Had the vinyl, got the CD, sent another as a gift. With all due respect to BB's other bands, on this album he finally has top-rate musicians in a top-rate studio. Great song selection, arrangements and variety. BB never sang better! One of my most listened to cds--wife lives it too!

Quel rapport entre "bb king in london", " the london muddy waters sessions", 'the london howlin'wolf sessions" et "jerry lee lewis the session"? Les musiciens anglais fans des ces 4 grands de la musique rock & blues des années 50...! Ces maîtres de musique qui ont l'habitude de jouer avec leurs musiciens , se voient accompagner par la crème des musiciens anglais qui mettent leur talent à leur disposition.....et ce n'est que justice ,car sans ses maîtres ,les petits anglais ne seraient pas au top ! Donc cet album de bb king est un pur joyau méconnu ,et qui aurait mérité plus de "pub" à l'époque de sa sortie!

Uno de los discos míticos del gran b.b.king. Y con la colaboración, entre otros, del batería de los Beatles Ringo Starr

We own the original record version of this recording of BB's. It represents a certain quality that few performers have and sets a mood that no one can deny. This is a MUST HAVE for every collection.

The album is frequently panned in those voluminous tomes that are on the market wherein albums are rated by those who fancy themselves critics. The truth is that this is one of B.B.'s best recordings.It was recorded in London in 1971 over a 7 day period and anyone who was anyone was there to record a cut with B.B. The album features appearances by Gary Wright, Klaus Voorman, Ringo Starr, Jim Gordon, Bobby Keys, Jim Keltner, John Uribe, Alexis Korner and Dr. Ragovy to name a few.The recordings have a fresh and lively sense about them that is remenicient of a jam, yet with such talent, they make better musical sense than most planned arrangements.The album contains what I believe is the best recording B.B. ever made of the classic swing-blues tune "Caledonia."Another treat is a rare accoustical duet that B.B. plays with Alexis Korner, who also wrote "Alexis' Boogie." The number really showcases B.B.'s excellent sense for playing call and response riffs. The album is worth the price for this track alone.I own a many albums by the "King of the Blues", but this is the one that I value the most for it's honesty and the sheer joy one hears in each performance.It is a recording of great musicians having a lot of fun- don't miss out on it.
