Description
Tribute to Bobby is a twelve track master class in soul, blues and R&B and a tribute to one of Hucknalls most important inspirations and musical idols, Bobby Bland. Along with such artists as Sam Cooke, Ray Charles and Junior Parker, Bland developed a sound that mixed gospel with blues and R&B. He sang classics such as big-band blues number Farther Up The Road (US R&B top 10 hit in 1957) and perfected his craft in the 1960s with a series of releases including Cry Cry Cry and I Pity The Fool. On the album Tribute to Bobby Hucknalls compelling vocals emphasise the sentiment of each of the twelve cover songs, whilst masterfully adopting the songs and making them entirely his own.
