1. This is indeed a complete disaster - I did order the cd and this is not the track list I wanted - next time I will read the costumers reviews. Amazon, please change the track list to the correct one. -2 rate for the info.



2. It all depends on your perspective. I guess. The one-star reviewer expected something different. I knew exactly what I was getting at a used store and was thrilled to get this collection for five bucks. Look at the twenty tracks listed in that review. It's an incredible cross-section of old blues. The sound is great and this is 63 minutes of music. I'm sure there are a lot of awesome blues anthologies out there, but I love this one.



3. Some years ago I bought the cassette of the program described here(album info and track listing). However, the graphic was not the same; so I assumed they had simply re-designed the packaging. RIP-OFF!!! I got a 20 track CD with nary a whiff of what's available on the original double-album program (per the track listing provided here). What WAS an incredible anthology of Blues, which covered and crossed the birth to the innovations beyond early Chicago years, now shares the same name as a wimpy, scaled down "taste" of the blues. Too bad, too bad...
   Actual track listing is as follows:
   1. St. Louis Blues- Bessie Smith
   2. Dark was the Night- Blind Willie Johnson
   3. Match Box Blues- Blind Lemon Jefferson
   4. Backwater Blues- Bessie Smith
   5. Guitar Rag- Sylvester Weaver
   6. It's Nobody's Fault But Mine- Blind Willie Johnson
   7. Frankie- Mississippi John Hurt
   8.A Handful of Riffs- Lonnie Johnson and Eddie Lang
   9. You Can't Get That Stuff No More- Tampa Red and Georgia Tom
   10. No More Troubles Now- Lonnie Johnson
   11. High Sheriff Blues- Charley Patton
   12. Come On In My Kitchen- Robert Johnson
   13. Baby You Gotta Change Your Mind- Blind Boy Fuller
   14. I'm A Bad Luck Woman- Memphis Minnie
   15. Cross Road Blues- Robert Johnson
   16. Parchman Farm Blues- Bukka White
   17. Roberta- Leadbelly

1. Great blues n' jazz set from B.B. King. His guitar playing is great and vocals are superb. Some of the songs contain a very sublime feel but his guitar and vocal work keeps everything exciting and so does his great backing band. The backing band is excellent espically the horns on the instrumental "Rainbow Riot". The xylophone (or something along those lines) work on "Rainbow Riot" and "Teardrops From Eyes" is very interesting. The saxophone on "Rainbow Riot" is incredible and the trumpet on "Darlin' You Know I Love You" is also excellent. B.B.'s vocals on shine on trakcs such as "Darlin' You Know I Love You." The best guitar is on "Inflation Blues", "Heed My Warning" and "I Can't Let You Go."



2. One word for this cd: Sublime! From the very first note, you know this is going to be a good cd. If you've scrolled down this far into BB KING and are reading this, then you should know that as BB KING fan I recommend this highly. King's got tons of recordings, some good and some not so good. This is one of his better recordings. As a guitarist, we all want to reach what BB reaches when he strikes those strings. We seldom do, but it sure inspiring as heck to listen to him and try. He's Sublime, everybody knows it!



3. I've had this CD since it first came out. BB King recorded the CD after coming in off of a tour. This CD has a strong horn section backing up the vocals. This CD rocks. This is a great BB King CD. I've been a fan for a long time and this CD is highly reccomended and one that you will enjoy listening to over and over again. When something is well done, it doen't get old. This CD stands the test of time. Go buy it.
