B. B. King

INCLUDES FREE MP3 ALBUM DOWNLOAD Plus 2 BONUS TRACKS

This quintessential release includes one of B.B. King’s finest albums: Singin’ the Blues (1957), originally released by the Crown label at the beginning of King’s career. This blues-meets-urban-soul style masterpiece has been remastered and reissued in this very special collector’s edition, which also includes 2 bonus tracks from the same period. The best thing about all these songs is that they feature King's voice and guitar in their most essential form; upfront, sharp and strong, in a spare blues setting.
