BB King-One Kind Favor ---2008
BB Kings new album is a winner.He has stepped out of his
formula made standard albums and has given us something fresh.
Not easy to do at 82.With the help of popular producer T.Bone Burnett
(who recently did the Robert Plant and Allison Krause album "Raising Sand)
has created a sound board of tunes that reflects BB's mortality,his
passion for the blues and not one song has he done before,which is
usually the case for BB.
It has a New Orleans flare as well,that is because
of Dr.Johns Playing through out, along with drummer Jim Keltner and bassist
Nathan East.The production has somewhat of a modern sound that's
inherit to T.B.Burnett's sound,but the playing is traditional in every sense of the word.
If you have any interest in the Blues,New Orleans Jazz or R&B
I recommend this one highly.
I would like to thank Sir Hirs.Ute for initially posting about this album,
and turning me on to it....
