Editorial Reviews

From Grove Press Guide to Blues on CD

The leader's voice and guitar, the former a tad worn in spots, converge with riffs from spruce New York jazz musicians in sharp arrangements. This program, with several old songs changed into new clothes, first appeared in 1983. -- © Frank John Hadley 1993

Great blues n' jazz set from B.B. King. His guitar playing is great and vocals are superb. Some of the songs contain a very sublime feel but his guitar and vocal work keeps everything exciting and so does his great backing band. The backing band is excellent espically the horns on the instrumental "Rainbow Riot". The xylophone (or something along those lines) work on "Rainbow Riot" and "Teardrops From Eyes" is very interesting. The saxophone on "Rainbow Riot" is incredible and the trumpet on "Darlin' You Know I Love You" is also excellent. B.B.'s vocals on shine on trakcs such as "Darlin' You Know I Love You." The best guitar is on "Inflation Blues", "Heed My Warning" and "I Can't Let You Go."

One word for this cd: Sublime! From the very first note, you know this is going to be a good cd. If you've scrolled down this far into BB KING and are reading this, then you should know that as BB KING fan I recommend this highly. King's got tons of recordings, some good and some not so good. This is one of his better recordings. As a guitarist, we all want to reach what BB reaches when he strikes those strings. We seldom do, but it sure inspiring as heck to listen to him and try. He's Sublime, everybody knows it!

I've had this CD since it first came out. BB King recorded the CD after coming in off of a tour. This CD has a strong horn section backing up the vocals. This CD rocks. This is a great BB King CD. I've been a fan for a long time and this CD is highly reccomended and one that you will enjoy listening to over and over again. When something is well done, it doen't get old. This CD stands the test of time. Go buy it.
