B.B. King
Comment:
Water seeks its level, so a towering musical giant like B.B. has, naturally, been a magnet for other geniuses, like crooner-king Tony Bennett, who helps B.B. spin the wheel to "Let the Good Times Roll," and fellow blues boss John Lee Hooker, who feels the earth move under his feet when King joins him on "You Shook Me." And that same state of grace from which he's operated since he took Memphis by storm in the late '40s still moves B.B.'s fingers and his soul to this very day; at the age of 83, he's released one of his finest albums — the raw, rowdy return to roots [i]One Kind Favor[/i]; super-producer T-Bone Burnett eggs him on to take a bigger bite out of the blues than ever on killer cuts like "Waiting for Your Call," where Lucille tears at King's heavy-hearted sorrow like a spurned sweetheart ripping a love-letter to pieces.
