140 GRAM HIGH QUALITY VIRGIN VINYL

This album presents B.B. King captured in concert in Chicago, home of the blues, in what is considered his definitive live recording.

From "Tired of YourJive" to "I Know What You're Puffin' Down" to the unequivocal "Baby Get Lost," B.B. lets his audience in on the ups and downs of romance in no uncertain terms, both through his impassioned vocals and characteristically stinging guitar.

Blues Is King was recorded at the International Club of Chicago on November 5, 1966. King is flanked by several revered blues sidemen, including Sonny Freeman on drums, Kenneth Sands on trumpet, and Louis Satterfield on bass. But the star of Blues Is King is the leader, who frequently banters with the club audience, and spins musical stories of heartache and rage with his impassioned vocal roar and inimitable blues guitar zeal.
