Le seul point négatif de l'album est sa durée trop courte : à peine plus de 30 mn, vous vous rendez compte. A noter aussi les 2 hits "I pity the fool" et "Little boy blue" qui lui ont apporté un semblant de succès. Mais c'est sur ses chansons blues comme dans "Cry cry cry", la reprise de "St James infirmary" de Joe Primrose ou " don't want no woman" que je le préfère, surtout qu'il est accompagné par le super guitariste Wayne Bennett. Il peut aussi être accompagné d'une section de cordes comme dans le larmoyant "Lead me on". Toute l'étendue de son registre y passe, que ce soit en mode crooner comme dans "Two steps from the blues", "I'll take care of you" et "I've just got to forget you" ou en mode rythm'n blues comme dans "Don't cry no more" où il se la joue à la Otis Redding, d'autant plus qu'il y est accompagné d'une section de cuivres du tonnerre. Il est doté d'une belle voix chaude et expressive qu'il met en évidence sur cet album sorti en 1961, et réédité en 2015.

In fact, it’s one of the key albums in modern blues, marking a turning point when juke joint blues were seamlessly blended with gospel and Southern soul, creating a distinctly Southern sound where all of these styles blended so thoroughly it was impossible to tell where one began and one ended.” STEįrom 1956 to 1960, Bland had some success on the R&B charts – five of those songs are gathered here. “Without a doubt, Two Steps from the Blues is the definitive Bobby ‘Blue’ Bland album and one of the great records in electric blues and soul-blues.
