Free Music Notes for Live from Across the Pond
Free Music Review: Love the CD
Hit: 5 Stars
Live from Across the Pond Typically not a huge fan of live CD's, this seems to be very well engineered. A good mix of driving beats, great song writing with soulful ballads. I'm a true fan of Robert Cray's BB King inspired style. Continues to become more soulful at his craft. I don't think you'll be disappointed. Highly Recommend.Free Music Review: Excellent
Hit: 5 Stars
Dont like his politics, but love his music. Good to finally get a live CD.Free Music Review: Increasingly dull
Hit: 1 Stars
I saw Robert Cray on this tour and have seen him more than 10 times. We just him opening for Clapton last month. Sadly, his live shows get duller every year. He seems to be stuck playing these mid-tempo songs from his playbook that just aren't that interesting. Phone Booth and Our Last Time are slowed down to the point where they have lost whatever charm they once possesed. Songs such as Bouncin Back, Consequences, Picture of a Broken Heart, or Survivor would have made a much stronger playlist.
There are some bright lights on this album: I Was Warned and Time Makes Two are riveting and intense. It is time for Cray to get some new collaborators as he and his longtime band have settled into a deep and somnambulent rut.
There are many better ways to enjoy Cray's music than this. I strongly recommend Strong Persuader and I Was Warned as the best ways into his songbook.

Refer to my first review of the Robert Cray Band. There is nothing to add.Free Music Review: Amazing
Hit: 5 Stars
I saw him first on Eric Clapton's Guitar Festival and was blown away. This CD is another amazing performance live and the man is brilliant. Not a real blues fan until now but his guitar work can change your mind. His band is top notch too, never thought I could groove to an organ before.
Love this album bought two, one for a friend, you must share this man.
Highly recommend it.
