Comment:

Like his hero, Lonnie Johnson, B.B. King can play with [i]anyone[/i], making the good sound great and the great sound [i]astonishing[/i]. When a velvet-voiced pop master dipping his Great American Songbook-steeped toe into the blues meets up with the burlap-throated ex-sharecropper who’s hauled his blues from the fields to the supper club, the two Grand Old Men [i]put it down[/i] and “Let The Good Times Roll” on Tony Bennett’s [i]Playin' With My Friends: Bennett Sings the Blues[/i]. When B.B. meets Bono, he dispenses some old-soul praise, telling the Irishman, “You’re pretty young to write such heavy lyrics." But the ocean of time and space between the two disappears when U2 joins in for the hoochie-coochie stomp of “When Love Comes To Town” in [i]Rattle and Hum[/i]. And what happens when King and god join forces? In “Riding With the King,” B.B. and Eric Clapton set their cruise control for Cadillac convertible comfort, smooth as barrel-aged bourbon at a back-porch barbecue, trading vocals and licks like the decades-old friends that they are. From George Jones to the Rolling Stones, from John Mayer to Ray Charles, your favorite artists boost their A-game to a whole other level when they plug in with the King.
