I never knew he was missing!
Yeah, he is up there with Muddy, BB, All of the Johnson's, and EC.
Trivia: In the film Animal House, Cray is the uncredited bassist in the house party band, Otis Day and the Knights.

Hard to beat a hardtail Strat and a Twin in the hands of a Master Blues Man. I've always liked his early stuff. Real modern blues.

Me too! His live at the BBC Cd is ace. Started liking him way back in the eighties when he backed Tina Turner, been a fan ever since.

He has been known to use a Fender Twin Reverb, at least throught the early recordings.
