B.B.KING & BOBBY BLAND: Together For The First Time That's "together for the first time" on disc, of course. ... Bland and King have shared stages since the '50s, when they were both members of the Beale Streeters, the legendary Memphis blues commune. In any case, this 1974 concert catches both artists at the peak of their game, recorded (with a nice sense of inside-the-band intimacy) in front of an extremely appreciative audience.

Blues on Top of Blues is the fourteenth studio album by B.B. King released in 1968 on BluesWay BLS-6011. The album reached a peak position of number 46 on Billboard's R&B Albums chart.

Anyone else remember that game "Guess Who" with the pictures of faces? Such a great game. Ahh, good times

Симпатичный во всех отношениях диск Короля Блюза. Хороший, прозрачный звук, красивый соул-блюз и ритм-н-блюз, пение и игра Би Би на гитаре выше всяких похвал.

Она также одна из самых расслабленных и удовлетворяющих для меня... Никто не говорил нам что делать.Никто и не должен говорить нам, что делать. Я считаю, что группа играет на этом альбоме, лучше чем когда-либо".

"When Love Comes to Town" is a song by Irish rock band U2 featuring blues guitarist B. B. King. It is the twelfth track from U2's 1988 album, Rattle and Hum, and was released in 1989 as the record's third single. The song was recorded at the historic Sun Studio in Memphis. "When Love Comes to Town" reached number one in the Irish Singles Chart, number six in the UK singles chart, number ten in the Dutch Top 40 and number two in the US Mainstream Rock Tracks chart.

On this date King usually overdubbed his guitar to play along with his vocals (somehow the interplay does not sound spontaneous) but it does not detract from the final results. The intelligent and philosophical lyrics fit King's style very well and his voice is very much in prime form.

This not-so-exciting second Bobby "Blue" Bland and B.B. King pairing was recorded in Los Angeles Coconut Grove. There were more show business theatrics and less solid, soulful blues vocalizing than on their acclaimed debut, but there were still enough good moments to make it acceptable.

Thankfully there are a few exceptions to this: "Lay Another Log on the Fire" and "Take Off Your Shoes" are solid tracks where King simply does what he does best, sing the blues and wails on Lucille. While collectors might need this for their collection, they will most likely scoff at the ridiculous arrangements; casual fans can skip this one altogether.

Би Би Кинг был самым приятным человеком, которого я когда-либо встречал в музыкальном бизнесе. Он — сам блюз, а блюз — это и есть Би Би Кинг», — рассказывает Джо Бонамасса. «Он помог мне в начале моей карьеры и его советами я пользуюсь до сих пор.

Indianola Mississippi Seeds is B. B. King's eighteenth studio album. It was released on October 1970 on ABC Records on LP and May 1989 on MCA Records on CD. On this album B. B. King mixed elements of blues and rock music. Producer Bill Szymczyk decided to follow up on the success of the hit "The Thrill Is Gone" by matching King with a musical all-star cast. The result was one of King's most critically acclaimed albums and one of the most highly regarded blues crossover albums of all time.
