AVID Roots continues with its Four Classic Blues album series with a re-mastered 2CD release by B.B.King complete with original artwork and liner notes.
“Singin’ The Blues”; “B.B.King Wails”; “The Blues” and “and “My Kind Of Blues”
To most of us music fans living in the 21st century, B.B.King was the “real thing”, the epitome of the “Blues Man”, a genuine living legend! Here was a guy who had actually lived the classic blues story. He was born Riley B. King into poverty on a cotton plantation in Mississippi, the son of sharecroppers. A broken family was followed by being raised by his maternal grandmother and he was singing gospel in the local church from a very young age. Legend has it that he was given his fist guitar at age 12 by a relative named Bukka White! Following White to Memphis in 1946 he stayed with the great blues man until returning home 10 months later. By 1948 he was singing and DJ’ing on local radio station WDIA and when he met T Bone Walker he made the decision to get himself an electric guitar. The rest as they say is a legendary blues history and the early results can be heard on our four classic selections.
