Nothin But Love
Label: Provogue
Released: 8/28 2012
Genre: Blues
Robert Cray and his band have been making blues since the 1980s. Nothin' But Love is a slow blues record for the most part. A four piece band, it's no frills and nothing particularly striking. But it is solid music. A good kind of classic blues album that sinks you down a little.
Not particularly suited to background music by itself, as it does make you want to stop and listen. Thrown into a mix with other blues and it will keeps things mellow and melodic amongst a number of other modern blues albums. The album was recorded in a 'live room' - all the musicians together in the same space as opposed to each part recorded in a booth separately. This gives the music here a warmer mix, and a more vibrant feel.
It's a blues album, with nothing particularly outstanding, but still good.
