regret’ and ‘Two Steps From The End’ to ‘Does It Really Matter’ which has a rock feel to it. We have a straight-up blues thing with ‘It Doesn’t Show’ and the song ‘Poor Johnny’ even has an early reggae or ska kind of beat to it” ...
