The U.K.'s Mick Hucknall, globally renowned as lead vocalist for Simply Red, brings his world-class, blue-eyed soul front and center for his highly anticipated solo debut album, Tribute To Bobby. The disc was recorded to salute one of Hucknall's prime inspirations, legendary American blues vocalist Bobby "Blue" Bland. Described as a "master class in soul, blues and R&B," it features Hucknall's distinctive interpretations of twelve classic songs that were signature hits for Bland. At the same time that Hucknall honors the essence of the songs, and Bland's major influence on his artistry, he also infuses each take with the compelling stylistic imprint that's made Simply Red so enduringly popular.
Album Description
With Tribute To Bobby, one of the U.K.'s most soulful and distinctive voices - Mick Hucknall - pays homage to one of the most legendary vocalists from the American South, Bobby 'Blue' Bland. The twelve-track disc is the solo debut album from the Simply Red frontman, and it features Hucknall's emotionally direct and worldly-wise interpretations of songs that were originally popularized by Memphis-based blues icon Bland. Mojo magazine gives it '3 stars out of 5 -- Loose-limbed and often monstrously funky, Tribute To Bobby finds Hucknall singing from the heart."

i was on a trip not long ago and was listening to xm radio jazz and the 1st track came on and i was hooked! i have always enjoyed the music of simply red and when i found out the lead singer was doing this tribute to bobby blue bland, i was blown away...ordered it as soon as i got home from my trip. well worth almost anyt price i would have had to pay but you guys had an awsome price and made it soooo easy! ordered several other things that day too. by the way, couldn't find this cd at any store so your selections are the best! thanks for such great service...louella

I am truly enjoying the CD, the updated version of Bobby's music is tastfully done. I am ordering it as a gift for someone else who loves the Blues.

This CD is a great find - just perfect to listen to at work - not too jarring for those around you. I love it....the songs and the voice are terrific. Any of my coworkers who have passed my desk while I was playing this CD actually stopped to asked who was singing. And a few actually bought it after that. A good find.
WOW.... Very good CD, October 31, 2008

so why did i sleep on this? I love the CD Stay, as with all Simply Red Cd's. I keep for getting that Simply Red is a group, not a person. I first heard this song while switching up ipods in my car. As I was doing this the radio came on, and i hear this nice beat, and the voice of lead singer of Simply Red, so i am thinking, I know the voice, but did not recall the song, as I have all the CD's of Simply Red. So i had to hear the entire song, as another person is singing,, and later to find out it's Bobby Blue Bland. I had to search the net for any new simply red stuff. I could not find it until i did a search for the song 'Up the Road'. Bang! I found it, so i see this is the lead singer of simply red, and this has been out since the summer. I had to download this , and later i will get the CD so i can read all the credits and stuff. I enjoy this, and Glad to know he is still with the group.

i heard this opening song on the radio, couldn't get out o fthe ar until it finished. Went inside, couldn't find it on itunes. I then wrote the DJ an e-mail to find out who the singer was and the name of the CD. Found it right away when he responded, and now i am wearing it out.
