1.0 out of 5 stars Don't buy this album, August 23, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Best of (Audio CD)

If you expect to receive 9 songs from it, you will be very dissapointed. Song #2 is just a verbal introduction (so it doesn't count as a song actually). Song #9 lasts only 10 seconds: it is BB on the piano for just 10 seconds, then you will listen for almost 2 minutes his voice echoing off. So in reality you are paying for only 7 decent songs of the great BB King. This compilation is only worth half of what you will pay for it.

there are far better compilation packages to get from bb king. this one feels a bit off and from the layering of certain tracks. you don't get all that is advertised on here and yes there are way better bb king compilations to get.

This is a fairly decent compilation of the King of the Blues, but seriously, considering how many albums the man has released over the years no compilation would be sufficient alone.
