Latest Album Reviews

One of the icons of the blues, B.B. King has come up with another astonishing album “One Kind Favor”. The “King of the Blues”, now aged 76 continues to grace us with his music and the passion he brings to the industry. Light at his feet and heart, his age slips away and stands still when he plays his music. Many expect a man of his age to be lazin’ around and takin’ it easy, yet he is always eager to play, sharing his music to all who wish to music, on the street, sidewalk or where ever he may be, music is his life. Lucille, his trademark Gibson originals came to life in the most bizarre of ways. In 1950 the King was playing in a dance event in Arkansas when a fight broke up and started a fire that almost killed him. As with everybody else, he runs out (who wouldn’t) but finds he left his $30 acoustic guitar inside. His ever so loyal companion for many a years, he rushes back into the building and gets his guitar which he names “Lucille” after the lady who was the subject of the fight that started it all.
