B.B. King – Live & Well (LP Vinyl)
Product Details
Released in 1969, Live & Well arrived at a pivotal moment when the blues revival was pulling King from the chitlin' circuit into rock arenas and festival stages. The Village Gate sides capture him at his most raw and conversational, the kind of give-and-take with a room that defined his reputation as one of the great live performers in American music.
Limited 180gm vinyl LP pressing in gatefold sleeve. Live And Well was produced by then 26-year-old Bill Szymczyk who later became one of rock music's most successful and prolific producers. The album consists of five live tracks (Side A), recorded at New York's Village Gate, and five studio tracks (Side B). It was the first B.B. King album to enter the Top 100. Thanks to rock Stars like Eric Clapton and Michael Bloomfield, B.B. King's name had become a common one in rock and guitar circles. Consequently, Szymczyk got together a young group of players taking King's music to the next level with a more soulful and rocking approach.
