2017 release. Robert Cray has been bridging the lines between blues, soul and R&B for the past four decades, with five Grammy wins and over 20 acclaimed albums. For the Robert Cray & Hi Rhythm album, the Blues Hall of Famer traveled to Memphis with his friend, renowned Grammy Award winning producer Steve Jordan, to make a classic soul album with Hi Rhythm, the band that helped create that sound. The album opens with a driving, soulful version of Bill Withers' "The Same Love That Made Me Laugh" that sounds as if it was originally from an old Hi Rhythm recording. When Robert chose two Tony Joe White songs for the album, White, a big fan of Cray, came up from Nashville to sit in. First up is the moving ballad "Aspen, Colorado" (the sister song of his "Rainy Night in Georgia"). The other end of the spectrum is the swirling psychedelia of "Don't Steal My Love." The tribute to O.V. Wright and Hi Rhythm is the horn-driven version of "You Must Believe in Yourself." Known for writing "Mustang Sally" and many other songs, Sir Mac Rice's "I Don't Care" follows on the album with an unforgettable hook, and Rice's funky "Honey Bad" features more guitar brilliance from Cray. Moving into early R&B from the 5 Royales, Robert performs "I'm With You Pt. 1" then turns the guitar loose on "I'm With You PT 2.", Runningtime: 00:00:00, Arranged By [For Royal Strings], Conductor [For Royal Strings]: Lester Snell, Baritone Saxophone: Jim Spake, Bass: Leroy Hodges, Clavinet, Backing Vocals, Electric Piano [Wurlitzer]: Archie "Hubby" Archer, Design: Pieter Woudt, Drums, Producer, Percussion, Acoustic Guitar, Backing Vocals, Mixed By: Steve Jordan, Electric Guitar, Harp: Tony Joe White, Electric Guitar, Lead Vocals: Robert Cray, Mastered By: Greg Calbi, Organ, Piano, Electric Piano [Fender Rhodes], Backing Vocals: Charles Hodges, Photography By: Ronnie Booze, Recorded By, Mixed By: Boo Mitchell, Recorded By, Mixed By: Niko Bolas, Strings: The Royal Strings (2), Tenor Saxophone: Lannie McMillan, Trombone: Jack Hale, Sr., Trumpet: Marc Franklin, Vocals: Harold Thomas, Vocals: Robert Wrightsil, Written-By: Bill Withers, Written-By: Charles Jerue, Written-By: Sir Mack Rice, Written-By: Tony Joe White, Written-By: Robert Cray, Written-By: Robert Cray, Written-By: Lowman Pauling, Written-By: Jud Phillips, Written-By: Sir Mack Rice, Written-By: Robert Cray, Written-By: Tony Joe White, Written-By: Lowman Pauling, Labelcode JYVE2017.2 (JV2017), Recorded At Royal Recording Studios, Memphis, Mastered At Sterling Sound, Phonographic Copyright (p) Jay-Vee Records, Copyright (c) Jay-Vee Records, Glass Mastered At Disc Makers
