5.0 out of 5 starsExcellent Sampler
By Steve Vrana HALL OF FAMETOP 500 REVIEWER on January 1, 2001
Format: Audio CD
This is an extremely brief single-disc summary of B.B. King's MCA output beginning with his first single for the label, 1963's "How Blue Can You Get?" through his pairing with Robert Cray on "Playin' with My Friends" from 1993's Blues Summit all-star recording. Among the many highlights are two tracks ("Every Day I Have the Blues" and "Sweet Little Angel") from the essential Live at the Regal, "The Thrill Is Gone" (which went to No. 15 in 1970, making it the highest charting blues song ever on the U.S. pop charts!) and the chilling "When Love Comes to Town" with U2. While condensing 30 years of music onto a single disc is an impossible task, this makes an excellent primer for novice fans on a budget. RECOMMENDED [Note: Last November MCA released the 2-disc B.B. King Anthology. It includes EVERY song on Greatest Hits, plus an additional 18 songs. For a few extra bucks, this would be the album to get instead.]

5.0 out of 5 starsIf you have never heard BB, this is a great place to start.
By A Customer on February 13, 1999
Format: Audio CD
The only reason that I can think of as to why no one has bothered to review this cd is because those of us who are fans already have most of the tracks on here. But for those of you who have only recently seen the light and have become BB fans and don't know where to start, this is the perfect cd for you. This cd was put out only recently, and it does a great job of covering BB's older songs as well as some from the more recent "Blues Summit". This is far superior to the way-too-short "Best of BB King" LP that we were stuck buying until this one came out. All but three or four of the songs on "Best of.." are covered here also. The point is, if you are only going to buy one BB King album (and may I ask WHY???). this should be it. In my opinion, every one of these songs, especially the incredibly durable blues classic "The Thrill is Gone", belong in everyone's music collection. Once you check this one out, you will immediately want to get into some of his other albums, of which I would recommend "Completely Well", "Back In The Alley", and of course the new one, "Blues On The Bayou". Do yourself a big favor and buy the cd, you're gonna love it.

5.0 out of 5 stars"So You See Why I Stuck With Blues."
By Anthony G Pizza VINE VOICE on December 20, 2000
Format: Audio CD
This BB King quote, stated to David Ritz, was his conclusion to why he chose to play and sing blues over his other love, gospel music. "A gospel song would get me a pat on the head," he said. "But a blues would get me a dime." The blues earned King not only more than his share of dimes, but a spot among music's seminal performers and teachers. Despite Ritz properly mentioning that King's music was too blue for rock and roll or soul during his early career, he has become as much a caretaker of rock's traditions as of the blues themselves.
This one-disc collection, even at 16 songs, seems too little space for BB King's prolific, quality output, especially after 1992's expansive "King Of The Blues" box. But "Greatest Hits" timed to King's most recent rock-oriented successes: his "How Blue Can You Get?" sampled on a pop hit, his U2 collaboration, his Robert Cray duet on "Playing With My Friends" (from "Blues Summit," among the 90s best blues releases), even "Paying The Cost To Be The Boss" covered by Pat Benatar! With remarkable liner notes and references to original ABC/MCA LPs (nearly all in print), "Greatest Hits" is a sampler tour through BB King's immense, classic blues catalogue.
It's also another chance to hear King with much better sound, courtesy of compiler Andy McKaie (who handled MCA's exceptional Chess blues compilations) and Erick Labson's remastering. It freshly paints Johnny Pate's production on 1964's seminal "Live At The Regal" tracks, King's 1969-70 string of of rockin' blues hits ("Why I Sing The Blues," the original "Thrill Is Gone"), even overlooked gems like Doc Pomus/Dr. John's tailor-made "There Must Be A Better World Somewhere.Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 starsThe King at his best
By David W on April 9, 2014
Format: Audio CD Verified Purchase
The thrill is still going!!
I love the man, his music and his legacy. What a great collection of his greatest tunes. Nothing much to say about this one, it's perfect. If you're young and never heard BB King, spend a few bucks and enjoy the master. If you're a blues fan, have this one in your car, I will.
5 stars all day long. BB King will always be the king of the blues! I hate to sound old but these young kids don't know what they're missing. THIS is REAL music!!
