Producer: Ed Michel Album Notes Assembeled and remastered at The Village Recorder, Los Angeles by Ed Michel and Baker Bigsby.THE BEST OF B.B. KING is a fine assembly of B.B.'s late '60s-early '70s recordings. With attention divided equally between his soul, "jazz," and blues songs, this nine-track set is a perfect introduction to the mid-career works of the guitarist-singer. From certified blues classics like "The Thrill Is Gone" and "Why I Sing The Blues" to sweet Memphis-style soul numbers like "Ain't Nobody Home," this compilation surveys King's songwriting as well as his interpretive abilities. He turns the Louis Jordan staple "Caldonia" into a Chicago-meets-Basin St. blues jam and his gospel-tinged version of Leon Russell's "Hummingbird"--which features Joe Walsh and Leon himself--further stretches the all-encompassing grasp of the jazz-blues-R&B legend, who is forever titled "The King Of The Blues."

Review: I already had a few greatest hits packages, mostly compilations of B.B.'s late 50s, early 60's catalogue, some of which also featured "Why I Sing the Blues", but they were always live versions and not particularly well recorded. This one has the full 8 min. plus studio version with the fantastic bass guitar playing. Only wish I had started with this one.

Review: Everything was satisfactory. Sound, tone depth, takes me back to 1972 when I first owned it on an LP. Great feeling to listen to it once again, just as pleasing to my ears as it was then, almost 50 years ago...!! Good buy, no disappointments here.
