Bland Bobby `Blue` - The Anthology (2CD) (CD)
€25,00Quick ViewThe Ultimate Collection! 50 tracks 1952-1982. Includes all 25 of His TOP 10 HITS.
Over the 1952-82 time-span covered here, Bobby Blue” Bland united tough-as-pavement blues singing with heartbroken Southern R&B, and helped to create chitlin-circuit soul as we know it now. Too raw for most oldies radio, Bland was a major presence in his time: 30 of these 50 songs hit the pop charts, and almost all of them were significant R&B hits. The first disc-and-a-half documents his long-running Duke Records collaboration (in Chicago, Texas, and Nashville) with trumpeter Joe Scott, who wrote ambitious arrangements that ran from tender love-man pop to howling, honking blues terrorism, but usually gave Bland a chance to emote harder than his microphone could handle. The remainder finds Little Boy Blue on his own in L.A. in the ’70s, spicing up smoother blues-inflected soul (and even a stab at light disco, ”It Ain’t the Real Thing”) with the famous squall in his voice. -Douglas Wolk”

Bland Bobby - Two Steps From The Blues + 2 bonus (CD)
€13,00Quick ViewOriginally released in 1961, blues singer Bobby Blue” Bland’s legendary Two Steps From The Blues has been repeatedly called ”one of the best blues albums of all time”, and Bland one of the genre’s greatest singers (and top sex symbols in his day), no small feat in a genre so crowded with amazing talent. Throughout 60s and 70s Bland placed over 50 songs on the R&B charts, including ”I Pity The Fool”, which shot to No. 1 and ”Turn On Your Love Light”, a song that shaped the history of both R&B and rock & roll. Bland got his start singing in the early fifties as a member of a loosely knit group of musicians that included Junior Parker, Johnny Ace and B.B. King that formed around Memphis’ famed Beale Street. Together these giants forged the new sound of Memphis blues, a sound that would carry both blues and R&B into the next millennium.”
