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.

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.

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

The King Does Us All A Kind Favo(u)r
Very much the elder statesman of the Blues, 'One Kind Favor' (hate the American spelling of 'Favour'!) is as fine an album as the great BB has ever produced. Read more

Good but not outstanding
It took a couple of listenings to appreciate and lke this album; I don't think it really shows off BB's voice or playing but is still a good (different) addition to my collectoin

A true Legend in his finest form...
In a world of media blandness where the words genius or legend are often over used and subsequently under valued, in this case those words are fully justified. Read more

BB at his best
This is quite possibly BB King at his best in voice, and his use of "lucille". The lyrics are rather deep if you consider BB's age and the song titles, however it somehow evens... Read more

You you are coming to B.B.King fresh possibly not the best CD to start with, but if you love the blues and want something laidback then this comes thoroughly recommended. Read more

Graceful, elegant and wonderful...
The contemporary blues album by the 'old guard' of untouchable blues musicians is, sadly, often a mixed bag. Read more
