Free Music Notes for The Ultimate Collection
Free Music Review: The Best single disc of BB you will find
Hit: 5 Stars
If you are going to own just one CD by the King, this is it. No compilation disc is all encompasing, but this one hits all the highs and well represents the various stages of his career. I particularly like how it is all in chronological order, other compilations could learn from this one. Free Music Review: Terrific Decades Spanning Compilation!!!
Hit: 5 Stars
One of the best compilation CD's that I have ever heard!!! Includes many of B.B.'s early work, without any sugar coating. Includes songs that today might be considered mildly controversial like "Don't Answer the Door" and "Paying the Cost to be the Boss" and classics like "Rock me Baby" all the way through more modern hits like "When Love Comes to Town" with U2. This is a CD that you can play over and over again without getting tired of it.Free Music Review: unbelievable
Hit: 5 Stars
i've never heard music so moving in my entire life, this is the ultimate addition to anyones collection, get it or be lostFree Music Review: The Growth of a Legend
Hit: 5 Stars
This collection of great songs begins with the early hits and moves thru time to the more recent collaborations with U2 and Eric Clapton. You can really hear B.B. King grow as an artist as the album progresses and recording techniques improve. The songs themselves are truly classic : the lyrics to How Blue Can You Get belong in a museum. I especially recommend Paying The Cost To Be The Boss , Never Make A Move Too Soon, and his signature song, The Thrill Is Gone. There is no way that any blues fan cannot enjoy this cdFree Music Review: ****1/2 - the finest introduction yet
Hit: 5 Stars
Finally - a really good single-disc compilation which doesn't exclude King's earliest (and best) material.
Much better than "Greatest Hits" and more affordable than various multi-disc compilations, "The Ultimate Collection" is the place to start for newcomers and curious listeners who want to know what Riley "B.B." King is all about.
"Three O'Clock Blues", "You Upset Me Baby", "Sweet Little Angel"...this is not everything you could ever want from B.B., but it is a very fine place to start.
