Title: A Excellent First Impression Made from a Genre I Usually Don't Like
Review: Much of the music I listen to is cerebral. It is difficult to comprehend. And, what's more, listening to it is often exhaustive to the ears, as it is both busy and highly mathematical. Sometimes I need a break in the mix, something a little softer that can tone it down a notch without sounding moronic. These sorts of albums are hard to find, in my opinion, and I am glad to have this one. Sure, I probably won't get as much use out of a B.B. King album as a Pat Metheny album, but there is something self-defeating about always selecting an album that is the absolute hardest to get bored of. That is, sometimes every now and then, I like a bit of pop structures provided that they aren't the moronic stuff commonly pumped out by DJs on the radio and in clubs.As far as popularity goes, B.B. King is popular enough that I have friends that are fans of his music. And, even though I am a musical isolationist, it didn't bother me that B.B. King has enough fans that he can draw a crowd.I generally don't like the blues, but this one surprised me. There were 2 main reasons why I purchased this album. The first is that I have surmised that any good cd collection should contain an entry from B.B. King. The second is that B.B. King has recorded some songs written by my great uncle, my Uncle Vaughn, a country music song writer who made it into the Country Music Hall of Fame, and that interested me in B.B. King. Really, I had no excuse for not having a B.B. King album.Blues chord structures are often too simple or to repetitive to draw my interest, and that is the reason I own so few albums that go in the blues section of record stores. For example, I absolutely detest Stevie Ray Vaughn. This is my first B.B. King album, and I was glad to hear that he didn't fall into the boring same old same old blues combinations. You can tell a same old same old blues fan because such a person thinks that because if it is blues it is good. Definitely, just because something is the blues doesn't automatically make it good, or sophisticated, etc.The songs on this album are crafted, and thoughtful. Some people haven't given it 5 stars, and perhaps these are people that have listened to a few more of B.B. King's albums and think that they could have selected a better mix for a greatest hits album. This is my first B.B. King album, and I love it. There is definitely an element of sophistication to this sound, and as for someone who typically doesn't like the bands that fall under the heading, "Blues," in the music store, this album still had the capacity to blow me away.

Title: The Thrill Is Gone
Review: I have a lot of the 20th Century Master's Series. They vary from poor collections to superb collections. This one is four stars. If you have no BB albums this is a good one to get. Better and more expensive collections available.

Title: very good collection of B.B. King's music; excellent recording quality
Review: This is an outstanding collection of B.B. King songs. The recording quality is excellent. The live recording of Sweet Sixteen from the mid-60's sounds like it was just recorded yesterday. If you are a B.B. King fan, this CD will not disappoint. And if you don't own any of his music, this is a great introduction to the King of the Blues. Ten songs no where near represents the totality of his work, but the ones selected for this collection are all great listening.

Title: You won't be dissapointed.
Review: I enjoyed this cd. It's difficult to just sit down and listen. This music makes you want to move. It would be like being in a nightclub. Listening to this cd, you just want to move. It's really good. I like all the cuts on this cd. It makes you want to move. It's hard to sit down on this. It's all good, all the cuts. BB King is missed, and, I'm apart of a generation that miss him.
