This CD sparkles from beginning to end. BB gets to show off his incredible voice as well as his tasty upfront guitar picking all the way through. The songs too are memorable. Particularly check out 'Back in L.A.', 'The Blues come over me' and the great Doc Pomus title track that continues to move me after 12 years of owning this album.

This album is excellent!!! It really shows BB's true greatness and versatility. It is a mix of blues and rock with great vocals
and lyrics. These songs move you. Some are footstomping and upbeat and others very poigntant. You can't help but sing along.
The guitar playing of course is great. "The Blues come over me" is awesome. ALL songs are great. A truly fantastic album.
A must but. ENJOY!!!!

Sounding incredibly fresh,the King returned in 1991 with an exceptional album that blended his trademark genre with soul and gospel.Real to life lyrics and great grooves complement this cross-over album proving that sometimes old dogs can learn new tricks and thus expand their audience.Featuring an excellently crisp production, this record is a must for any serious blues aficionado.

As BB said, this is his best. Truely great performance by an awesome voice. "There is Always One More Time" evokes an overwhelming emotion. I'm buying copies for our four children just for this track.

I' a truck driver and I liste nto this cd for hours and hours while driving thru teh open roads thru the desert! This is teh perfect driving companion cd, and I just sinh "I'm Movin on..." along with BB. His singing is exellent here and we get to hear a lot of guitar solos on his trusty Lucille guitar! This is the ultimate "on th road" cd, perfecting driving music. When I take family drives down to San Diego, we listen to this, my kids know all the words to the songs, great stuff!!! Better then Beetoven or Bach!!!

Even though this is B.B. KIng- I really wasn't sure what I was getting. I own many of the elder statesman of the blues recordings, including many of his earliest recordings, right up to many of the latest. B.B. of course is the inspiration for many blues artists and it is pretty hard not to like most anything this man does due to the fact that he makes everything mold into his passionate style of singing and deft playing. Class-Unique-Pioneer-Icon. This is B.B. King. Still this LA studio band with the likes of Joe Sample, Jim Keltner , Arthur Adams, and many more, put this recording in a different setting for B.B.- Is the material strong enough? Compatable enough to make this interesting? For me, this is a tremendously rousing set. The stories in each song are in a stylishly current urban L.A. sound and feel, mixed with Gospel. Soulful, up beat, and from the heart, if you like B.B. I recommend you give this one your ear. It is surprising, and B.B. says himself (originally dated 1991) that " This is one of my finest recordings I have ever made ". Well if B.B. likes it- I won't argue with him.

I've heard a lot of music over the years, and I've bought a lot of music. I can't say if this is his best, I haven't heard everything he's done, but this is one of the best recordings I've ever heard, of any genre of music.

He feels this music, and what's more he made music he liked. At least that is what comes across. I love and admire this effort.
