Every bit the equal of yesterday’s feature (Singin’ the Blues), B.B. King’s other flawless album for Crown Records,The Blues, is so qualitatively and stylistically similar to the first they almost make more sense as a pair. As an album, this compiles another twelve bar-raising blasts of blues, with B.B. playing his guitar like he’s firing an electric shotgun. The only thing you can do is take cover in your favorite pair of headphones and hope your top doesn’t get blown clean off.
