Product Description
Album Description
Mick Hucknall releases his first ever solo album on May 19th, recorded in tribute to the legendary American singer Bobby `Blue' Bland. `Tribute to Bobby' is a twelve track master class in soul, blues and R&B and a tribute to one of Hucknall's most important inspirations and musical idols. On the album `Tribute to Bobby' Hucknall's compelling vocals emphasise the sentiment of each of the songs, whilst masterfully adopting the songs and making them entirely his own. The CD is released along with an exclusive DVD documentary about the making of the album, shot in the recording studio and in Memphis where Hucknall met Bland for the first time.
Mick's passion and respect for Bobby Bland is unquestioned
"I'd been listening to Bobby's songs for so long that is was almost second nature to try and do these tunes", he says..

This is the first time I've ever given a review,but felt I just had to.
It is a fabulous album, don't be put off if you are not a blues fan, it is also funky, and great for dancing round the kitchen too, while you're cooking the dinner.Mick Hucknall has picked a terrific selection of songs, and for a change the album starts off with one you can really rock to .
The musicians are top class,very slick, and each track I had to listen to twice before I continued to the next, and each one is superb in it's own right.The production has also been handled by experts and it shows.
This is the album that Mick Hucknall was meant to make...although all those made with Simply Red are wonderful, this seems to be the one he sounds most at home with, in my humble opinion.
More of the same please Mick

I liked the album. It is blues with a more modern perspective. There's only one song that sounds like what we usually expect from Mick Hucknall but I'd recommend this album to any fan of blues music.
