Track 2 from BB King In London

Track Description:
This mix has to be topped and tailed by THE King of the blues. Sometimes his Las Vegas showbiz schtick can be wearing, but the tonal qaulity of his lead playing alone gets him the kingdom as far as I am concerned. This is a somewhat obscure track, really good, not in anyway a cliche. More about the great man at the end! SHOW LESS

Track Description:
One of the three blues Kings who have had a profound influence on me. Freddie was known for his searing, tight lead guitar breaks, but his voice could melt anyone's heart. This is a live version which features him at his finest. A god in my eyes. SHOW LESS

Track Description:
Here is a bit of an oddity. (Like the other tracks aren't!) This is soul/blues/jazz sax man King Curtis doing a version of the Freddie King instrumental 'Hide Away'. It starts off with electric guitar a la Freddie, and then King Curtis cuts in to take the track home. I need more music like this in my life! SHOW LESS

BB, Albert and Freddie may be the three kings of blues, but Earl King cut some great early electric blues sides in New Orleans in the fifties. It sounds like it was recorded in the toliet, yet still I have it on repeat. SHOW LESS

Track Description:
Contemporary British blues is a bit like World democracy, in that it is in fairly short supply right now. One exception to that depressing rule is Mr Lamb and his KING Snakes. Paul is a bloody great harmonica player. There is a guy here in the Central Valley, Cole Fonseca, who reminds me of his full-on steam hammer approach to the instrument. SHOW LESS

Track 7 from Charley Blues Legends Live Volume:3 BB KIng
Length: 00:07:10 Year: 0000 |
|
|
Track Description:
BB King is a live performer, and this live track does show him at his best. In 1979, there was a jazz/blues festival at Alexandra Palace in London. There were two stages at the bottom of a steep hill, and for two days we were treated to BB King, Muddy Waters, Chuck Berry, Dizzy Gillespie, Milt Jackson, Dave Brubeck, Herbie Hancock...It was brilliant. One wonderful memory was of being slightly drunk and pleasantly stoned listening to Stephane Grapelli play Sweet Georgia Brown just as the sun went down. Earlier that day, soon after one of BB King's four sets, I was browsing a blues record stand in the Festival village. A voice behind me asked what new British blues acts were worth listening to. It was Mr King, and to my delight and suprise he bought several of the things I reccomended, and was gracious enough to hang around while I bought every BB King album I could find so that he could sign everyone. Chuck Berry was onstage at the time, so there were not many people hovering around the concessions, it was so cool. We are talking more than a weeks paycheck here for the records, but worth every penny. I saw him play a few times after that, but a month ago Karmen (my wife) and I went to see him play in Bakersfield. He is 82 now, and to be honest, I was not expecting too much, his last recordings have not been great, and 82 is 82 after all. He had to sit the whole show, his fingers could only take a minute or two of lead playing at a time, yet what he did play was magical, like tapping into a source you thought had dried up for good. I got goose bumps. His stories of his early life ("White folks water tasted the same as black folks water, so why was it kept seperate") allowed him time to recover between licks, and showed him to be a man of great dignity. There are not many heroes left in this world but he is one of them! SHOW LESS

Alas, no King Tubby or Carole King (if she qualifies?), but you know I always think your mixes are great. TalKing Heads is a stretch. Great stuff. Awesome cover.
