Album Notes & Community Reviews

The quintessential 'Lion of the Blues' delivers another masterclass in sophisticated Southern soul and blues on his 1967 Duke release. Backed by sumptuous horn charts and tight rhythm sections, Bland's signature raspy tenor and dramatic vocal catches seamlessly bridge deep blues storytelling with contemporary soul arrangements. The record reinforces his legendary status as a premier vocalist of the American R&B landscape.
