Two Steps From the Blues
Editorial Reviews

Bobby Bland could both comfort and chill, sometimes in the same song. He does so on this undeniably classic album's "Lead Me On," which begins with the line "You know how it feels, you understand / What it is to be a stranger in this unfriendly land" and ends softly two minutes later with the promise "I'll follow you." Such drama, coupled with a mellow soulfulness, is the norm on Two Steps. Bland has been called "the Sinatra of the blues" more than once, and this album is the best explanation ever for that appellation. --Rickey Wright

Originally issued in 1961, this sublime album has Bland merging precise and eloquent vocals with an exceptional musical imagination on "I Pity the Fool," "Don't Cry No More," and nine more enthralling songs. Sympathetic producer Joe Scott never lets the brass section hinder the upsurge of Bland's phrases. -- © Frank John Hadley 1993
