Not long after Strong Persuader became an unexpected crossover hit in 1986 - which was hard to imagine then and seems like a near impossibility now - Robert Cray decided that he would rather pursue the sound of soul labels Stax and Hi Records than be a full-fledged bluesman. He punctuated his songs with stinging licks not dissimilar to Albert King, but the sound was closer to O.V. Wright. But what really separated Cray from his predecessors is that instead of getting dirty and gritty, he stayed classy and tasteful.

For more than 40 years, Robert Cray has been mining the same low-key, mellow Memphis soul-blues groove for well over two-thirds of his career. He's found his sound and he's sticking to it, to great success from worldwide audiences and respect from his peers.

Originally released in 2005, and now for the first time ever available on vinyl, is Twenty, Robert Cray's 14th album; a thoroughly pleasant listen.

Twenty is available as a limited numbered edition of 750 copies on transparent vinyl, and includes an insert.
