Robert Cray - Shoulda Been Home
Review by David Gonzalez Diaz
Shoulda Been Home by Robert Cray is an impressive album that showcases the singer's soulful voice and exceptional guitar skills. The album features a mix of blues, rock, and R&B tracks that are both catchy and thought-provoking. The opening track, "Survivor," sets the tone for the album with its upbeat rhythm and inspiring lyrics.
Cray's guitar playing is particularly outstanding on tracks like "Too Many Cooks" and "Up in the Sky." His solos are masterful and showcase his technical ability without ever feeling showy. The album also features some impressive collaborations, such as the duet with Shemekia Copeland on "I'm Done Cryin'."
