Good Early B.B. King,
By
This review is from: B.B. King Wails (Audio CD)
A really good album. Love the orchestra and horns. If you're a casual listener of B.B. King, looking for hits or just want his straight forward blues you should look elsewhere. I'm a diehard fan and collector of B.B. and think this album is a good addition to my collection. "Every Day I Have The Blues" with the Count Basie Orchestra is definitely a stand out. I also enjoy "Sweet Thing" and "I've Got Papers on You Baby." It seems with this album B.B. King's management was trying to give him more of a poppy sound, maybe to bring in more white listeners.

2.0 out of 5 stars
Inferior Jukebox material - completists only,
By
This review is from: B.B. King Wails (Audio CD)
Although my favorite King recordings are from the 50s, this is very dispensible material. It's the throw-away jukebox recordings all black recording stars seem to have been obliged to do at some stage.
Although the big band is punchy, the songs are uniformly poor, with King sounding foolish singing about teenage themes and school girls. The arrangements are often tastless, and worst of all, King's guitar sound is bad. He sounds like someone just starting out, not the veteran he already was by that time. The nadir is a pop song based on the "Kumbyah" theme, which is not only bad in its own right, but incompetently arranged as well.
