Album Notes
Work on this album began in 2015 – 50 years after the original was released - For many guitar players, this album is one of the Holy Grails of music - This live recording showcased B.B’s style, passion and energy that came through with every gig – as a player and a singer.
The Regal’s Hammond organ fell into disrepair the previous night, and it couldn’t be repaired or replaced in time for B.B.’s show - B.B.’s organ player – Duke Jethro - was relegated to playing piano on this gig - Duke - while being an excellent musician – wasn’t a piano player, he was thrust into the piano role - As Duke said to B.B - – “but I don’t play piano” to which B.B - replied “Do what you always do – pretend.”
Duke stopped playing around 1970 and threw himself fulltime into his engineering career - Many people during that time had no idea of his “previous life” as a touring musician with one of the best blues acts in the country - Then around 1991, he met John DeFrancesco and became interested in playing again - The two played some gigs together and Duke continued to play through 2005 - Then – another ten-year break....
In 2015, John DeFrancesco, who is a great blues guitar player and singer in his own right, was in Oakland, CA, for a Hammond organ event and he ran into Duke - The passing of B.B - and the 50th anniversary of the Regal recording resonated with John and he convinced Duke that they should record a tribute album to honor B.B - and that now famous Regal recording - And Johnny said "This time the organ will be in tip-top shape!
The ten tracks are presented in the same order as the original recording - This time, the listener gets to hear the addition of the Hammond B-3 that was noticeably missing on the original - This offering is not meant to “compete” with the original; it was produced out of respect for the music, the band and its world famous leader – B.B - King.

Notas del álbum
El trabajo en este álbum comenzó en 2015, 50 años después del lanzamiento del original - Para muchos guitarristas, este álbum es uno de los Santos Griales de la música - Esta grabación en vivo mostró el estilo, la pasión y la energía de B.B - en cada concierto, como intérprete y como cantante.
El órgano de Hammond de Regal cayó en mal estado la noche anterior, y no pudo ser reparado o reemplazado a tiempo para el show de B.B - El organista de B.B., Duke Jethro, fue relegado a tocar el piano en este concierto - Duke -aunque era un músico excelente- no tocaba el piano, sino que fue empujado a interpretar el papel de piano - Como dijo Duke a B.B - - "pero yo no toco el piano" a lo que B.B - respondió "Haz lo que siempre haces - finge".
Duke dejó de jugar alrededor de 1970 y se dedicó a tiempo completo a su carrera de ingeniero - Mucha gente durante ese tiempo no tenía idea de su "vida anterior" como músico de gira con uno de los mejores grupos de blues del país - Hacia 1991, conoció a John DeFrancesco y se interesó por volver a jugar - Los dos tocaron juntos y Duke continuó tocando hasta el 2005 - Luego - otra pausa de diez años.....
En 2015, John DeFrancesco, que es un gran guitarrista y cantante de blues por derecho propio, estuvo en Oakland, CA, para un evento de órgano de Hammond y se encontró con Duke - El paso de B.B - y el 50 aniversario de la grabación Regal resonaron con John y él convenció a Duke de que debían grabar un álbum tributo para honrar a B.B - y que ahora es famosa la grabación Regal - Johnny dijo: "¡Esta vez el órgano estará en plena forma!
Las diez pistas se presentan en el mismo orden que la grabación original - Esta vez, el oyente puede escuchar la adición del Hammond B-3 que estaba notablemente ausente en el original - Esta ofrenda no pretende "competir" con el original, sino que fue producida por respeto a la música, a la banda y a su líder mundialmente famoso, B.B - King.
