Robert Cray like sound


Can anyone provide me with artists that have the above sound? Clean vocals, full band back-up, blues but with jazz in the mix? Robert Cray absolutely kills me....

Thnx,

Try Melvin Taylor And The Slack Band's "Dirty Pool", leans more tword the Stevie Ray Vaughn side of Blues than Cray does. Has some killer tracks and sounds good.Worth a good listen.
Check out Ronnie Earl and the Broadcasters, Anson Funderburgh and the Rockets, and Duke Robillard.
Kal David. Try the Double Tuff or the Live CD.
Guaranteed a must have if you like robert Cray! (I DO )

Here's the website to get the cd's

You won't be disapointed. Ramond.
If you think you might be interested in listening to one of the prime historical precursors to Cray's mix, try picking up a collection by the late, great Magic Sam. Combining the lighter, soul-inflected vocal leanings with the economical but incisive guitar style, charismatic presence, and strong original material, performed by a younger (and prettier!) member of a new generation of urban electric blues inheritors coming up in the mid-60's, it's not hard to see and hear Sam's inspiring influence on Cray. Unfortunately, this talented pioneer, who promised to be one of the future leaders in the genre, died tragically young, so his recorded legacy is not huge, but what is there is very choice indeed.
