Editorial Review: Album Description: B.B. King returns to his blues roots with the help of producer T Bone Burnett on "One Kind Favor,". The legendary artist is backed on the effort by pianist Dr. John, drummer Jim Keltner and bassist Nathan East. The track list includes such blues chestnuts as Big Bill Broonzy's "Backwater Blues," Lonnie Johnson's "Tomorrow Night," Blind Lemon Jefferson's "See That My Grave Is Kept Clean" and T-Bone Walker's "I Get So Weary." Average Rating:
 Rating:  - The legend performs to his true statusWhat a wonderful late career tour d'force. So good to hear the King on songs he hasn't recorded before, supported by world beating production from T Bone Burnett and magnificent players like Dr John and Jim Kelter. Nathan East's acoustic bass is a special stand out. This record is just a gem, the warmth of tone, understated playing and love of blues oozes out of every track. If you love the blues, you'll loves this. Buy it, play it, recommend it. Rating: - King Does Us One Kind Favor By Recording This Album83 years old! 83 years old for God's sake, and he's still not only putting out albums, but damn good albums!! BB King's new album is a wonderful experience. He plays covers of classic blues tunes in his own special way, and sounds as fresh as he ever did. I had read that in the studio the aim was to sound like his older 50s recordings, and this was achieved for sure. I still just get constantly amazed when I think of King's age and track record. You think 50 Cent or the friggin' Jonas Brothers ... Read More: Rating:  - As Good as EverAmazing he can still sing this way at his age. Best stuff in years. Rating: - A kind favor from B.B. King As a Blues fan this album is a big favor for me. I like better B.B. King of the old times. But this new cd is something else. Like his early days, B.B. King is focused on creativity in singing as well as playing the guitar. There are those Blues Ballads only B.B. King can make the justice with: "Get These Blues Off Me", "My Love Is Down", "Waiting For Your Call". Some songs are in style B.B. King didn't do so far. "Tommorow Night" , a sweet Ballad B.B. challenges himself it ... Read More: Rating: - Your Majesty, your crown's still lookin' fineMemphis, TN lays claim to two Kings and one still rules with his Queen, Lucille, by his side. BB King hardly sounds like he's over 80 in this collection of blues standards. You've heard this music before and you'll hear it again, but mark my words you will remember these versions of the songs. Other reviewers have said it better. I'm just contributing to this product's star rating, but I will say honestly. You are doing yourself a good dozen kind favors when you buy this CD. ... Read More: |
