The Soul Of… B.B. King

Description

More Info

The original, rarely heard LP, titled simply “B.B. King” when it appeared around October 1963, was the twelfth and last of B. B.’s albums to be issued on Crown. For later LP reissues it was renamed The Soul Of B.B. King, a title that reflected the spirit of the age (and was less confusing for record buyers). Lest there be any doubt, let it be said straight away that this is a blues album from start to finish, with not a soul tune or a ballad to be heard. B.B. brings his usual level of intensity to every performance, singing and playing as if this take might be the one to give him his next hit. You might say that’s the real soul of B.B. King.
