Producer: Ed Michel Album Notes Assembled and remastered at The Village Recorder, Los Angeles by Ed Michel and Baker Bigsby.THE BEST OF BB KING is a fine assembly of BB's late '60s-early '70s recordings. With attention divided equally between his soul, "jazz," and blues songs, this nine-track set is a perfect introduction to the mid-career works of the guitarist-singer. From certified blues classics like "The Thrill Is Gone" and "Why I Sing The Blues" to sweet Memphis-style soul numbers like "Ain't Nobody Home," this compilation surveys King's songwriting as well as his interpretive abilities. He turns the Louis Jordan staple "Caldonia" into a Chicago-meets-Basin St. blues jam and his gospel-tinged version of Leon Russell's "Hummingbird"--which features Joe Walsh and Leon himself--further stretches the all-encompassing grasp of the jazz-blues-R&B legend, who is forever titled "The King Of The Blues."
