A TREASURE DISCOVERED - Recorded live at Ratso's, Chicago.
"Bobby Bland earned his enduring blues superstar status the hard way: without a guitar, harmonica, or any other instrument to fall back upon. All Bland had to offer was his magnificent voice, a tremendously powerful instrument in his early heyday, injected with charisma and melisma to spare. Just ask his legion of female fans, who deemed him a sex symbol late into his career." -Bill Dahl, All Music Guide
May we add that Bobby 'Blue' was also one of the great song writers. He passed June 23, 2013 (RIP).
This Original Live Concert contains some truly heartfelt performances by Bobby and his amazing southern horn band.
