Robert Cray like sound

They came out of Rhode Island in the mid 70s, the original Roomful Of Blues with Duke Robillard out front on guitar. Not as soulful as Cray, they were more into a jazz/swing thing. I recommend their eponymous first album and it's follow-up, "Let's Have A Party". Robillard was (and still is) a big disciple of T-Bone Walker.

Robillard is also fetured on two high quality Johnny Adams recordings, "A Room with a View of the Blues" and "Walking On A Tightrope. Robillard appears again on both of Joe Beard's Audioquest label releases "Dealin'" and "For Real". The Adam's records are soulful with Beard dipping deeper into the blues.

Mighty Sam McClain Give it up to love audioquest xrcd neat guitar licks, BIG HAMMOND B-3 sound and tight vocals , there is a neat cd out Memohis Horns with different tracks Mr. Cray being one , one of my favorites Warren Haynes does a knock out version of " I've been loving you too long" definately worth having. Check out some of Gary Moore's stuff he can get pretty funky plus don't rule out Buddy Guy He has his moments too.

Everyone, thank you for your thoughts, I now have some future purchase ideas to work on.
