{"product_id":"b-b-king-midnight-believer-cd","title":"B.B. King – Midnight Believer (CD)","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"relix-editorial\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRecorded in 1978 and reissued on CD, Midnight Believer marked a deliberate left turn for King, leaning into the jazz-funk sophistication of the late-seventies rather than chasing the raw club sound that made him a legend. The pairing with Sample made sense beyond mere experimentation; both men came up in Texas, and that shared musical DNA runs quietly through every track.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSix of this album's seven songs were written by Joe Sample, the Texas-born jazz legend. Sample, who plays keyboards on the record, contributes to MIDNIGHT BELIEVER's overall sensibility and eclecticism. The rich production values and careful arrangements make for recordings that are lush and intricate, with less of the trademark grit shown on much of King's earlier stuff. So while this doesn't feel like a traditional blues album, it is unmistakably a B.B. King record. Sample brings with him the rhythm section of his former group, The Crusaders.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003c!-- TRACKLIST_START --\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTracklist\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e1. When It All Comes Down (I'll Still Be Around) (4:11)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e2. Midnight Believer (4:59)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e3. I Just Can't Leave Your Love Alone (4:18)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e4. Hold On (I Feel Our Love Is Changing) (4:10)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e5. Never Make A Move Too Soon (5:29)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e6. A World Full Of Strangers (4:23)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e7. Let Me Make You Cry A Little Longer (5:49)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- TRACKLIST_END --\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 076742701123\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e MCA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9.12.89\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e CD\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Broadtime","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48600447221915,"sku":"521868","price":17.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1041\/7172\/files\/packshot-b-b-king-midnight-believer-cd-relix.jpg?v=1779363155","url":"https:\/\/relix.shop\/products\/b-b-king-midnight-believer-cd","provider":"relix.shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
