1	Riding with the King (2000) more music like this by Eric Clapton & B.B. King add to wishlist The potential for a collaboration between B.B. King and Eric Clapton is enormous, of course, and the real questions concern how it is organized and executed. This first recorded pairing between the 74-year-old King and the 55-year-old Clapton was put together in the most obvious way: Clapton arranged the session using many of his regular musicians ... see all copies from $5.45! new only from $10.48!
2	Best of B.B. King: 20th Century Masters/The Christmas Collection (2003) more music like this by B.B. King add to wishlist This edition in Universal's discount-priced compilation series 20th Century Masters/The Christmas Collection is actually a re-titled reissue of the 2001 collection A Christmas Celebration of Hope. It took B.B. King a long time to get around to his first Christmas album, which didn't appear until about half a century into his recording career. It's ... see all copies from $7.64! new only from $7.64!
3	Pure Blues (2001) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist The "pure" in the Pure series initially suggested the unadulterated, soothing dulcet tones of new age in the Pure Moods discs, but as the series took off, Universal Music realized they had a real marketable brand name here, so they decided to use it for different genres. The one thing that all the collections shared was that they were exceptional ... see all copies from $11.08! new only from $11.08!
4	The Ultimate Collection (2005) more music like this by B.B. King add to wishlist In theory, the idea behind Geffen's 2005 compilation The Ultimate Collection seems sound: gather together 21 iconic tracks from the entirety of B.B. King's long career and present them on one handy disc. While there have been plenty of King comps throughout the years -- some great, some merely passable, but often all very good -- there has never ... see all copies from $6.99! new only from $11.47!
5	His Definitive Greatest Hits (1999) more music like this by B.B. King add to wishlist see all copies from $19.99! new only from $19.99!
6	Blues Masters, Vol. 8: Mississippi Delta Blues (1993) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist The title for this volume is a bit of a misnomer. While there is easily half a compilation's worth of authentic acoustic material here (including classics by Tommy Johnson, Charley Patton, Willie Brown, and Robert Johnson), the inclusion of tracks by B.B. and Albert King and recorded in Chicago sides by Howlin' Wolf, Elmore James and Robert ... see all copies from $8.71! new only from $8.71!
7	Rhythm Country and Blues (1994) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist An interesting collection of duets between country and soul artists, Rhythm Country & Blues works better in theory than in practice, despite a couple of fine tracks. ~ All Music Guide, All Music Guide see all copies from $1.99! new only from $4.23!
8	A Tribute to Curtis Mayfield [Warner Bros.] (1994) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist A fabulous assortment of artists from different areas of the rock genre give a glorifying tribute to Curtis Mayfield in a sparkling 17-song package. Stevie Winwood does a partying rendition of "It's All Right"; a version of "Let's Do It Again" is performed by Mayfield and the Repercussions that mimics the Staple Singers' original; Mayfield does ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
9	Heart to Heart (1994) more music like this by Diane Schuur & B.B. King add to wishlist B.B. King is more than just one of the greatest masters of electric blues guitar; he is also an extraordinarily gifted singer. His talents on his instrument are so great that they tend to eclipse his soulful and sophisticated singing voice, but any who might possibly have doubted his ability will do so no more upon hearing Heart to Heart. On this ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
10	Happy Anniversary, Charlie Brown! (1987) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist The 40th anniversary of the Charlie Brown comic strip is celebrated on this 1987 CD by performances of songs used on the cartoon series (most of which were originally composed by Vince Guaraldi). A variety of artists participated in the project including David Benoit, B.B. King (singing "Joe Cool"), Dave Grusin, Chick Corea ("The Great Pumpkin ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $10.43!
11	Blues Summit (1993) more music like this by B.B. King add to wishlist On this release, King comes close to equaling his past triumphs on small independent labels in the '50s and '60s. He's ditched the psuedo-hip production fodder and cut a 12-song set matching him with blues peers. His duets with Buddy Guy, John Lee Hooker, and Albert Collins are especially worthy, while the songs with Koko Taylor, Ruth Brown, and ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $11.93!
12	Deuces Wild (1997) more music like this by B.B. King add to wishlist This is B.B.'s celebrity duet album, and a straight-ahead blues album this is not. But longtime fans who are aware of King's genre-stretching capabilities will find much to savor here. Kicking off with B.B. playing some beautiful fills and solo work behind Van Morrison on "If You Love Me," the superstars start lining up to jam with the King, with ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $7.46!
13	Blues on the Bayou (1998) more music like this by B.B. King add to wishlist B.B. King made his debut as producer with Blues on the Bayou, released in October 1998. He employs the most basic of ideas for this project: record an album of B.B. King tunes, with B.B. King's regular road band, under B.B. King's supervision. Keeping it loose, relaxed, and focused, King cut this album in four days down at a secluded studio in ... see all copies from $4.95! new only from $10.54!
14	King of the Blues [Box] (1992) more music like this by B.B. King add to wishlist No way can a mere four discs cover every facet of the blues king's amazing recording career, but MCA makes a valiant stab at it. The first two discs, as expected, are immaculate: opening with his Bullet Records debut ("Miss Martha King"), the box continues with a handful of pivotal RPM/Kent masters before digging into his 1960s ABC-Paramount ... see all copies from $11.99! new only from $62.23!
15	Together for the First Time...Live (1974) more music like this by B.B. King & Bobby Bland add to wishlist Although the duo of Bobby Blue Bland and B.B. King was one of the most popular touring acts of the '70s and '80s, their first duet album -- appropriately titled Together for the First Time ... Live -- doesn't quite live up to expectations. Both musicians are in fine form, but rarely do any sparks fly. Occasionally, King turns out a good solo and ... see all copies from $7.65! new only from $7.65!
16	The Best of the Blues [MCA Special Products] (1990) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist Certainly, a single-disc budget-line collection such as MCA Special Products' Best of the Blues can't live up to its title, but those expecting such a disc to be a definitive introduction to such a rich idiom as the blues are simply deluding themselves. Think of the compilation as an affordable sampler of one label's vaults, and you'll be on the ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $5.00!
17	Live in Cook County Jail (1971) more music like this by B.B. King add to wishlist B.B. King has cut a lot of albums since the success of Live at the Regal. And, like the live shows they document, none of them are any less than solid and professional, hallmarks of King's work aesthetic. But every so often B.B. truly catches fire; his playing and singing comes up an extra notch or two, and the result is a live album with some ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $6.65!
18	His Best: The Electric B.B. King (1968) more music like this by B.B. King add to wishlist Although this collection has "Don't Answer the Door," "Paying the Cost to Be the Boss" and a nice live re-cut of "Sweet Sixteen" to highly recommend it, this 1968 issue is hardly King's best, and the "electric" part of the title makes it sound like there's an acoustic B.B. King album lurking around somewhere that you and I somehow missed in the ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $9.55!
19	American Roots Music [Box Set] (2001) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist The successes of the breakthrough soundtrack from the film O Brother Where Art Thou? and the in-depth PBS television series Ken Burns' Jazz seem to have combined in the 2001 production of Palm Pictures' four-part TV series American Roots Music. The series touches on the development of the distinctly American styles of traditional folk, country, ... see all copies from $27.85! new only from $35.32!
20	Reflections (2003) more music like this by B.B. King add to wishlist B.B. King was 77 years old when Reflections was released, which perhaps entitled him to reflect back on the song standards the album contained. Despite advancing age, King had already been unusually busy on the recording front for a septuagenarian, turning out the gold-selling duets album Deuces Wild in 1997, Blues on the Bayou in 1998, Let the ... see all copies from $8.85! new only from $8.85!
21	Spotlight on Lucille (1991) more music like this by B.B. King add to wishlist From the contemporary-looking cover, this would appear to be recently recorded material. But wait -- these are all 1950s/early-'60s instrumentals from the Modern/Kent vaults, spotlighting B.B. King's pristine lead guitar in an often jazzier mode than he usually adopted in the studio. His workout on Louis Jordan's "Just like a Woman" is a tour de ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $8.16!
22	Blues Collection [Madacy Box] (1997) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist see all copies from $1.99! new only from $14.99!
23	Greatest Hits [MCA] (1998) more music like this by B.B. King add to wishlist There's more than one B.B. King best-of out on the racks, but this 1998 issue, Greatest Hits [MCA], updates his chart achievements and puts them together in a modern, 16-track package for both the novice and casual modern blues listener. Kicking off with a pair of tunes from the influential Live at the Regal album ("Sweet Little Angel," "Everyday ... see all copies from $7.61! new only from $11.54!
24	Original Greatest Hits (2005) more music like this by B.B. King add to wishlist As part of the celebration of B.B. King's 80th birthday Virgin released the double-disc set Original Greatest Hits in September of 2005 -- the week B.B. turned 80. Since there have been so many comps of King's long career, all bearing titles similar to Original Greatest Hits, it's easy to assume that this collection is yet another recycling of the ... see all copies from $20.62! new only from $20.62!
25	The Best Blues Album in the World Ever (2000) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist Hardly. What is on this two-disc set is a real hodgepodge of new and old tracks by a variety of artists ranging from soul shouters and blues-rockers to the true originators. Disc one gets off to a sluggish start with tracks from Johnny Winter, the Boneshakers, Colin James, Larry McCray, the Kinsey Report, John Hammond, Duke Robillard, and Terry ... see all copies from $17.81! new only from $17.81!
