Product Details

Recorded live at the Club Baron in Chicago in 1966, "Blues Is King" catches B.B. King at a pivotal moment, deep in his Chess Records-adjacent prime and performing for the kind of knowing, demanding audience that would accept nothing less than everything he had. Lucille sings here the way she only does in front of a crowd.

This is the first American official LP reissue of this classic album in more than 40 years. Here, King is captured in concert in Chicago, home of the blues and the ideal place to testify to the congregation. From ‘Tired of Your Jive’ to ‘I Know What You’re Puttin’ Down’ to the unequivocal ‘Baby Get Lost,’ B.B. lets his audience in on the ups and downs of romance in no uncertain terms, both through his impassioned vocals and characteristically stinging guitar.
