BB King – One Kind Favor (CD)

A delight all the way through. BB is allowed to play his guitar, and sing to his heart’s content. And he’s sounding great. I’m thrilled! Classic tunes done BB style – an instant classic – a perfect gift for those you know who “have everything”. This is an album to play when you have the blues, because there’s no way you can keep feeling blue when BB plays them. I’m not going to shout out one tune because there’s not a clunker on the album. Or, I can say that in a more positive way – every tune here is a shoutout! There are many varieties of blues flavors presented here, and the back-up band glorifies each one. BB King
