THE DUKE YEARS

3 CD BOX SET

Factory Sealed CD

 

‘Though he possessed gifts on a par with his most accomplished peers,’ said the NewYork Post in its obituary, ‘Bland never achieved the popular acclaim enjoyed by contemporaries like Ray Charles and BB King.But he was nevertheless a mainstay on the rhythm and blues charts and club circuit for decades.’ Hopefully this three-disc set of his Duke Records output from 1952-’62 will stay on your playlist, dear listener, for many years to come.
