Robert Cray - This Time

08-01-2009 - Soul Tracks

This Time, the new record by Robert Cray, will likely be an opportunity to put the schizophrenic nature of the modern R&B fan on full display. Many of the fans who assail the record industry for not making music like they "used to," will summarily ignore this album because sounds a little bit too much like what "they" used to make. Some will say that it sounds too much like their grandparents' music. It's too bluesy or southern soul sounding. And of course, all that's a no-no - unless you're Jamie Lidell, Joss Stone or Corinne Bailey Rae. Then it's cool. But the hard-core fans of blues and soul music will love Cray's latest.
