4.0 out of 5 stars Truly the King of the Blues, December 3, 1999
By Jim Ferrara (Levittown, NY) - See all my reviews
If you've ever enjoyed any of BB King's music you will thoroughly enjoy this compilation. It spans his carreer and his different types of music. Some of the songs make you want to crawl into the corner seat at your local bar with a bottle all to yourself while others make you want to get up & dance. It is one of the better blues albums I've heard. Going to buy one for my Mom right now, that's how good it is.

1.0 out of 5 stars Look elsewhere for a better collection...., November 29, 2004
By Brian Kerecz (Bethlehem, PA, USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Dollar for dollar, the Millennium Collection CDs are disappointing, and that is putting it nicely.

You can get many more songs for not much more money by looking at other collections, or "Best of" CDs. I see these in the store and am always amazed that people buy them. Not just for BB King, but for numerous artists.

Dollar for dollar, this is simply the worst way to sample the King.

5.0 out of 5 stars Got the blues and I feel soooo good, February 22, 2002
By doug (North Bay, Ontario Canada) - See all my reviews
If you just want a taste of BBK than this is an excellent place to start for a small amount of bucks, money well spent. Remastering is very good. Jump and shout and get your mojo goin'.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good, but could be better
I absolutely love B.B. King. He and his partner, (his guitar) "Lucille," get plenty of focus on this 10-song collection. Read more

3.0 out of 5 stars Poor sound quality
A lot of songs for little money, however, there are no liner notes and the sound quality is very poor. Read more

This is the best B.B. King CD value for the money. It's a little shallow song-wise and leaves out so many gems form his long, fruitful career, but it's some of his most... Read more
