Robert Cray, gifted bluesman .... he's so right on here.

"They call this a war on terror ... I see a lot of civilians dying."

Incredible lyrics and damn can that man work a guitar. Given Walter Reed, isn't this especially poignant now?

5. I saw him perform this live

He opened for Clapton on his latest tour and oh, WOW, was he just amazing! I had not heard the song 'til then. Too bad the audience around me didn't appreciate the song like I did. Robert Cray is a tremendous talent!

and the finale with Clapon, Cray and Trucks was amazing.

Clapton always has terrific opening acts.
