The Soul Of The King 180gr LP

The BB King Blues Band

Long live the King. Four years since the passing
of the great B.B. King, his towering influence
over the blues world - and beyond - remains
undimmed. From the long-standing fans still held
spellbound by 1965's classic Live At The Regal
album, to the young guitarists adding a shiver of
vibrato to an emotive solo, King's music will
never be forgotten. And this year, the iconic
bluesman's presence is felt stronger than ever, as
his spirit imbues a star-studded new album, The
Soul Of The King. The term 'legend' doesn't do
justice to B.B. King. The eight-decade story of
how a Mississippi cotton-picker rose to the
heights of the blues changing the genre forever
with his soul-drenched voice and 'one-note' touch
is told by his acclaimed studio catalogue and
fabled live shows. Now, as the men who walked
alongside him every step of the way for over 35
years, The B.B. King Blues Band writes the next
chapter, on an album that salutes King's classic
songs and showcases their own. 'It's important,'
nods executive producer Terry Harvey, 'to continue
what he started.' Boasting several world-class
songwriters in their ranks, The Soul Of The King
finds the lineup supplying material that stands
alongside their late leader's catalogue along with
guests that include Joe Louis Walker's soulful
tribute on Regal Blues and Kenny Wayne Shepherd's
masterful solo on opener Irene Irene. Meanwhile,
as King's faithful sidemen, this band of blues
lifers have the great man's music under their
fingernails, and made a bracing return to his
greatest cuts. 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 while
Kenny Neal lends poignant vocals and licks to
Sweet Little Angel. 'Our approach was not to stray
too far from the original, but still to make it
fresh,' says Harvey. 'I want the world to remember
B.B. and to introduce his music to the youth of
today.' 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. 'When
we started this album, we wanted to let the world
know the B.B. King Band is live and well,'
explains Harvey. 'And that we are continuing
B.B.'s musical legacy'
