Format:Audio CD
For true soul fans this is a must buy! This man can sing his heart, and yours, to pieces. At his best, as on this album, he is only to be compared to great artists like: Otis Redding, Marvin gaye, Bobby Womack and Stevie wonder. On tunes like "It's not the Spotlight", and "Friday the 13'th Child", bobby shows his full range as singer and songwriter extraordinaire.

goin down slow
25 Oct 2001
Format:Audio CD
This is in my opinion the best (money) I have ever spent on a cd. There are limitless replay opportunites with this album. His version of Going Down Slow (a Gatemouth Moore original)is awesome it turns a slow classic into a fast rythem masterpiece. Every song on the album is beautifully done. I have without a doubt listened to this cd more than other of the over three hundred Blues cd's I currently own. It is a must have for any true Blues fan. Get it, you will not be disappointed. The first track should be the music you start any roadtrip or "I have had enough trip" with. Don't cheat yourself.

An infectious collection by a master of the blues.
3 Mar 1999
Format:Audio CD
Bobby "Blue" Bland is a master of the sly blues: just when you think a song is going to slip into a predictable blues groove, he cocks back and roars or tosses off a throaty growl that grabs at the base of your spine. It's always magic in person, nearly always magic on records. This CD is NOT his best work and it left me cold on the first few listens; it has a definite 70's quality (hey, it was recorded in 1973) that sometimes edges toward disco arrangements, but as I said, Mr. Bland is such a great master, he rescues it. "If Loving You is Wrong," a song that would (and should) bomb by any other artist is somehow twisted into a tight blues riff by Bland. Overall though, after leaving this in my stereo for several days, I've come to love the CD, despite the 70s song selections, and occasionally corny backing orchestrations, Bland's style and command of his voice rescues it. If you're buying your first Bland CD, look for his recent "Live on Beale Street" or classic "First Class Blues" but if you like a soft blues listen with great horns, give this a try. Not Bland at his best, to be sure, but you just have to love this guy's authenticity. Oh, and if you're a Van Morrison fan (as I am) you'll learn where Van finds a LOT of his horn and backing vocal arrangements. Van only borrows from the best.

Barney ... My most favorite blues yet.
16 April 1999
Format:Audio CD
Bobby "Blue" Bland had done great job in this album. Every single song in this album is great. If you have heard these songs in his other albums, I am telling you, they are completely different in this album. All the songs are enhanced with great music that are different that his other albums.
This is the second time I am buying this album; since my first one was stolen from me.
