AMG Review of Favorites

Steve Leggett
All Music Guide

Another in Geffen's digital download series, this volume, called Favorites, collects some of the key tracks in B.B. King's sizeable portfolio, including his signature "The Thrill Is Gone," "Every Day I Have the Blues," and "When Love Comes to Town," among others, most of which feature plenty of his trademark sharp and brittle guitar runs and his surprisingly flexible voice, making this a nice glimpse at this iconic blues player and singer.
