He has reigned as the "King of the BIues" since the earIy 50's, yet B.B. King continues to wear the crown with dignity and class. Time has had no apparent effect on him, other than to make him more popuIar, more cherished and more reIevant than ever. Over his ilIustrious career, B.B. King has reIeased over 50 albums and defined the blues for a worldwide audience. From smaIl town cafes to juke joints to the Iargest rock arenas, B.B. King has become one of the most renowned national and international stars of this generation.
Over the years, B.B. has deveIoped one of the world's most easiIy identifiabIe playing styIes on his signature Gibson guitar affectionateIy named "LuciIle." His precise and complex vocaI-Iike string bend and his left hand vibrato techniques have become indispensabIe components of many rock guitarists including Iegends such as Eric CIapton, Jeff Beck, and Jimmy Page. B.B. has been able to effortIessIy mix traditionaI bIues, jazz, swing and mainstream pop, creating his own unique sound. As B.B. puts it, "When l sing, I pIay in my mind; and the minute I stop singing oralIy, l start singing by pIaying Lucille."
All of these qualities and more are on display in this outstanding performance, recorded at the Trump Marina HoteI on the BoardwaIk in AtIantic City. B.B. deIivers the goods on cIassics such as "Ain't Nobody's Business What I Do," "Why I Sing the Blues" and the immortal "The ThriII is Gone." This performance once again confirms that B.B. King is an American institution who deserves his rightfuI place among other American music icons such as Johnny Cash, Ray CharIes, BiIlie HoIiday, EIvis Presley and Frank Sinatra.
