    Robert Cray's undefinable sound remains stubbornly beyond category. He has been internationally admired as a stylist whose innovations have brought new life to the blues. Attempting to slot Cray in a single genre is an exercise in futility. "Blues is one of the foundations of our music, but it's not all that we play."

    Robert Cray's undefinable sound remains stubbornly beyond category. He has been internationally admired as a stylist whose innovations have brought new life to the blues. Attempting to slot Cray in a single genre is an exercise in futility. "Blues is one of the foundations of our music, but it's not all that we play." Cray says: "When I first started playing guitar, I wanted to be George Harrison - that is, until I heard Jimi Hendrix. After that, I wanted to be Albert Collins and Buddy Guy and B.B. King. And then there are singers like O.V. Wright and Bobby Blue Bland. It's all mixed up in there. Every time somebody asks me about where my music comes from, I give them five or six different directions - a little rock, soul, jazz, blues, a little gospel feel. Then there are some other things that maybe fall in there every once in a while, like a little Caribbean flavor or something. You just never know. I always attribute it to the music we grew up listening to, and the radio back in the 60's. It's pretty wide open. It's hard to put a tag on it."
