Fitz, I first became aware of Robert Cray through my friend Dennis Walker, when I lived in L.A. Dennis' wife and my then wife, were friends and that's how I got to know Dennis. Great guy, incredibly talented.
I may be wrong but did he not write, "Don't be afraid of the dark"? I'm pretty sure he produced it.
At any rate, I've always liked Robert Cray's smooth style. Thanks for posting this :)
Well I saw him in the UK many years ago - awesome!
