B.B. KingKing of the Blues

Seventy-seven tracks across four CDs, chronological from 1949 to 1991. 'Three O'Clock Blues' launched his career. 'The Thrill Is Gone' became his signature with its string-drenched minor-key ache. 'How Blue Can You Get' is a masterclass in call-and-response phrasing. Thirty tracks appear on CD for the first time. Includes a 72-page color booklet with notes from B.B. himself.
