Katie Webster, The Swamp Boogie Queen, 1988 on Alligator Records
Webster started out as a session musician behind lots of Louisiana artists but then came back as a solo artist in the 1980s. This was her first album as a leader with distribution in the US on Alligator Records.
Guests include The Memphis Horns, Kim Wilson, Robert Cray, and Bonnie Raitt. Great album.
My copy is the 2025 Vinyl Me Please reissue cut by Ryan Smith at Sterling and pressed at GZ Media.

The Robert Cray Band, Who’s Been Talkin’, 1980 on Tomato
Debut album from Robert Cray and band (Curtis Salgado, Richard Cousins, and Dave Olson). Tomato was a NY based indie label started in the late 70s by Kevin Eggers, who also released albums by Albert King, Townes Van Zandt, Lightnin’ Hopkins, and John Cage (among others).
My copy—via Antone’s Records in Austin TX—is an original 1980 Presswell pressing with the Tomato label.

The Robert Cray Band, Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark, 1988 on Mercury
Fifth full length from Robert Cray and co – sometimes referred to as The Robert Cray Band, other places just Robert Cray from the 1980s. This was their second major label record (on Mercury following Hightone and Tomato). It was not as successful as Strong Persuader which preceded it but there are some great songs here, including the title cut.
Produced by Bruce Bromberg and Dennis Walker, with The Memphis Horns and David Sanborn on one track.
My copy—via Vinyl Destination in Lowell, MA—is a 1988 specialty pressing with promotional labels, though mine does not include the press kit.

The Robert Cray Band, That’s What I Heard, 2020 on Nozzle Records
Robert Cray (often attributed as The Robert Cray Band) has been making great electric blues albums since 1980’s Who’s Been Talkin’. This is their most recent studio album and won the Soul Blues Award at the Blues Music Awards from the Blues Foundation in 2021.
I’m a huge fan of Cray’s approach to the blues and it’s great to hear what good shape his voice and his playing are in.
I picked up my copy (on clear vinyl) at a 2024 show at the Cabot Theater in Beverly MA.

OK, this is the first of FOUR Robert Cray albums that I appear to have in my collection, something that surprised me a little. I enjoy the music, but I had no recollection of buying so much of it :)
I've played a few Robert Cray numbers myself, in Blues bands in Southampton, way back. Phone Booth was my favourite, and it opens this album.

1997 BBC charity single. Stars sing #LouReed's "Perfect Day".
What does the video tell us? That the BBC probably has tape of #Bono, #DavidBowie, #SkyeEdwards (of #Morcheeba), #EltonJohn, #BurningSpear, #HeatherSmall, #TammyWynette, #EmmylouHarris, #ShaneMcGowan, #EvanDando, #CourtneyPine, #RobertCray, #ThomasAllen, #JoanArmatrading, #LaurieAnderson, #TomJones and #DrJohn, each singing the song all of the way through, and that it would make one hell of an album. #music
