King, B.b.
The Blues (180 Gr)
'The Blues' was B.B. King's second Crown LP drawn from his RPM singles recorded between 1951-1958. This album traces his
early development into a world class artist. 'The Blues' used a single hit tune (in this case "When My Heart Beats Like
a Hammer," a Top Ten R&B chart entry in 1954) to help sell a package of lesser-known material, but thankfully the label
also picked some great tunes that hardly sound like filler, even if they didn't make the charts. King's songwriting was
already stellar, with "I Want to Get Married," "Don't You Want a Man Like Me," and "Ruby Lee" demonstrating his way with
a melody and a lyrical conceit. 'The Blues' demonstrates he was already near the top of his class. This Dutch LP is
extended with 2 bonus tracks.
