B.B. King • Blues On Top Of Blues

Review by Richie Unterberger

This isn't his most well-known stuff, but it's a very solid late '60s set. Featuring brassy arrangements by Johnny Pate (who also worked with many prominent Chicago soul acts during the '60s), it presents King's sound at its fullest without sacrificing any of his grit or sophisticated swing. No famous classics here, but the material is very strong throughout.

Revisión por Richie Unterberger

Este no es su material más conocido, pero es un conjunto muy sólido de finales de los sesenta. Con arreglos descarados de Johnny Pate (que también trabajó con muchos de los más destacados actos de soul de Chicago durante los años 60), presenta el sonido de King en su máxima expresión sin sacrificar nada de su entusiasmo o swing sofisticado. No hay clásicos famosos aquí, pero el material es muy fuerte en todo.
