BB King in general

If you have not heard B.B King live you really must. You don't need to be a blues fan to enjoy B.B King.

With BB it is the simplicity of his playing which goes a long way as opposed to some long monotonous technique driven spiel and the sheer charm of the man on stage is really worth listening to. ...  Read the complete review

bb king is the man when it comes to blues. blues rock. ha that's such an oxymoron, blues rock. anyway, bb king is rockin the charts with his great singing, accompanied by another great blues/guitar marvel, eric clapton. but the greatest blues musician ever would have to be muddy waters. muddy tha man. but muddy dead. it's too bad, cause he was a great character. and he sang great. but now it's time to see the talent of BB King. now blues enthusiests might like bb king and i would understand why if they wouldn't, because in my time here, (15 years) i've realized that the person most famous in their music catagory, never get the recognition ...  Read the complete review
