Written on April 23, 2004 Summary: LOVE this record These raves are all right on the mark - this is transcendent. Funny thing is, it kind of took me awhile to get it. I liked, but never loved, my lp, but a year or two after getting the cd it all clicked into place. I think sometimes exceptionally profound music takes a while to sink in. I'm sure glad I stuck with this, and trusted all the folks who said it was a classic. It's now a treasured favorite. Written on November 21, 2003 Summary: Brace yourself! Good God almighty! If you have any affinity for any kind of music, buy this album! The effect this astonishing collection of singles had is still felt more than forty years after its initial release. The songs are simply stunning, and Bland's voice is truly phenomenal. Any singer who ever belted out a single note OWES Bobby "Blue" Bland. For those who have heard nothing but the man's latter day work with Malaco, this is nothing short of a revelation. This was one of the most amazing voices on God's green earth. He's somehow like a cross between Ray Charles, Nat King Cole, and Brook Benton, but with the strength of all three combined. Listening to this will make you realize how right B.B. King was when he said, "Me and Little Milton, we did alright, but NOBODY could move a crowd like Bobby Bland." My only complaint is that these songs and the album itself are over far too early. Some of the songs barely make it over two minutes, but that was how they were done in those days. But I can't stress the greatness of this album and the magnitude of its impact enough. Along with James Brown's Live At the Apollo, this is arguably the most important and influential Soul album of all time. Written on June 28, 2002 Summary: One of Bobby's Best I have been listening to this album since 1967 and still can't get enough of hearing the great songs on it. I have it on vinyl and CD. Every track is great, particularly this version of "St. James Infirmary" If you are a Bland fan, make this a must have for your collection. Written on May 22, 2002 Summary: A classic blues vocal record Want the record to listen to when you're down and you just don't have the words? Want a record that'll make blues aficionados respect you? Don't know if you even like the blues, but want to find out? This is the record to get. This is one of the most famous blues records there is and it's easy to see why: Bland's incredibly heartfelt, smooth voice had great range of emotion and his stories spoke to anyone with even half aheart. His backing band was always tight and sure to remember who the star of the show was. The songs are classics of the blues tradition of the last 40 years. Simply put, you want this record even if you don't know it yet. It's how grand, yet human the blues can be all at once. Written on January 8, 2002 Summary: The Real Deal.... Here's an album anyone looking for great music should own. Has to be as good as any soul or blues album in the 1960's. Not dance music. Slow, simmering, deep but smoothe music from the human heart, and the crisp accompaniment of Bland's backing musicians is stellar and just punctuates the performances perfectly. The arranger and producer need some credits here, too, even though Bland and his band get first dibs on kudos. This is definitive Bobby "Blue" Bland. Make it your first purchase. Cream of the crop stuff. My favorite is "Lead Me On", a recording of haunting beauty. When his voice was in his prime and good form, this is a relief for those having purchased too many albums that overpromise. This one delivers in spades (sic). You won't feeled gipped here; that won't even occur to you. For the newcomer to the blues and the connoisseur of great records alike. A treat of a great set of performances par excellence, and what songs too! A tour-de-force, to use a term we seldom use anymore, because they hardly make great records like this anymore. |
