B.B.King,原名RileyB.King。作为一位BLUES王国的主宰,传奇人物 B.B.King 无疑是过去半个多世纪中最重要的电声吉他演奏大师。他一直有着无上的自信,能够从任何抒情诗中挤榨所有微妙的语感;他那独特的小颤音足以将他与后来人远远分开。同时,他亦是一位表现力丰富的超级歌手,善于使用不同的曲调演唱同一句歌词,而且经常变化唱法,颤声、假声或是真假声轮唱。不过,最重要的一点是:B.B.KING一直是位谦逊的superstar,而且永远面带笑容。
King算不上是一位通常意义的吉他高手,他自称只知道几个和弦,而且只能弹单音的独奏,并且没有办法边弹边唱。但是,B.B.King却影响了后代无数的吉他手,最主要的原因是他能将他的感情投入他的演奏,能使他的吉他“唱”起来。即使只有一个音符,King也能用各种方法使它发出特别的音色。对于今天的布鲁斯吉他手,如果不使用推弦技巧,几乎无法演奏。而据说,King是第一个使用推弦技巧的吉他手,其在蓝调界的地位自然无可争议。

B.B.King--Live_At_The_BBC.rar
该专辑的官方英文评论:
This collection spans two decades of the Mississippi blues master's BBC output, from 1978 to 1998. The material is mostly recorded at gigs in London, Glasgow and Croydon, but a pair of live-in-the-studio session tracks are tagged on at the end, numbers which were originally laid down for Andy Kershaw's Radio 1 show. The King sound is eternal, and it's remarkable how little his formula has changed over this time span (and indeed before and after the selected years). The one development is that as age advances, B.B. has decelerated the set's pace, including longer onstage patter between numbers, and even over each song's vamping musical introduction.
The first five tracks are from a 1978 Hammersmith Odeon concert, in London. The slick revue style is already in place, but King's delivery remains gritty, its rawness intact. There's a roughness to his smoothness. It's a winning combination of rugged vocals and guitar meeting tight horn arrangements, and slick organ swirls. The pace on Caldonia is sprightly, punching with saxophone and trumpet solos. Then, King cuts to the exposed soulfulness of I Love To Live The Life, followed by a sudden descent into the coasting ballad softness of Night Life. Often, it's these slower tunes that carry greater weight, and the pace is kept down-and-spacious for The Thrill Is Gone.
Fourteen years on, and the band sound remains much the same, with a lengthy guitar introduction setting the scene for I Gotta Move Out Of This Neighbourhood, quieting down for an exposed B.B. vocal. Many of his songs tend to deal with woes brought on by womankind, even if peppered with some sly self-lacerating humour. The best of these is How Blue Can You Get?. The five tracks from Croydon's Fairfield Hall, in 1998, show how King had increased the verbals by this stage, but the disc closes out with its two concise Kershaw cuts, the band just playing it straight in the BBC's Maida Vale studio. Neither ropey nor exceptional, this collection inhabits the sturdy middle ground between these extremes.
