Includes liner notes by Bill Dahl. By the end of his staggering 20-year run at the Duke label, Bobby Bland was rightly acknowledged as one of the premiere blues singers of all time. His constant presence on the R&B charts was matched only by his constant touring, a nearly endless pursuit that might very well have brought him to every smoky nightclub on earth. His first handful of post-Duke recordings, the best of which are included here, nearly match up to his early work, albeit in a decidedly different manner. The sophisticated uptown blues are replaced with a slinky groove that snakes its way throughout this compilation. Bland's manner is more relaxed, as if he's easing himself down into a hot tub with a bottle of champagne. Like the best of Bland's work, the mood is still sultry. "Ain't No Love in the Heart of the City" and "Yolanda" are as sexy as anything in his catalogue. One thing's for sure: if Bobby Bland is singing from a jacuzzi, he's not alone.   Compilation Appearances Vol. 3-Blues Is Alright Vol. 1-All Time Classic Blues Vol. 9-Oldies But Goodies Z Zelebration Music Never Stopped-Roots Of T Last Soul Company Last Soul Company Pure Blues Vol. 4-Blues Is Alright Golden Oldies Vol 7 20th Century Masters Best Of 20th Century Masters Best Of Blues Story Gold:blues Express Yourself:soul In The 20th Cen Blowing The Fuse 30 R&b Classics 1957 Farther On Up The Road   Associated Artists and Works Artists, Various Various Artists   Technical Info Release Date : 07/14/1998 Original Release Date : 1998 Catalog ID : 11809 Label : MCA Records (USA) Number of Discs : 1 Studio/Live : Studio Mono/Stereo : Mixed SPAR Code : n/a UPC : 00008811180928    Product Image
