B.B. King - Great Blues Works and Hits - Japanese Import LP [ Record ]

The King of Blues, BB King. This best of album was carefully selected by P-Vine founder Yasufumi Higurashi from the vast amount of recordings made during the Modern/Kent period from 1950 to 1965, the early and peak period of his career!

Since his debut in 1949, BB King has always reigned supreme as the king of blues, no, he is an absolute presence that should be called the god of blues. He was selected as the 8th in the latest edition of Rolling Stone magazine's annual best guitar project "250 Greatest Guitarists of All Time". It is already common knowledge that he revolutionized modern blues with his innovative guitar playing and sophisticated style, and had a huge influence on later guitarists such as Clapton and Ray Vaughan. Squeeze guitar that squeezes the blues out from the depths of the soul! Majestic vocals with melisma! You can't talk about blues without listening to this one-of-a-kind blues world = BB. This best album features recordings from BB's heyday, during his Modern/Kent era, and has been selected by Yasufumi Higurashi, the editor of "The Complete RPM/Kent Recording Box 1950-1965," which was named the best album of the long-established American blues magazine Living Blues and won both the critics' and readers' choice awards.
