Би Би Кинг был Королем блюза дольше, чем какой-либо монарх правил на нашей планете. Он – мастер игры на гитаре, чья музыка вдохновляла других и уверенно держалась на вершинах музыкальных хит-парадов. Однако, чтобы стать гением своего дела, Би Би Кингу пришлось пройти через многие испытания.

Как и остальные лондонские сессии других блюзменов альбом БиБи в Лондоне очень странный и неровный. Разница в том, что у БиБи альбом не называется The London Sessions, он не на Chess Records, и тут с Кингом играют и классные американцы тоже; это спасает этот альбом.

Universal's double-disc Icon doubles the size of their single-disc set of the same name and covers the same ground only in greater detail, adding a few more live tracks and studio staples to draw a greater picture of his ABC and MCA recordings of the late ‘60s, ‘70s, and beyond. It’s a bit shorter than 2006’s Gold and not quite as rounded, yet it’s still a very good sampler of B.B. King at his latter-day best.

Also in 1955, B.B. King recorded "Every Day I Have the Blues". King attributed the song's appeal to arranger Maxwell Davis: "He [Davis] wrote a chart of 'Every Day I Have the Blues' with a crisp and relaxed sound I'd never heard before. I liked it so well, I made it my theme ... ... The induction statement includes: "Everyday I Have the Blues" is one of the most ubiquitous of all blues songs, a required number in the repertoires of the countless bar and lounge bands of many genres. Its late entry into the Blues Hall of Fame reflects the fact that no strong consensus emerged as to which of the hundreds of recorded versions was most deserving. But it often is associated with B.B. King, and so the first of his own many versions gets the honors.

A wild cross-section of material -- signature items like "Sweet Little Angel" and "Please Accept My Love," an off-the-wall reading of Tony Bennett's "In the Middle of an Island," and best of all, a torrid jazzy instrumental called "String Bean" that finds King pulling some astounding guitar tricks out of a seemingly bottomless bag.
