Three and a half stars

"More of the same from Mr. Cray & Company. Noteworthy that the album is strong all the way through; not the usual front-load & then drop-off you get from most artists. Twenty, his "protest song" is effective because it's not pedantic, but in Robert's usual "slice of life" style. They even throw in a waltz time. Read some of the other reviews here as well. We're pretty much all saying the same thing."
More of the Same From Mr. Cray But No "Time Will Tell" !

"Having heard Robert Cray's work from the very beginning with both the "Who's Been Talking" and "Strong Persuader" albums, I rediscovered the guy after a long break when I picked up the "Time Will Tell" album and I was struck by the change in musical direction from what I had remembered was on the first two albums that I'd heard before but I wasn't disappointed as I thought Cray still sounded very good and his trademark vocals and competent blues guitar playing was still pretty much in evidence. I also like the way Sanctuary packaged the cds in cardboard design as I don't like jewel sleeves and there is no faulting the sound quality as the mastering is very good too. "Twenty" continues upon the themes introduced by "Time Will Tell" but it's very obvious that the latter is still the superior album. Although this is not a bad album by any stretch of the imagination, I was left feeling that Robert was coasting on this one and that there was nothing really new to go "wow" about here. Content quality-wise, this is nowhere near "Strong Persuader" and is certainly not better than "Time Will Tell". Still, an average Cray album is still better than much of what's out there at the moment."
