CD Reviews

My, my, my. B.B. and Lucy at their blueist

02/19/2001

(5 out of 5 stars)

"All of his truely blueist and best. With exellent back up from some very talented famous friends. It don't get no mo blue than this! I get chills when I listen to Chains & Things. Although this double disk set was professionally remastered and compiled, nothing can beat B.B.'s live in concert recordings. You can "feel" his signature flawless execution and his guitar "Lucy" resonates and drips with pain and the blues. Check out B.B. King live at San Quinten prision."

Quite good post sixties collection
