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

What can I say that hasn't already been said??
Bobby is the man (period)
And to top it all off, Amazon has a great price for this Anthology CD. Dont even think about downloading per track! You will be looking at about $45-$50 bucks. And the free shipping... just cant be beat.
There are at least 30 "hits" on this CD of 50. Excellent value

Sit down, pull your shoes off, relax and listen to this!!!! You need no other!!!! My husband and I love it!!! We have all of Bobby's cds AND some tapes (we're from the "ole school").

Bobby Bland Anthology February 24, 2007

How many artists have been covered by the Grateful Dead ("One More Saturday Night"), been sampled by Jay-Z ("Ain't No Love In the Heart of the City"), and played with B.B. King in concert? Just one: Bobby "Blue" Bland. Man, this guy is amazing. I religiously listen to the blues show on my local jazz radio station every weekend, but besides one live Albert Collins CD, some John Lee Hooker, and some Howlin' Wolf, I've almost never actually gone out and bought something I heard on that show. But when I heard Bobby's "Goin' Down Slow," I was transfixed. I had already arrived home in my Jeep, but I sat there through the five minute song, in awe, and I couldn't stop thinking how this was something that Dylan or Jerry Garcia would just LOVE (and that was before I knew that "One More Saturday Night" was actually a Bobby Bland cover!). Well, about half the stuff on this Anthology is equally good. Just listen to the sound sample for "Poverty," as well as the songs I've already mentioned. Check Bobby Bland out for yourself and you won't be disappointed.

You can't think about downhome blues without thinking about Bobby Bland. Even though he has a more sophisticated style of singing the blues, his singing will put you in a bluesy mood.
WONDERFUL! August 15, 2005

This cd is the best option for avid Bobby Bland fans. It has every song that you might possibly want and some you may have forgotten. For the price, its optimum.
