Title: Good Compilation
Review: This fine compilation covers Cray's career from 1980 to 1997. "Blues-Oriented R&B" is how Cray labels his music in the excellent liner notes, and that's what you'll get. Add Cray's superb guitar playing and you have a prime sample of the above musical phrase. At 14 songs this hits all but one of his albums up to 1997's Sweet Potato Pie. Oddly, one album is missing representation: 1995's fine Some Rainy Morning. Surely, Mercury could have included a track like "Never Mattered Much" as this CD clocks in at just under 60 minutes. Still, if you think you're interested in Cray and aren't sure where to start, this is the one. Then go and buy other CD's like Strong Persuader, I Was Warned, False Accusations and Don't Be Afraid of the Dark.
