3.0 out of 5 stars
***1/2,
By Docendo Discimus (Vita scholae) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Martin Scorsese Presents The Blues: B.B. King (Audio CD)
There is a lot of good to be said about a concise single-disc compilation which draws from B.B. King's entire career. But this 12-track disc is rather skimpy, and while selections like "3 O'Clock Blues", "How Blue Can You Get" and the cross-over hit "The Thrill Is Gone" are excellent, the inclusion of the mediocre Robert Cray/B.B. King-duet "Playing With My Friends" and a couple of good but not great covers is a mistake.
Casual listeners will get a pretty good idea of what B.B. King is about from this collection, but the many available compilations focusing on specific eras of his work give a much better idea of his scope and depth.
