Product Description
Album Description
• The eleventh and final volume in Ace Records' acclaimed mid-price series based on B. B. King’s Crown LPs with original, colourful artwork.
• The "Spirituals" was B.B. King’s fourth Crown LP, recorded in 1959 as a dedicated gospel album.
• The song selection literally represents a "greatest hits" package of the time, ranging from classics such as ‘Precious Lord’ and ‘(Swing Low) Sweet Chariot’ to no less than six staples from the repertoire of the highly respected 5 Blind Boys of Mississippi.
• The eight bonus tracks represent a mix of singles that are not currently available on CD, together with previously unissued tracks from the vaults.
• As before, notes and compilation come courtesy of "The Vintage Years" B.B. King box set producer John Broven.
• Now the vast part of B.B. King’s important catalogue for Modern Records is readily available on Ace CD in fabulously re-mastered sound.

a great gospel album
17 Aug 2009
Format:Audio CD
B.B. King "Sings Spirituals" features fantastic retellings of those time-tested gospel tunes. It features those staple spirituals one would expect like 'Ole Time Religion,' 'Sweet Chariot' and 'Army of the Lord.' A surprise is Merle Travis' 'Sixteen Tons.' The album has a fantastically vintage sound. The music has probably aged so well thanks to the modest instrumentation of organ, piano, bass and drums. Naturally, there is handclapping and a chorus. For this one, B.B. never picks up Lucille. You read correctly, this is a B.B. King album without a guitar! Never a commercial gimmick, B.B. King wanted to keep it real as gospel was supposed to have been played in the 1950s. Beyond King's stellar voice, the primary musical instrument is the organ. This suits me fine as one of my favorite elements of King's earlier blues albums has always been his employment of the organ. "Completely Well" is a case in point. While the original release was a brief vinyl record, the eighteen track Ace reissue features good bonus tracks that bring "Sings Spirituals" up to a full-length CD. If the listener enjoys vintage African-American gospel or modern groups like the Blind Boys of Alabama, this album is a home run. This unfortunately seems to fly under the radar for most blues and gospel listeners. Listen to B.B. King "Sings Spirituals" and experience a different side of the Bluesman.
Great voice, Great music

B.B. has always been one of my favorite singers, he pours his heart and soul into singing. This is great old time gospel music, and B.B. nails the singing. THe whole album sounds like he took his Blues band and brought in a few female choir singers to back him up. The only thing is I dont think he plays guitar at all on the album. They have a guy really killing it on the organ. Got to love the old Hammonds.
