King,B.B. Singin The Blues / More B.B.King CD

Digitally remastered two-fer from the Blues great including bonus tracks. 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. These two blues-meets-urban-soul style masterpieces have been packaged together in this very special release, which also includes four bonus tracks from the same period. Contained here is the cream of the crop from B.B. King's hit-making stretch for Crown Records during his most inspired years. Without a doubt, this is the material upon which B.B.'s kingdom was built. Soul Jam Records.
