No one can argue that B.B. King is the king of the blues. This is the best album selected by P-VINE founder Yasufumi Higurashi from the vast amount of recordings from the Modern/Kent era from 1950 to 1965, the beginning and peak of King's career!
Since his debut in 1949, B.B. King has always reigned supreme as the king of the blues until his death in 2015. His innovative guitar playing and sophisticated style revolutionized the modern blues, and he was ranked 8th in the latest edition of Rolling Stone's "250 Greatest Guitarists of All Time." His revolutionary guitar playing and sophisticated style revolutionized modern blues, and history has already shown that he had a profound influence on future guitarists such as Clapton and Ray Vaughan. Squeeze guitar that squeezes the blues from the bottom of your soul! Melismatic and majestic vocals! You can't talk about blues without listening to this one-and-only blues world. From the recordings made during B.B.'s peak Modern/Kent period, P-Vine has selected albums acclaimed by the long-established American blues magazine, Living Blues, including The Complete RPM/Kent Recording Box 1950-1965, which won the double award of Critics' Choice and Readers' Choice.
