Although this album shows much of BB's gospel roots, it is a very rough recording and not really worth it. Both the vocals and guitar are muddy and hard to distinguish. I bought it two years ago, listened to it twice and have never listened to it again. If you want a cheap recording, try something else.

I enjoy listening to BB King and finally found his version of Swing Low Sweet Chariot. What a deal one of my favorite artists singing one of the all-time greats, the song that is to played at my wake. Was I ever disappointed when I played the CD. The sound quality was so poor I could not enjoy the music. Only thing that comes to mind is the sound of nails being dragged across the chock board.

Sound quality very poor, I returned the CD

OMG, truly awful sound quality. I was excited to see a BB King album at our local recycling center, but after a quick listen I guessed why it was there instead of in someone's collection. This was "digitally remastered" in Canada by St. Clair Entertainment Group, Inc and one can only imagine what else they are capable of.

I had been searching for a clean digital version of this for years. The original LP was in my collection from four decades back and I had digitized it when I made the great shift to MP3 and FLAC years ago --

But what have they done to this music? It's not simply the compression. The MP3 I made years ago sounds light years better than this, even though the record was ancient and scratched.

do not pay ANY amount of money for this CD. It is like listening through a wall.
