#186 B.B. King - Live at the Regal (1965)

Posted over 1 year ago

Live at the Regal captures blues great B.B. King as he treats a wildly enthusiastic audience to some of his biggest hits, and they seem to roar with approval after he delivers every line. This was also a great hidden treasure album for me because it was great to hear him even at this somewhat early stage in his career...

    It's a great album.  To check out his other work, go first to his first hit, "3 O'Clock Blues," from 1953 I think, a recording that revolutionized the blues world.  MOG Radio has it, on the compilation Bill Wyman's Blues Odyssey.  It was a cover of Lowell Fulsom's earlier original version.  The 1950's were King's best years in my opinion, but he continued on a high level long after.
