"Great blues n' jazz set from B.B. King. His guitar playing is great and vocals are superb. Some of the songs contain a very sublime feel but his guitar and vocal work keeps everything exciting and so does his great backing band. The backing band is excellent espically the horns on the instrumental "Rainbow Riot". The xylophone (or something along those lines) work on "Rainbow Riot" and "Teardrops From Eyes" is very interesting. The saxophone on "Rainbow Riot" is incredible and the trumpet on "Darlin' You Know I Love You" is also excellent. B.B.'s vocals on shine on trakcs such as "Darlin' You Know I Love You." The best guitar is on "Inflation Blues", "Heed My Warning" and "I Can't Let You Go.""

Sublime

"One word for this cd: Sublime! From the very first note, you know this is going to be a good cd. If you've scrolled down this far into BB KING and are reading this, then you should know that as BB KING fan I recommend this highly. King's got tons of recordings, some good and some not so good. This is one of his better recordings. As a guitarist, we all want to reach what BB reaches when he strikes those strings. We seldom do, but it sure inspiring as heck to listen to him and try. He's Sublime, everybody knows it!"
