Product Details

On September 10, 1970, B.B. King walked into Cook County Jail and played one of the most consequential sets of his career, for an audience that had nowhere else to be and every reason to feel the blues. The rawness of that context pulled something extra from King and his band, a looseness and emotional directness that even his polished studio work rarely matched.


Limited 180 gram vinyl LP repressing of the classic B.B. King live album. Live In Cook County Jail. Recorded in Chicago's Cook County Jail on a hot fall day in 1970 and released the following year, the recording of this historic event was named #499 on Rolling Stone's list of the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time, hitting #1 on the Billboard R&B charts, #3 on the Jazz charts and #25 on the Top 200. One of several live albums King released, it features a selection of his best-known songs. Includes "How Blue Can You Get?", "Please Accept My Love" and his signature classics "The Thrill Is Gone" and "Every Day I Have The Blues".
