{"product_id":"b-b-king-blues-is-king","title":"B.B. King - Blues Is King","description":"\u003cp\u003eBlues Is King captures B.B. King in his natural habitat, a Chicago club in 1966, playing the kind of raw, slow-burning set that made his reputation long before the arena years.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRecorded live at the International Club and released in 1967, the album followed a few years after the celebrated Live at the Regal. Where that record shines with showmanship, this one feels closer and more intimate, the sound of a working bandleader playing to a crowd that knows every lick.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKing introduces his band, then settles into a run of deep, unhurried blues. \"Waitin' On You\" sets the tone with stinging, economical guitar, and \"Gambler's Blues\" is a slow, devastating showcase for his voice, every line given room to land. \"Night Life\", the Willie Nelson song, becomes a weary late-night confession in his hands, while \"Buzz Me\" leans into the jump-blues swing of his roots.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThroughout, the band punches in right on cue, the club atmosphere hangs over every song, and King's guitar speaks in those famous sparse, singing phrases that so many players have borrowed since.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor anyone who loves live blues, it's a vivid document of King at full strength, captured in the kind of room where he always seemed most at home.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67757782794530,"sku":"8435395503331","price":12.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1020\/2080\/8994\/files\/B.B._King-Blues_Is_King.jpg?v=1794291646","url":"https:\/\/soulfulvinyl.com\/products\/b-b-king-blues-is-king","provider":"Soulful Vinyl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
