{"product_id":"bobby-bland-two-steps-from-the-blues","title":"Bobby Bland - Two Steps From The Blues","description":"\u003cp\u003eBobby \"Blue\" Bland (1930-2013) was one of the main creators of the modern soul blues sound. Along with such artists as Sam Cooke, Ray Charles, and Junior Parker, Bland developed a style that mixed gospel with blues and R\u0026amp;B. His anguished voice, with charisma and melisma to spare, was a confident and expressive instrument. Presented here is Blands outstanding debut LP, Two Steps from the Blues, originally released in January 1961, one of the key albums in modern blues, marking a turning point when juke joint blues became seamlessly blended with gospel and southern soul. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BLUES JOINT","offers":[{"title":"180G Virgin Vinyl","offer_id":53623955325255,"sku":"TRI-06327","price":19.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0931\/9779\/5655\/files\/2d13f19cdfa0d2f0efa90f2ec65eaa5e.jpg?v=1774961636","url":"https:\/\/towerrecords.ie\/products\/bobby-bland-two-steps-from-the-blues","provider":"Tower Records Dublin Ireland","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
