Bobby and BB are obviously huge stars in their own right.
Incredibly, the sum here is greater than the parts.
Whether they bring out the best in each other, or they are competing for attention or whatever - they both play out of their skins on this disc.
BB finds his old Memphis passion again! In my opinion he can tend to the safe and the bland. But here he cooks.
Its a sweaty soulful, bluesed up affair and a textbook example of club atmosphere crammed onto a recording.

Together for the First Time BB King / Bobby Blue Bland
28 April 2002
Format:Audio CD
One hell of a great Soul album. Every track will knock your lights out a little more than the last one did. Its constantly building up to to the finally and leaves the listener begging pleading,for more.
Luckly, there is a Volume 2 named Together Again and it too will knock your socks off. Both of these albums, totally bring the pure excitment of being at the live show. I have seen both artists on numerous occasions, and these CD's are the next best thing to being there in person.

Great joking between performers, and the Soul is that type of Soul that is dripping with grease, and like Tina Turner says, "Nothin no good without the grease. These CD"s should be sold with moist towletts included. I'm ready anytime for Volume 3. Take the hint BB & Bobby.

blues that make you smile
19 Feb 2000
Format:Audio CD
Much of bb king's stuff is "more of the same" but I can't stop listening to this one. It is a very casual and very inspired recording that is technically very well recorded. Just try not to smile as BB and Bobby try to catch each other in verses with no obvious rhyme. It is equal parts blues, soul, intimate riffs, big groovy horns, house rockin music, and down home storytelling. The interaction of these two artists with each other and with the audience is first class. Definately an overlooked gem.

An Intimate Evening With The King... Mr. B.B. King
19 Mar 2006
Format:Audio CD
If you enjoy the live blues scene, you'll love this piece. You can almost feel the ambiance of a dimly lit, smokey blues club. Poor yourself a mellow bourbon,light up a fine cigar and enoy a laid back evening with the legendary blues of Mr. B.B. King & Bobby Blue Bland. The bond of these two long time friends is obvious in their free-flowing dialog and makes for a comfortable evening of easy listening. This release has been somewhat overlooked throughout the years..... share it with your friends.
