Зимой 1949 года Би Би Кинг играл на танцевальной площадке в городе Твист, штат Арканзас. В зале стояла бочка, наполовину наполненная керосином. Её использовали для обогрева помещения во время концертов. ... Зал вспыхнул, началась эвакуация. Оказавшись на улице, Кинг понял, что в зале осталась его любимая гитара, и бросился в огонь. На следующий день Би Би Кинг узнал, что мужчины подрались из-за женщины по имени Люсиль. Так появилось название гитары Люсиль, напоминавшее Би Би Кингу о том, что не следует совершать таких поступков, как драка из-за женщины.

The album includes "Jazz, (Delicious Hot, Disgusting Cold)" which savagely parodied their early "trad" jazz roots and featured some of the most deliberately inept jazz playing ever recorded—the record company only allowed two hours of studio time per track, so it was completed in a single take to allow for the far more complex "The Intro and the Outro" in which every member of the band was introduced and played a solo, starting with genuine band members, before including such improbable members as John Wayne on xylophone, Adolf Hitler on vibes, and J. Arthur Rank on gong. Other 'band members' included Val Doonican, Horace Batchelor and Lord Snooty and His Pals.

The Blues is the second album by blues artist B.B. King, released in 1958 by the Bihari brothers on their budget Crown label. The album collects 12 tracks that King recorded between 1951 and 1958 for Kent and RPM. As common practice with the record label, Crown released The Blues off the strength of the single "When My Heart Beats Like a Hammer", a Top 10 R&B chart single in 1958, to help sell a collection of less-popular songs.
