Product Description
CD Description
B.B. King has won 14 GRAMMY awards and recorded over 150 albums during his 60 year plus career. He is one of the greatest and most respected blues guitarists of all time. One Kind Favor is a mixture of old blues covers from King’s early influences. Produced by Grammy Award winner T-Bone Burnett (O Brother Where Art Thou, Walk The Line, The Big Lebowski), the album recaptures much of the spirit and sound of B.B. King’s early recordings, complete with rich horn-section blasts, vintage-style tube distortion on the vocals and boogie-woogie piano.

THE KING STILL REIGNS SUPREME.,
By P. Clack "pete" (WITNEY, OXFORDSHIRE United Kingdom) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: One Kind Favor (Audio CD)
B.B.King maybe now in his eighties,he may sit down to play these days on stage but I'll tell you what,he's still the king of the blues and that's not just in his name.This album,produced by T Bone Burnette ( who produced the Robert Plant/Alison Krauss multi- award winning album last year)is a collection of blues classics never before recorded by BB.This is a totally wonderful album,and may well go down as one of his best albums ever.He's in top form throughout,with a band that includes Dr. John and Jim Keltner T-Bone has brought a truly classic album out,produced with a classic 50's blues sound,yet with a pure and beautiful sound balance throughout.This is an album no true blues or should I say music fan should miss.Without doubt blues album of the year if not one of the great blues albums of all time.I played this to my son who thinks it's really great that sums it up...a truly great album.

Impeccable,

This review is from: One Kind Favor (Audio CD)
Look folks I was going to buy this out of pure nostalgia anyway - but I have to tell you this is just about as good as it gets - definitely his best ever studio recording. The voice is as good as ever, and no one ever ever could get the same sounds out of a guitar as he gets out of "Lucille". Every track a winner and what a band - featuring the incomparable Dr John on piano. The production is faultless. If you have any affection for the blues you simply have to buy this. Without question a 5 star item.

Solid stuff from BBK,
By
This review is from: One Kind Favor (Audio CD)
I bought this particular cd on the strength of some of the press reviews - which suggested that it was BBk' best for some while.
Its good, and worth having in your collection , if your a fan - but oddly I find it a bit too stripped down and all the tracks are a wee bit samey. It almost sounds like theve found a BPM and worked the whole album around that... 3.5 Stars ........Good - but not great Mind you - for a man in his 80's its pretty sensational. One Kind Favor
