Digitally remastered by Erick Labson at MCA Music Media Studios, North Hollywood, California.

B.B. King has long been known as a road warrior who regularly plays over 300 dates a year. One of his most noted and unusual gigs, LIVE AT COOK COUNTY JAIL, occurred on September 10, 1970. Performing before 2,117 inmates with minimum security, King took his "captive audience" through a set peppered with staples of his impressive canon. Backed by a punchy horn section and peppering the set with his trademark quick licks, King immediately won over the audience. Of course, one of the most enduring facets of a live B.B. King show is the neighborly relationship he quickly establishes with whoever might make up his audience. The nearly 10-minute version of "Worry, Worry, Worry" finds the King Of The Blues discussing relationships and matters of the heart whereas "Sweet Sixteen" and the medley of "3 O'Clock Blues" and "Darlin' You Know I Love You," are a spoken mini-tour of his early catalog. Forming a neat bookend is the inclusion of "The Thrill Is Gone," King's only Top 20 hit that came off COMPLETELY WELL, his studio album of the previous year.

Recorded live on September 10, 1970 at Cook County Jail, Chicago, Illinois. Includes liner notes by Geoffrey Harding.

Personnel: B.B. King (vocals, guitar); Brooker Walker, Barney Hubert (saxophone); John Browning (trumpet); Ron Levy (keyboards, synthesizer); Sonny Freeman (drums).

Recording information: Cook County Jail.

Personnel: B.B. King (vocals, guitar); Booker Walker (alto saxophone); Louis Hubert (tenor saxophone); John Browning (trumpet); Ron Levy (piano); Wilbert Freeman (bass); Sonny Freeman (drums).

Rolling Stone (3/18/71, p.41) - "...The guitar playing on COOK COUNTY is as good as the man ever plays: he is in top form from beginning to end..."

HOODOO MAN BLUES is one of the great albums from the era of classic Chicago blues. Though usually overshadowed by mid-century Chicago legends like Muddy Waters and Howlin' Wolf, Junior Wells ranks among the most dynamic and satisfying performers of the milieu, and his explosive harmonica playing and charismatic vocals come through like gangbusters on this 1965 release. The record has the added distinction of being one of the first long-playing blues albums to hit the scene (blues had largely ...

Additional personnel includes: Steve Wilson (soprano & alto saxophones); Christian McBride (bass); Tony Reedus (drums); Steve Kroon (percussion). Truth, Justice and the Blues was an interesting departure for James Williams. Most of the pianist's albums have been instrumental, but this superb CD finds him featuring two male vocalists (Miles Griffith and Roger Holland) extensively. Truth, Justice and the Blues is essentially an album of acoustic post-bop, although Williams incorporates elements of gospel, blues, and soul. ...
