A lot of bands would be aching to be in the position we are.

Love- what is love?
A great and aching heart;
Wrung hands;
and silence;
and a long despair

I liked the Beatles because there was so much melody. Jimi Hendrix is still one of my heroes.

Muddy Waters was, like, the king! He had a lot of adopted sons and daughters. I was just happy to be one of them.

Normally when we go in and write the songs we write, we think about doing a cover, but never a covers record. That would be, for us, a concept. We don't want to have a concept!

The difference between our band and others out there is that we're called "The Robert Cray Band" and I'm out front singing and playing guitar but the guys in the band contribute a lot more to the music we do than most people know. They play on all of the studio recordings and we write together.
