Free Music Notes for Live In Japan
Free Music Review: King at his best
Hit: 5 Stars
This recording has a different feel from Live at the Regal or Live from Cook County Jail. There is much less playing with and talking to the audience. Instead, this one is just powerful, full-steam blues guitar playing all the way through. B. B.'s singing is very soulful here, but he keeps it short and lets the guitar do most of the singing. You won't find better versions of his classic songs anywhere. The jam sessions show a jazz-blues master at work and is something generally not heard these days. Great cd.Free Music Review: Dare I Say.... Better Than Regal?
Hit: 5 Stars
Don't want to sound like an echo, but this album is a real treasure. Not enough banter? I'd rather hear the man play Lucille, & play he does... all over this disc, & than some. He's in absolutely fine form on this night, & there are some obscure gems on this set that will delight the BB King fan. After having this disc for a few months... I ask myself if it isn't more enjoyable than the acclaimed Regal album. This album is THAT good. Highly, highly recommended!!
Free Music Review: Essential Blues Release
Hit: 5 Stars
Even if you own "Live at the Regal", you can't go wrong picking this up. Just as "Miles In Tokyo" benefits from audience reception, so too does "Live In Japan". It really is that good.There's an exhuberance on this recording that can rarely be found in live 'blues' albums. The band is spot-on, the solos are immaculate, and the recording is clear as a whistle. On top of that, it's a double-album worth of material, and none of it is filler.
Free Music Review: leave the cook county CD for some other schmuck
Hit: 5 Stars
Being a blues guitarist from Memphis, I think I have a unique perspective of BB and his legacy. I will make this short. Buy this album, Live At the Regal, and Blues Is King. If you have more than that, you are a die hard fan, and need this CD anyway. It truly is wonderful. BB stretches out, and plays more than any other CD he has done. Truly inspired.Free Music Review: Excellent... The best instrumentals Ive heard
Hit: 5 Stars
This CD is very heavy on guitar from B.B. and it is very good guitar. Many of the songs are great especially the version of Hummingbird which includes some cool jazz horns. I personally like it just as much as Live at Cook County Jail.
