Call On Me/The Feeling Is Gone/Honky Tonk/Cry Lover Cry/Wishing Well/Share Your Love With Me/That’s The Way Love Is/Care For Me/No Sweeter Girl/Bobby’s Blues/Ain’t It A Good Thing/Queen For A Day

Blues singer and guitarist Bobby 'Blue' Bland scored his only US top twenty album hit with Call On Me. Includes the minor US hits That's The Way Love Is and the title track. (US:11)

"A near-perfect collection of early-'60s sides documents the man at his best."

"His soulful voice was a touch of Otis Redding and a number of other soul singers."

"It is good for that time at a party when the moment comes to slow down."

"He sounded just as conversant on the soulful R & B rumba Call On Me as on the polished ballad That's The Way Love Is."

"Although the sticker on the album's package refers to Call On Me as a blues album, its really more of a soul-blues hybrid."

"Call On Me is a sure-fire success of an album, especially from an era that wasn't album-centric, and doesn't get nearly the recognition it should."

That’s The Way Love Is makes me smile. Great memories - it totally soothes my soul."

“Nothing makes me feel better than Bobby Bland singing the blues."
