The Definition of Blues Guitar

There is a reason many people will say Live Blues records are much better than the studio versions, and that is where we have the great B.B. King.

This was the first album I ever owned from B.B., and it is one of my favorite records ever made, easily in my top 10.

One thing B.B. King does better than anyone else during a live s... read more

Albums That Make You Want to Pick Up the Guitar (34 music items)

"We all love B.B. King and I cannot count how many times I've caught myself playing the songs from Live at the Regal during jam sessions and end up going through them. Duane Allman used to play this vinyl and constantly pull it back so he could learn the little riffs and fills from B.B., he did this for hours a day and in return we got that awesome BB King medley he covered. One riff from B.B. is worth a hundred notes, as Buddy Guy has said before, and it's true. B.B. makes you want to expireme"

This was the first album I ever owned from B.B., and it is one of my favorite records ever made, easily in my top 10.

One thing B.B. King does better than anyone else during a live show is the interaction with his audience. He likes to crack jokes, talk to them, and make comments of the songs, that show he is having a good time. From the point of talking to the crowd half way into Worry Worry to crack some jokes.

Every note bend, solo, and B.B.'s trademark backing band are in top notch on this album. The backing band create a rhythm for each song to flow into one another, mu” read more

Live albums that blow the originals away (22 music items)

" Live at the Regal introduced me to BB King. It goes in the category of those "Must Have" albums like Kind of Blue, and Robert Johnson's Complete Recordings, etc... What makes this album so special? This is Blues in it's prime. Everything you ever needed to learn about Blues and how it's performed live is in this recording. Eric Clapton once said he used this album as a primer before coming on stage and performing. This is BB King in his prime of the late 1960's. With Worry Worry, Sweet Little"

RS 500: Part 2 (100 music items)

""By the mid-Sixties, King's career appeared to be winding down, as black audiences began to turn their backs on the blues. But the British blues revival - which saw the Rolling Stones making a pilgrimage to Chicago's Chess Studios - introduced the blues to young, white American rock fans. Live at the Regal, recorded in Chicago in 1964, paved the way for King's appearances on the rock-concert circuit and FM radio. It remains his definitive live set. His guitar sound was precise and powerful, driv"
