Two Steps From the Blues - Bobby Bland


Two Steps From the Blues - Bobby Bland
215/500
This collection of the blues singer's 1958-1961 singles was recorded after Bland had his tonsils removed and lost some of his upper register. The result — an even more stirring, guttural howl — is epitomized by "Little Boy Blue" and "Cry, Cry, Cry," which erase any distinction between blues and soul.
