Bobby 'Blue' Bland: His California Album (LP, 180gram Vinyl)

Some albums are more than just music — they are pieces of the soul, captured forever.
‘His California Album’ is exactly that kind of masterpiece.
In 1973/74, Bobby 'Blue' Bland, one of America's greatest and most moving voices, recorded this landmark work in Los Angeles.
Under the direction of Steve Barri — who would also produce ‘Dreamer’ (BAF18029) — and backed by guitar legends like Larry Carlton, Mel Brown, and Dean Parks, Bland created an album that still resonates like a warm summer night filled with hope and blues.
Songs like ‘This Time I’m Gone For Good’, ‘(If Loving You Is Wrong) I Don’t Want To Be Right’, and ‘Help Me Through The Day’ tell stories of love, heartbreak, and survival — delivered with a raw honesty that only Bobby Bland could summon.
Now finally available again — pressed on 180-gram vinyl, carefully remastered, and housed in a faithfully reproduced original cover.
A must-have release not only for collectors, but for anyone who carries music deep within their heart.
‘His California Album’ – a timeless treasure for your record collection.

Bobby ‘Blue’ Bland – Rediscover a Timeless Classic on Vinyl!

When we reissued ‘Dreamer’ by Bobby ‘Blue’ Bland (1930–2013) on vinyl for the first time since its original release a few years ago, we had no idea how huge the demand would be.

Now it’s back – and it’s your chance to grab a true classic!

In 1973/74, Steve Barri produced two albums in Los Angeles with arguably the greatest soul and blues singer of all time. Back then, they received mixed reviews — but over 50 years later, ‘Dreamer’ and ‘His California Album’ sound cooler, smoother, and more timeless than ever.

Bland’s fusion of powerful gospel vocals and deep, heartfelt blues is truly moving:

His voice — sometimes heart-wrenching, sometimes soft and smooth — carries an emotional weight few can match.

Tough when needed, yet blessed with the silky crooner qualities of legends like Nat 'King' Cole.

With his albums for ABC Dunhill and later collaborations with B.B. King, Bobby Bland crossed over to a wider white audience.

‘His California Album’ stands as the perfect blend of Southern soul, raw blues, and laid-back Los Angeles cool.

Now, you can experience these timeless masterpieces again — on vinyl, just as they were meant to be heard.

Don't miss out – grab your copy now!

Feel the soul. Live the blues. Bring the classics back to your turntable.
