Summary: BB is the King of Blues
Comment: I have really enjoyed 'One kind Favor' by BB, one of his best, but can't give it 5 stars. While it is very good, it's not as good as 'Blues on the Bayou', my all time favorite CD by BB.

Summary: The best album up to now
Comment: I know all albums of BB King. Bt this new album is by far the best album he ever made.
Customer Rating:
Summary: We should all do so well at 83
Comment: B. B. King isn't breaking new ground here - and that's exactly the point. Instead we are treated to a stellar, uber-traditional performance by one of the titans of 20th century music. The material is all well worn, tried and true, which allows us to focus upon the great strength of this performance.
I hope that when I am 83 years old I can still do some of the things I love to do. B. B. King is living that promise right now.
The voice is deeper and the man older, but all the urgency, anger and tenderness that made him a legend are on full display. Few younger singers could possibly match the decades of living that ooze from every phrase. His guitar playing, never really slick, is earthy and economical and frequently sounds as if T-Bone Burnette fished out some of B. B.'s old Fender tweed amps from the early '50s to nail that old chitlin-circuit sound.
In short, a great album of traditional blues from the twilight years of one of the all-time greats. He is not going out quietly, and that is our good fortune.

Summary: B.B. King does US a favor...
Comment: B.B. King, Jim Keltner, Nathan East and Dr. John dish up a delicious musical stew of great songs delivered with the style that only guys with this much credibility can. Playing exactly what the song asks them to play, always being on the money. If you're a fan, this album is a must. If you're curious, buy this and use it as a start, to trace where the guys on this record come from. You'll quickly realize that you probably own a recording (probably way more than one) with at least one of these guys on it!

Comment: BB Kings latest album is just what long time fans needed. New material and BB's voice like never before. Kind, soulful blues and guitar play. I loved it.
