King of the Blues + My Kind of Blues
2 LPs ON 1 CD
Universally hailed as the reigning King of the Blues, the legendary B.B. King is the most imitated of living blues guitarists. He still projects tremendous presence on the stage, both singing and playing guitar, and his musical influence around the world is incalculable. B.B.’s technique is deceptively complex; featuring delicate filigrees of single string runs punctuated by loud chords, subtle vibratos, and bent notes. Rock guitar technique is to a large degree derived from King's playing.
This quintessential collector’s edition includes two of his finest albums: King of the Blues and My Kind of Blues, both originally released by the Crown label in 1960. These two blues-meets-urban-soul style masterpieces have been packaged together in this very special release, which also includes 6 bonus tracks. Contained here is the cream of the crop from B.B. King’s hitmaking stretch for Crown Records during his most inspired years. Without a doubt, this is the material upon which B.B.’s kingdom was built.
“My Kind of Blues is a masterpiece: a sparse, uncluttered sound with nothing to mask King’s beautiful guitar and voice.” -George Bedard (All Music Guide)
