Editorial Review: From Amazon.com: Bobby Bland's uptown, brass-and-strings-drenched blues kept him on the charts long after gut-bucket kings such as Howlin' Wolf and Muddy Waters had dropped from black-radio airwaves. The artistic successes chronicled on this second volume of his greatest hits shouldn't come as a surprise, then, despite the frequent input of ultracommercial producer Steve Barri, who'd crafted AM hits for acts as diverse as the Grass Roots and the post-Motown Four Tops. Even with some accommodations to trends (the disco beat of "The Soul of a Man," chicken-scratching guitars here, there, and everywhere), Bland kept on being Bland, cutting country songs ("Today I Started Loving You Again") and blues standards ("Goin' Down Slow") and investing Dan Penn's "I Hate You" with a unique pungency. This disc performs a valuable service in lifting the veil from an often-overlooked period in the career of one of American music's most important interpretive singers. --Rickey Wright Customer Reviews

 Rating: - "You're A Link In My Chain...Someone Will Chase The Clouds Away..."Subtitled "The ABC-Dunhill/MCA Recordings" this 1998 USA-only compilation is a deceptive little bugger that packs a whole lot more punch than it's naff title and sleeve would suggest. It covers the period 1973 to 1982 and therefore gives us some great-sounding remasters from a criminally under-represented part of Bland's extraordinary career. Here's the breakdown - US LP catalogue numbers (69:33 minutes): 1. This Time I'm Gone For Good 2. Goin Down Slow (Tracks 1 and 2 are from "His California Album", 1973 on Dunhill 50163) 3. I Wouldn't Treat A Dog (The Way You Treated Me) 4. Ain't No Love In the Heart Of The City 5. Yolanda 6. I Ain't Gonna Be The First To Cry (Tracks 3 to 6 ... Read More: Rating: - Hidden GemIf you like music that falls in between soul and the blues this is for you. A voice with a tone between velvet and a rasp, Bobby Bland is one of those hidden treasures that you find occasionally via the most circuitous roots. Backed by one of the best sets of R&B musicians this stuff evokes early Stax and has some of the best grooves youare ever likely to hear. Its amazing that his stuff is not better known. I went straight back onto the site and ordered another one! |
