An eighteen-track mid-price Best Of from the King of the Blues.
A companion to our recent full price "Best Of The Early Years" (CDCHD 1150), this is aimed more at the impulse buyer.
Rather than concentrating purely on hits, this set includes several tracks that the casual listener will know, as they were re-recorded with Eric Clapton for the "Riding With The King" album. In addition, many of these tracks are included in B.B.s live act to this day.
Included are the definitive versions of classics such as Rock Me Baby, Everyday I Have The Blues, Sweet Little Angel, 3 OClock Blues and Sweet Sixteen.
