B.B. King - Blues Is King (RSD 2023, Vinyl LP)

This is the first American official LP reissue of this classic album in more than 40 years. Here, King is captured in concert in Chicago, home of the blues and the ideal place to testify to the congregation. From ‘Tired of Your Jive’ to ‘I Know What You’re Puttin’ Down’ to the unequivocal ‘Baby Get Lost,’ B.B. lets his audience in on the ups and downs of romance in no uncertain terms, both through his impassioned vocals and characteristically stinging guitar.
