A Tribute to the King

The word 'legend' can't fully capture B.B. King's greatness. His eight - decade journey from a Mississippi cotton - picker to the pinnacle of the blues, revolutionizing the genre with his soulful voice and unique 'one - note' touch, is chronicled in his acclaimed studio albums and legendary live shows. Now, The B.B. King Blues Band, who walked with him for over 35 years, create a new chapter. Their album salutes King's classic songs and showcases their own. Executive producer Terry Harvey emphasizes the importance of continuing King's legacy. The Soul Of The King features top - notch songwriters in the band. Tracks like the addictive brass - driven shuffle of Low Down, the slow - burning ballad She's The One, the funky Taking Care Of Business, and James 'Boogaloo' Bolden's Hey There Pretty Woman are highlights. Joe Louis Walker adds soul on Regal Blues, and Kenny Wayne Shepherd's solo on opener Irene Irene would surely win King's approval. As Harvey says, this record represents B.B.'s musical styles for those who never saw him live. The album revisits King's greatest hits. Michael Lee gives a heartfelt performance on The Thrill Is Gone. Mary Griffin and Taj Mahal combine their talents on Paying The Cost To Be The Boss. Kenny Neal adds poignancy to Sweet Little Angel. Harvey reflects on the recording experience, highlighting Mary Griffin's excellent and quick performance.
