By 1967, King had refined his singing and guitar style (which were always intertwined) to a fine point. What was just beginning to emerge during this period was King the showman, the singer with a story to tell his audience; sometimes a sad story, sometimes an angry one, occasionally even a downright mean one. Nowhere was this more apparent than in live performance. Here he's captured in concert in Chicago, home of the blues and the ideal place to testify to the congregation. From "Tired of Your Jive" to "I Know What You're Puttin' Down" to the unequivocal "Baby Get Lost," B.B. lets his audience in on the ups and downs of romance in no uncertain terms, both through his impassioned vocals and characteristically stinging guitar. The effect is both cathartic and awe-inspiring.

Recorded live in Chicago on November 5, 1966. Originally released on Bluesway (6001) in September 1967. Includes original release liner notes by Stanley Dance.

Blues Is King Music Review

Average Rating: (5 out of 5 stars) 5 stars

5 stars BBs Best is good, indeed.
What can I say about this one that hasn't been said? It's regarded by many as his best, vying for that title with "Live at the Regal". It was my first exposure to BB decades ago, and it will never be topped in my book. To top it off, it was on sale at an incredible price.
