MICK HUCKNALL: TRIBUTE TO BOBBY

Story Image


Hucknall steps into some serious shoes here

Thursday May 22,2008

HUCKNALL steps into some serious shoes here, attempting a tribute album to his idol, Bobby Bland, the Tennessee R&B great.

***BUY THIS CD NOW!***

Bland’s silky growl is inimitable and Mick is wise to avoid even the slightest modification of his own voice, but retains something of the magic of I Pity The Fool, Cry, Cry, Cry and I’m Too Far Gone through clever arrangements: brassy, tough but with a modern sheen.

OUR VERDICT: 3/5
