The Robert Cray Band at The Northern Lights Theater At Potawatomi Bingo Casino
Robert Cray has enjoyed more consistent commercial success than many other bluesmen, which has provoked a bit of a backlash from stodgy purists. Those detractors found even more to hate on his last studio album, 2005’s Twenty, but for everyone else, the album provides mellow, old-school soul-blues that recalls the heyday of Stax Records as well as Memphis’ musical minister of choice, Al Green. Cray is less of a show-off on guitar these days, preferring to indulge his equally impressive vocals on 2009's This Time.
