How to buy B.B. King
Fred Dellar, MOJO, March 1998
HES FILED under Blues. Which is convenient. But Riley Blues Boy King can be anything you want him to be — king of the juke live, a soulman of sorts, a giant of jazz, a guitar hero, even an old-school crooner. Take your pick. B.B.s prolific. And then some. Any attempt to bundle his complete output on CD would probably result in the first crated set.
