Music legend B.B. King recently achieved two milestones in his career, first off, his new record the T-Bone Burnett produced One Kind Favor debuted at 37 on the billboard charts, which made it the highest-debuting solo album of his nearly 60-year recording career. Secondly, and perhaps more significantly, the $15 million B.B. King Museum and [...]

When one thinks of B.B. King , it's hard to imagine that there were any blues artists that were around before he was for him to list as influences. B.B. King should be on hundreds of lists AS an influence! I mean, the guy's been making music for literally well over half a century, and he's still going strong. With his latest release, One Kind Favor , King covers twelve songs from other blues ...

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. Highpoints incl...

Got the chance to see the King of Blues last night at the Casino Ballroom in Hampton, NH. 82 years old and still going strong. I'd say he spends about 1/3 of the time talking in between songs, but it didn't get old, he's a funny guy. Nice to see a living legend so down to earth. The man can still play. He has a more than capable backing band that does most the dirty work with BB normally coming...

B.B. King at the Palace Theater, New Haven, CT, February 4, 1990.What a fun show this was...for some reason seeing B.B. seemed like such a big deal at the time. New Haven's then-mayor, John Daniels, was in the audience and B.B. spoke to and referred to him throughout the show. Daniels is the only African-American (so far) to have been mayor of New Haven and B.B. made sure the audience new how i...

so i'm starting to regret leaving my guitars at home and not bringing them to my dorm. playing about once a month when i go home is not enough for me. but then again, if i had them here i would always be violating the quiet code (not that i really care). more importantly though, i wouldn't do any schoolwork. i would just always play music. that i actually do care about, because i need to k...

One Kind Favor B.B. King (Geffen)B.B. King's past few discs have been somewhat disappointing. Now 82, King's status as an American icon has been firmly established for decades. And maybe that's been the problem. Though it seems sacrilegious to say so, for several years it has seemed that King (like Willie Nelson) could just show up for a recording session, plug in and do "The B.B. Thing" (or, i...

How can I justify myself giving a “review” on B.B. King. I can’t, so here are the thoughts that rushed into my head during this incredible show. I’ll be brief. Firstly, B.B. King is 84. Unfortunately, he won’t be playing forever. If you have not seen him and his band play, or are not planning to at some point, you have lost out. On to the show. The first thing that came to mind

On Saturday I officially started my Christmas preparations by buying an Elvis Christmas CD. I had done that 2 years and 3 years ago, but each time I ended up having to use them as a last minute gift for someone I'd forgotten about... this year I got a nice one, ??The Wonderful World of Christmas??, and I prepared for those eventualities and ripped & burned it right away, so I'll have the music ...
