Released in 2007, this 16-track compilation presents an excellent overview of Robert Cray`s first 25 years of recording. Although it shares many tracks with 1999`s HEAVY PICKS--including, of course, the Georgia-based bluesman`s ominous `86 hit, "Smoking Gun"--DEFINITIVE COLLECTION tops that set by extending its reach to `05 with the wistful "Poor Johnny," making it the more comprehensive anthology.
