Our Take

Ah, B.B. King, the legendary King of the Blues himself, offering up not one, but two iconic albums in one package? It's like Christmas came early for blues fans everywhere.

"King of the Blues" is a masterclass in soulful storytelling, with King's signature gritty vocals and smooth guitar licks transporting listeners to the heart of the Mississippi Delta. Tracks like "Every Day I Have the Blues" and "Woke Up This Morning" showcase King's undeniable talent and passion for the genre.

And as if that wasn't enough, "My Kind of Blues" takes things up a notch with its raw energy and emotion. From the heart-wrenching "Sweet Little Angel" to the toe-tapping "Bad Case of Love," this album is a rollercoaster of blues brilliance.

But the real cherry on top? The five bonus tracks included in this reissue. These rare gems add even more depth and dimension to an already stellar collection, making it a must-have for any true blues aficionado.

So grab your favourite glass of bourbon, dim the lights, and let B.B. King's timeless music wash over you like a warm summer breeze. King of the Blues indeed.
