FirstMeasure Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 Robert Cray, hands down. Even before I listened to the clips because I know Roberts Blues are the most Original and Heartfelt Blues in the business. His tone is Clean and Unique, and his leads are not contrived. Gary is technically efficient, and his playing is hot. But there's very little unique or original about his blues, and his tone boarders on Muddy. Now if you throw Voices into the equation, Gary doesn't even make it out of the primaries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shnate McDuanus Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 Protest vote for Otis Rush. In all seriousness, though--I listened to both of them the whole way through. I've never been a huge fan of either one, but I've followed them both here and there, and I do like both of them to an extent. However: I would like to point out that Robert Cray has one of the most captivating voices in the entire Blues scene, and his playing is tasteful and subtly expressive in ways that could give the masters cold sweats. Gary did his thing with it, which isn't bad, but I have to admit that I got bored with it half way through. Robert Cray gets my vote this time around.

NeoConMan Posted November 6, 2010 Share Posted November 6, 2010 Robert Cray. Funny thing, I'm assuming the second clip with the horns is Gary Moore. Horns = No thanks. Didn't even click on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Versatile Posted November 6, 2010 Share Posted November 6, 2010 Robert Cray Tasteful playing and great tone.... My favourite though is John Mayall with Eric Clapton..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FirstMeasure Posted November 6, 2010 Share Posted November 6, 2010 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gjwv689fmhk&feature=related Here's an interesting version by Robert Plant. I found it on Youtube while looking for this version...... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rIzwwTYEN64&feature=related I'm partial to the SRV version, it's live and raw from when he was young and unsigned. Before Tommy Shannon replaced Jack Newhouse on the bass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chrisdude Posted November 6, 2010 Share Posted November 6, 2010 WEIRD! Me and a collegue were only talking about Cray the other day compared to Moore. On the Cray side could anyone recommend a cd or vid? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
