King Of The Blues + My Kind Of Blues (+5 Bonus Tracks) Reissue edition

Including 16-page booklet with rare photos vintage memorabilia detailed liner notes.. Universally hailed as the reigning King of the Blues, the legendary B.B. King was in his time the most imitated of blues guitarists, and his musical influence around the world is incalculable. B.B.'s technique was deceptively complex; featuring delicate filigrees of single string runs punctuated by loud chords, subtle vibratos, and bent notes. Rock guitar technique is to a large degree derived from King's playing. This quintessential collector's edition includes two of his finest albums: King of the Blues and My Kind of Blues, both originally released by the Crown label in 1960. These two bluesmeets- urban-soul style masterpieces have been packaged together in this very special release, which also includes 5 bonus tracks. Contained here is the cream of the crop from B.B. King's hitmaking stretch for Crown Records during his most inspired years. Without a doubt, this is the material upon which B.B.'s kingdom was built.
