B.B. King • Live in Japan

 



Review
by Rovi Staff
Live albums are often disappointing, but that's not the case with Live in Japan. Blues legend B.B. King was at the height of his popularity at the time of this 1971 performance. "The Thrill Is Gone" had been a smash hit the previous year, and his albums Completely Well, Indianola Mississippi Seeds, and Live in Cook County had sold extremely well. This live set was recorded with the same crack band that played on Cook County, and the performance overflows with a palpable exuberance.

Reseña
por el personal de Rovi
Los álbumes en directo suelen ser decepcionantes, pero ese no es el caso de Live in Japan. La leyenda del blues B.B. King estaba en la cima de su popularidad en el momento de esta actuación de 1971. "The Thrill Is Gone" había sido un éxito rotundo el año anterior, y sus álbumes Completely Well, Indianola Mississippi Seeds y Live in Cook County se habían vendido muy bien. Este directo se grabó con la misma banda que tocó en Cook County, y la actuación rebosa una exuberancia palpable.
