Your cart is empty.This 20th Century/Millennium Collection is B.B.'s very 1st midline Best Of, and though it contains his biggest hits, half of it's 10 tracks are not on the frontline Greatest Hits. This includes his #15 R&B hit theme for the Jon Landis film "Into the Night" and his hit single versions of "Guess Who," "Ain't Nobody Home" and "Let the Good Times Roll" (with Bobby Bland). Never fear, his signature, #3 R&B/#15 Pop original hit version of "The Thrill Is Gone" is here in all it's classic glory.

Much of the music I listen to is cerebral. It is difficult to comprehend. And, what's more, listening to it is often exhaustive to the ears, as it is both busy and highly mathematical. Sometimes I need a break in the mix, something a little softer that can tone it down a notch without sounding moronic. These sorts of albums are hard to find, in my opinion, and I am glad to have this one. Sure, I probably won't get as much use out of a B.B. King album as a Pat Metheny album, but there is something self-defeating about always selecting an album that is the absolute hardest to get bored of. That is, sometimes every now and then, I like a bit of pop structures provided that they aren't the moronic stuff commonly pumped out by DJs on the radio and in clubs.As far as popularity goes, B.B. King is popular enough that I have friends that are fans of his music. And, even though I am a musical isolationist, it didn't bother me that B.B. King has enough fans that he can draw a crowd.I generally don't like the blues, but this one surprised me. There were 2 main reasons why I purchased this album. The first is that I have surmised that any good cd collection should contain an entry from B.B. King. The second is that B.B. King has recorded some songs written by my great uncle, my Uncle Vaughn, a country music song writer who made it into the Country Music Hall of Fame, and that interested me in B.B. King. Really, I had no excuse for not having a B.B. King album.Blues chord structures are often too simple or to repetitive to draw my interest, and that is the reason I own so few albums that go in the blues section of record stores. For example, I absolutely detest Stevie Ray Vaughn. This is my first B.B. King album, and I was glad to hear that he didn't fall into the boring same old same old blues combinations. You can tell a same old same old blues fan because such a person thinks that because if it is blues it is good. Definitely, just because something is the blues doesn't automatically make it good, or sophisticated, etc.The songs on this album are crafted, and thoughtful. Some people haven't given it 5 stars, and perhaps these are people that have listened to a few more of B.B. King's albums and think that they could have selected a better mix for a greatest hits album. This is my first B.B. King album, and I love it. There is definitely an element of sophistication to this sound, and as for someone who typically doesn't like the bands that fall under the heading, "Blues," in the music store, this album still had the capacity to blow me away.

This is the best B.B. King CD value for the money. It's a little shallow song-wise and leaves out so many gems form his long, fruitful career, but it's some of his most accessable music. Traces of soul, rock, and '80s pop fall in with the blues on the album's ten tracks, making a good choice for the pop muisc collector or casual fan. More ardent fans will, and should, want more, but it's worth the price for what you get.

If you just want a taste of BBK than this is an excellent place to start for a small amount of bucks, money well spent. Remastering is very good. Jump and shout and get your mojo goin'.
