Bad Influence is a 1983 blues 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 High Tone 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 and memorable song off the album was probably the funky minor-key blues song, "Phone Booth," later covered by his idol Albert King. Bruce Bromberg and David Walker produced the album for the California-based High Tone Records. The album runs 41 minutes and 57 seconds.
