King he has █░ █▓ ▓█ ░█ straddled the charts over many decades and █░ █▓ ▓█ ░█ recorded in a variety of styles. Always a █░ █▓ ▓█ ░█ blues ballad stylist without peer, he had █░ █▓ ▓█ ░█ little difficulty in creating the soul/blues █░ █▓ ▓█ ░█ hybrid represented by his albums from the 70's █░ █▓ ▓█ ░█ onwards. █░ █▓ ▓█ ░█ █░ █▓ ▓█ ░█ There is still a tremendous amount of material █░ █▓ ▓█ ░█ available from his Duke label recording █░ █▓ ▓█ ░█ period, when he first consistently started █░ █▓ ▓█ ░█ hitting the Billboard and R'n'B charts - █░ █▓ ▓█ ░█ including any number of compilations of which █░ █▓ ▓█ ░█ "The Best Of" is but one example. This is a █░ █▓ ▓█ ░█ single CD at a relatively cheap introductory █░ █▓ ▓█ ░█ price but Bland is worth more than that - if █░ █▓ ▓█ ░█ you can, try and get hold of one of the many █░ █▓ ▓█ ░█ double CD collections which are still █░ █▓ ▓█ ░█ available. Better still, collect the original █░ █▓ ▓█ ░█ albums from the period - most have been █░ █▓ ▓█ ░█ reissued and Bland was one of the few artists █░ █▓ ▓█ ░█ around at that time who put albums together █░ █▓ ▓█ ░█ rather than a couple of single tracks █░ █▓ ▓█ ░█ surrounded by second and third rate filler - █░ █▓ ▓█ ░█ probably because he worked in partnership with █░ █▓ ▓█ ░█ Joe Scott, a talented arranger and writer of █░ █▓ ▓█ ░█ much of the material Bland recorded. █░ █▓ ▓█ ░█ █░ █▓ ▓█ ░█ █░ █▓ ▓█ ░█ Listen to Bobby Bland's This Time I'm Gone █░ █▓ ▓█ ░█ For Good 49k █░ █▓ ▓█ ░█ RealAudio █░ █▓ ▓█ ░█ █░ █▓ ▓█ ░█ One of the very best from the time was the █░ █▓ ▓█ ░█ album "Two Steps From The Blues" which █░ █▓ ▓█ ░█ includes Bland standards such as 'I Pity The █░ █▓ ▓█ ░█ Fool', 'Cry, Cry, Cry' and 'I'll Take Care Of █░ █▓ ▓█ ░█ You' as well as the title track. █░ █▓ ▓█ ░█ █░ █▓ ▓█ ░█ When Bland joined ABC Dunhill, he teamed up █░ █▓ ▓█ ░█ with producer Steve Barri and a stellar set of █░ █▓ ▓█ ░█ session men and produced albums of the quality █░ █▓ ▓█ ░█ of "His California Album", "Dreamer" and, █░ █▓ ▓█ ░█ perhaps best of all, "Reflections In Blue" █░ █▓ ▓█ ░█ (All still available on CD). On each he proved █░ █▓ ▓█ ░█ himself a great interpreter of wide ranging █░ █▓ ▓█ ░█ material. He is still recording and albums █░ █▓ ▓█ ░█ such as "Members Only" and "After All" (on the █░ █▓ ▓█ ░█ Malaco label) are all worth hearing. The CD █░ █▓ ▓█ ░█ "First Class Blues" (Malaco MCD 5000) captures █░ █▓ ▓█ ░█ material from these and other Malaco █░ █▓ ▓█ ░█ recordings. █░ █▓ ▓█ ░█ █░ █▓ ▓██ ▀ ▀ ██▓ ▓██▄ /TEAM MPX ▄██▓ ▓▓██ ██▓▓ ▄▄ ▓██ ░▒▓██████████████████████████████████████████▓▒░ ██▓ ▄▄ ░██ ▓█ █▓ ██░ ░██ ▓█ ████ ████ █▄ █ ████ ███▄ ████ ████ █▓ ██░ ░█▀ ▓██ ▓█ ▓█ █ ▓███ ▓█ ▓█ █ ▓█ ▓█ ██▓ ▀█░ ▀ ▓███ ▓█▄▄ ▓█▄█ ▓█ █ ▓█ ▓█▀█ ▓█▄▄ ▓█ ███▓ ▀ ▓██▀▀ ▀▀██▓ ▓▓█▀ MPX CreW was formed on 10th of MAY 2003 by ▀█▓▓ ▓█ ░█ some party people living in the scene, █░ █▓ ▓██ ▀ to keep it alive! ▀ ██▓ ▓██▄ ▄██▓ ▓▓██ We are currently looking for: ██▓▓ ▄▄ ▓██ ██▓ ▄▄ ░██ ▓█ [-] Rippers (all genres + live) █▓ ██░ ░██ ▓█ [-] 100mbit+ affil sites █▓ ██░ ░█▀ ▓██ [-] 100mbit+ dump sites ██▓ ▀█░ ▀ ▓███ [-] Legal Shell/Hardware suppliers ███▓ ▀ ▓██▀▀ ▀▀██▓ ▓▓█▀ Feel free to contact us @ #MPX (EFnet,+k) ▀█▓▓ ▓█ ░█ or [email protected] ! █░ █▓ ▓█ ░█ █░ █▓ ▓██ ▀ ░▒▓██████████████████████████████████████████████▓▒░ ▀ ██▓ ▓██▄ ▄██▓ ▓▓██ ████ ███▄ ███▄ ███▄ ████ ███ ██▓▓ ▄▄ ▓██ ▄ ▄ ▄ ▄ ▄ ▓█ ▄ ▓█ █ ▓█▄ ▓█▄ ▓█ ▓█▄ ▄ ▄ ▄ ▄ ▄ ██▓ ▄▄ ░██ ▓█ ▓█▄█ ▓█▀▄ ▓█▄▄ ▓█▄▄ ▓█ ▄▄█ █▓ ██░ ░██ ▓█ █▓ ██░ ░█▀ ▓██ ...GOES TO ALL GROUPS THAT KEEP THE SCENE ALiVE! ██▓ ▀█░ ▀ ▓███ ███▓ ▀ ▓██▀▀ 1REAL, TGX, SMX, QMI, EGO, CNS, SND, NBD, BPM, QMB ▀▀██▓ ▓▓█▀░▓ ▓░▀█▓▓ ▓█ ░█ AND ALL OTHERS WE FORGOT █░ █▓ ▓██ ▀ ▀ ██▓ ▓██▄ ▄██▓ ▓▓███▄▄ ▄▄███▓▓ ▄▄ ▓█████████ ▓▓█ ▓█ ▓█ █ █ █ ██ █ █ █ █▓ █▓ █▓▓ █████████▓ ▄▄ ░██ ▓███▀▀ ▀▀███▓ ██░ ░██ ▓██ [ASCii BY AyLieN / CHEMiCAL REACTiON!] ██▓ ██░ ░█▀ ▓████ ████▓ ▀█░ ▀ ▓███ ▓███ 2K3 ███▓ ███▓ ▀ ▓██▀▀ ▓▓█████▄▄▄▄ ▄▄▄▄█████▓▓ ▀▀██▓ ▓▓█▀ ▓▀▀ ▀▀▓ ▀█▓▓ ▓██ ██▓ ██ ██ █ █
