Free Music Review: I Love You Mr. King
Hit: 5 Stars
T Bone Burnett should be enshrined, He is a man of such vision. He wanted a live vibe. Man did they Get That!! Unreal performance. To give 3-4 songs that stand out....*LOL* I cant. If this was "Makin' Love is good for You" or "Blues on the Bayou", sure, I could. Not here. There's just no way. This thing is soooo powerful, your jaw will drop so often upon listening to this. I dont know if Red Bull was regularly given to BB at these sessions. That's not meant in a bad way, on the contrary this man, his "Drive" it's a thing of wonder. This, THIS producer should of worked with John Lee in the early 90's not Roy Rogers or Van Morrison. This amazing as to what He brought out of BB. I'm Really speechless. Dont ponder buying it, dont think, well i'll get it later this winter. No!! Cop this CD today. Do not wait. *HUGE SMILE* This borders on a thing of real wonder people. It's extraordinary. So we Think Gary Moore, Joe Bonamassa, Walter Trout, Chris Duarte, etc... these cats are the leaders of this type of music today? Think again. *SMILE* Amazing CD. : - )Free Music Review: Review

Damn BB, please don't go. I listened to this and got cold chills. BB is singing about death, tiredness, and nearness to death. Then he moves on to relationships that are over, perhaps long over. This recording to me seemed to be more of a farewell than a continuation. I hope not.
His tone sounds different. More the maxed out tube amp with maybe a little compression? The drums were really pumped up also. Almost distractingly so. T-bones work probably. A producer who is a overated in my opinion. Also, the bee sting vibrato was not as prevalent as on other recordings. Yet it is BB King playing his box. He is still the master of the riff. The short, yet sweet stinging blues riff with that trademark vibrato.
Is it worth buying? Of course. Is it his best work? No, Live at the Regal would be what I would recomend if you were not familiar with his sound and style. Yes, it is a style. BB King, just like Freddie King, were the inspiration, if not outright copied, by a lot of musicans. No one has managed get that vibrato down.
Free Music Review: We should all do so well at 83
Hit: 5 Stars
B. B. King isn't breaking new ground here - and that's exactly the point. Instead we are treated to a stellar, uber-traditional performance by one of the titans of 20th century music. The material is all well worn, tried and true, which allows us to focus upon the great strength of this performance.
I hope that when I am 83 years old I can still do some of the things I love to do. B. B. King is living that promise right now.
The voice is deeper and the man older, but all the urgency, anger and tenderness that made him a legend are on full display. Few younger singers could possibly match the decades of living that ooze from every phrase. His guitar playing, never really slick, is earthy and economical and frequently sounds as if T-Bone Burnette fished out some of B. B.'s old Fender tweed amps from the early '50s to nail that old chitlin-circuit sound.
In short, a great album of traditional blues from the twilight years of one of the all-time greats. He is not going out quietly, and that is our good fortune.
Free Music Review: A Love Song Between The King And Lucille
Hit: 5 Stars
First of all, the review that rated this a one-star rating should be taken off. Period! This album by B.B. King is without question his best. I have quite a few of the Kings' recordings and I had honestly felt "Blues on the Bayou" was his greatest acheivement up to this point in his life. B.B. King and Lucille have composed a legacy of a man and his guitar dueting as only two who have such an affection for each other can do. It's an absolutly brilliant piece of artistry, which could only have been done by a true bluesman with a special kind of love for his particular genre. If you truly like the blues, if you admire any of B.B. Kings' and Lucilles' work together throughout all these years, or if you would like to experience an artists' love affair with his instrument and song . . .you owe it to yourself to purchase this album. If you have never owned one of the Kings' albums, this is the one to own and start your collection with. Enjoy.Free Music Review: Nobody plays the blues by B. B. King
Hit: 5 Stars
Nobody sings or plays the blues by B.B. King. My favorite track is "I Get So Weary". I love the fantastic piano playing by Dr. John here. B.B.'s vocals are excellent here. Dr. John accompanies B.B. so well on the track "Tomorrow Night" too. "See That My Grave is Kept Clean" is the other highlight here. It is a song with a good beat. This is an unique and funny title for a song too. "Waiting On Your Call" is a nice cut. The trombone playing by Ira Nepus gives this track a sensual quality that I like. B.B. shines on the track "Midnight Blues". He plays the electric guitar masterfully. The slow bluesy tempo of "Backwater Blues" sounds like a tribute to the city of New Orleans "My Love Is Down" is a song in which B.B. sings about a love gone wrong. "How Many More Years" is a song in which all the musicians play in perfect unison. I really enjoyed listening to this disc.
