“I’m honored and privileged to be celebrating my 80th birthday by recording this new album with these great artists. We revisit some of my favorite tunes as well as songs that I love but have never recorded before. I renewed old acquaintances and made several new friends. In my humble opinion, there’s a lot of joy captured on these recordings. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do // B.B. King”.
“Wherever there is a guest artist, B.B. King’s guitar is in the right speaker”.
