Our Take

B.B. King, the legendary blues guitarist, trades in his usual licks for a different kind of spiritual journey on "B.B. KING Sings Spirituals / Twist With B.B. King". This album sees the King of Blues taking on traditional gospel songs with his signature soulful vocals and masterful guitar skills.

From the opening track "Precious Lord", B.B. King's voice soars with emotion and passion, bringing a new depth to these timeless spirituals. His rendition of "Swing Low, Sweet Chariot" is a toe-tapping, hand-clapping delight that will have you feeling the spirit in no time.

But don't worry, B.B. King hasn't completely abandoned his blues roots. The second half of the album, "Twist With B.B. King", sees him putting a funky twist on classic hits like "Twist and Shout" and "Do the Twist". His guitar shimmers and shakes with a playful energy that is impossible to resist.

Overall, "B.B. KING Sings Spirituals / Twist With B.B. King" is a delightful blend of sacred and secular, showcasing the versatility and talent of this music icon. So grab your dancing shoes and get ready to twist and shout with the King himself. You won't be disappointed.
