Our Take

A regal presence in the blues scene, B.B. King's live album "A & R Studios, New York '71" captures the legendary guitarist at the peak of his powers. Recorded in a tiny studio, this release showcases King's unmatched ability to make his guitar sing with soulful emotion. From the moment the first notes of "The Thrill is Gone" fill the air, it's clear that King is in his element. His smooth vocals and effortless guitar playing are a masterclass in the blues. The band behind him provides a solid foundation, with tight rhythms and tasteful accompaniments that never distract from King's spotlight. The standout tracks on this album include the electrifying "Every Day I Have the Blues" and the haunting "How Blue Can You Get?" King's ability to convey raw emotion through his music is truly unparalleled. Each note he plays is filled with decades of experience and a deep understanding of the genre. While the production quality may not be as pristine as modern recordings, the raw energy and passion that King brings to each performance more than make up for it. This album is a must-listen for any fan of the blues or anyone looking to witness a true master at work. Long live the King!
