 Bobby
Blue Bland
"Blues at Midnight"
The 73-year-old soul-blues master returns to form
with this CD, recorded in Malaco's Jackson, Mississippi,
studios and at Alabama's famed Muscle Shoals Sound.
The playing is right and tight, from the graceful
guitar fills of session aces Reggie Young and
Jimmy Johnson on "My Sunday's Comin' Soon"
to the Hammond B-3 organ tones that permeate the
album. But what's best, of course, is hearing
Bland tear into good tunes penned by a who's who
of modern deep-soul songwriters including George
Jackson ("I Caught the Blues from Someone
Else") and Rue Davis ("I've Got the
Blues at Midnight").

 Roomful
of Blues
"That's Right"
The Roomful of Blues are one of those bands
not unlike the Fabulous Thunderbirds or the
Nighthawks that seem to endure yearly personal
changes and still somehow manage to sound great.
This is the Roomful's 17th release. It's all
a good time romp in typical Roomful fashion.
No youngsters to the blues, the Roomful plays
with the best of them. In fact, the guitar of
Chris Vachon on tunes like "How Long Will
It Last" and "I'll Keep On Trying"
is so good; it makes you wonder why he is not
featured more. Whatever the reason, the Roomful
of Blues formula of horns, keyboard, guitar,
harp and great vocals is a formula for success.
