The Robert Cray Band - False Accusations

The third studio album by The Robert Cray Band, originally released in 1985. 'If not as impressive as Robert Cray's breakthrough recording, 'Bad Influence' (1983), released two years earlier, 'False Accusations' is still a fine album with few missteps. One thing that Cray does very, very well is a blues ballad, something that his soul-inflected vocals and guitar playing suit him for. The result, on this album, is songs like the humorously bittersweet 'She's Gone', the determined 'The Last Time (I Get Burned Like This)', and 'I've Slipped Her Mind', which perfectly captures the mood of the disappointed (but still unrealistically hopeful) suitor'. - Genevieve Williams
