Product Description

CD Description

Simply Red frontman Mick Hucknall releases his first solo album 'Tribute To Bobby', a collection of songs taken from the back catalogue of the enormously influential singer Bobby 'Blue' Bland. From the late 1950s onward, Bland's version ofsoul, blues and RnB helped set the tone and standard of theera. Hucknall's vocals do a great job of maintaining the power and sentiment of each song, while also making them his own. Tracks include 'Farther Up The Road' and 'Cry Cry Cry'.

5.0 out of 5 stars An absolutely fantastic album, 27 May 2008
By Mrs. G. A. Benney (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
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

2.0 out of 5 stars Unsoulful Blues, 27 May 2008
I was intrigued to hear this album as I have loved Bobby Bland for a long time. He is one of the original greats up there with Ray Charles and Sam Cooke as a pioneer in soul music's early years. Good on Mick Hucknall for wanting to update some fine old tunes even if he said some daft things about how he and Mr Bland are coming from similar backgrounds in an interview in Mojo.(Both outsiders apparently)

Mick Hucknall somehow manages to 'de-soul' some fine old songs.Try as I might I just didn't get it. Hucknall seemed out of his depth throughout and I didn't like the timbre of his voice. The album lacked authenticity and whilst it was obviously a labour of love I found the arrangements to be bland (no pun intended)and anodyme lacking the essential blues and soul of the originals.

My advice is to go elsewhere on this site and buy the originals. Start with 'Two Steps from the Blues' and if it's your thing then try 'The California album' and his fine Malaco release 'Years of Tears'.
