This is not a serious BLUES ALBUM. It is fun to listen to......but I exspected a much more serious SONG SELECTION for these 2 great singers. The "TITLE SONG", is some-what of a joke song. The song "DAY's OF OLD", just doesn't sound like blues. And "I WANNA BE", sounds almost like a rock ANTHEM. The rest is really good, but at 12 songs it's rather short. I would suggest, since BB KING is 82 yrs. old, that these guys get back together and make a serious sounding......DEEP.....blues album ( OLD GRITTY, RAW BLUES SONGS ). BB ain't going to be around forever ( THOUGH HE SINGS LIKE IT ), so hurry up...CLAPTON.

I wrote my comments after I read someone saying Mayall had all these originals. They are covers, and the originals are well worth listening to. At the time this release came out, BLACK artists were not allowed to play on US radio. WHITE STATIONS called ALL BLACK MUSIC-- "RACE MUSIC." I can understand how a young kid in high school would 'really dig' this album. I just wish there was a real effort to make the TRUE ORIGINALS heard, generally for the first time, by so many people who 'loved the blues' for '40+ years,-- back when this "64-ish" record came out into the racist, limited airwaves that were all kids could hear.. Its suprising how Jimi and many others were actually not ALL ORIGINAL, dont get me wrong, I love him TERRIBLE, and SRV, and ... Read More:

I can't believe I'm just now finding out about this super-talented guitar player and his band. This guy is fantastic with ear-catching chops that are also super-melodic. He's got tremendous feel, probably one of the best guitar players I've ever heard.
The whole album is very listener-friendly, energetic yet easy going. It's bluesy and really funky. Great keyboards too. In fact, the singing, the drumming and everything else here is first rate.

Almost exactly seventy years ago, a man who was then known as Robert Johnson passed away. He was poisoned, presumably by a houseman/barkeep whose wife had been flirting with him on an August Evening. Around the same time, a king pin of the then small, homely music industry sent out a middle man to find Johnson, in hopes of striking a record deal. It took until almost a year after Johnson's death for word to get back to the industry that Johnson was, in fact, deceased. This is not a surprise, considering that the spread of news at the time, let alone in poor black Mississippi (or really, where ever he may have taken up residence at the time), was reserved to word of mouth.
Why then, does this fact interest me so much? I don't know. I almost find ... Read More:
