Bad Influence (Robert Cray album)
http://dbpedia.org/resource/Bad_Influence_(Robert_Cray_album) an entity of type: Thing
Bad Influence is the second studio album by the blues singer-songwriter and guitarist Robert Cray. Released with Hightone Records, this was the album thought to have put Cray on the map, prior to his explosion into the mainstream with Strong Persuader in 1986. It was his second release and his first on Hightone Records. It contained two cover versions: Johnny Guitar Watson's "Don't Touch Me" and Eddie Floyd's "Got to Make a Comeback". The most well-known songs off the album are probably the funky minor-key blues song "Phone Booth", later covered by Cray's idol Albert King, and the title track which was subsequently covered by Eric Clapton. Bruce Bromberg and Dennis Walker produced the album for the California-based label. To date the album has sold over one million copies.

Bad Influence is het tweede studioalbum van Robert Cray en zijn band. De muzikale productie werd verzorgd door Bruce Bromberg en Dennis Walker, met Bill Dashiell als geluidstechnicus van dienst. Bromberg, die onder het pseudoniem David Amy tevens enkele nummers schreef, richtte in 1983 het platenlabel op, zodat dit album uitgegeven kon worden. Het liedje "Phone Booth" werd tevens als single uitgebracht en later gecoverd door onder anderen Albert King. Eric Clapton vertolkte het nummer "Bad Influence" op zijn album (1986).
