The Jackson, Mississippi-based Malaco Records became Bobby Bland's label from the mid-'80s onward. Dating from 1987, BLUES YOU CAN USE is another strong set, showing his ease with both funky grooves ("Get Your Money Where You Spend Your Time") and slow balladry ("Our First Blues Song").

As is generally the case with Malaco, scant information is provided in the package, but the core band is joined here by horns and/or strings, nicely underscoring the needs of each song. A song like "24 Hours a Day" finds Bland in full command, with his trademark snarling snorts zapping out like uncorked electricity. Bland was well into his fourth decade as a performing and recording artist at the time of these sessions, and he both maintains and expands upon the verve and promise of his recordings for the Duke label in the '50s.
