Robert Cray Band at the Barrymore In 1985, Cray collaborated with Albert Collins and Johnny Copeland on the album “Showdown!”, which won him his first Grammy Award. His 1986 album, “Strong Persuader,” was a significant commercial success, featuring the hit single “Smoking Gun,” which broadened his appeal beyond traditional blues audiences and earned him another Grammy.
Pollinated by the folk and electrified blues traveling up Highway 41 from Chicago, they were inspired by the Blues greats and the Brew Town musicians who learned from the best. Many great players have passed through Small Blind Johnny’s ranks, and some have passed on, but the band endeavors on their quest to pay homage to, and capture as best they can, the heartbeat and soul of the roots music they love.
