I first saw Robert Cray in 1987 and again around 1995. He still sounds the same and still puts on a good show. Some of the tunes are not as well known as Strong Persuader and Smoking Gun but they are true to his style.
Besides Robert the band consisted of Richie Collins (been with Robert for years) and an organ player and drummer.
The venue at Harrah's was perfect for this type of act. We sat in the last row almost dead center and were still less than 20 rows from the stage.
The show started right at 8PM and latest about 1 hr and 40 minutes. We'll worth the modest price.
