Description:

Long live the King. Four years since the passing of the great B.B. King, his towering influence over the blues world â?? and beyond â?? remains undimmed. From the long-standing fans still held spellbound by 1965â??s classic Live At The Regal album, to the young guitarists adding a shiver of vibrato to an emotive solo, Kingâ??s music will never be forgotten. And this year, the iconic bluesmanâ??s presence is felt stronger than ever, as his spirit imbues a star-studded new album, The Soul Of The King. With: Kenny Wayne Shepherd, Kenny Neal, Joe Louis Walker, Michael Lee. Mary Griffin and Taj Mahal and many more. - FT. TAJ MAHAL, JOE LOUIS WALKER, KENNY WAYNE SHEPHERD

2019 release. They might have an illustrious history, but The Soul Of The King reminds us that The B.B. King Blues Band are a lineup moving forward, writing a love-letter to their fallen leader while staking their own claim in the modern era. Choosing songs from King's sprawling catalog could have been an ordeal. But for The Soul Of The King, the lineup made a smart move, letting the A-list guests dictate the material. There's a heartfelt turn from Michael Lee on 'The Thrill Is Gone'. Mary Griffin and Taj Mahal combine their vocal and guitar talents on 'Paying The Cost To Be The Boss'. Kenny Neal lends poignant vocals and licks to 'Sweet Little Angel'.
