On 28 August, Robert Cray releases his Kevin Shirley-produced album Nothin But Love. MusicRadar spoke with Cray about the upcoming 10-song set, but in advance of that conversation, we spoke with the blues master about some of the guitarists he makes sure to keep on his iPod.

"These aren't necessarily the guitar players I consider to be the 'best of all time' or the 'greatest ever,'" he says, "although I'm sure you could put them on such a list. I just don't like ranking guitarists that way. These are simply players that I really enjoy listening to. They're among my favorites, they've influenced me, and I just think they're really, really great."

And so, in alphabetical order, Robert Cray runs down 10 guitarists he never tires of hearing.
