I picked this album up right before I went home on leave. What a great new album. This is classic sounding B.B. King. I have been listening to the King for a while now and to hear a completely new album from him is awesome. I was just in Memphis on the 27th of September and I was able to stop by his restaurant there on Beale street. I sure was hoping he would just happen to be there but to my dismay he wasn’t there.

Now as far as the album goes I think my favorite track is See That My Grave Is Kept Clean. It has a New Orleans feel to it, a little laid back sound with some organ in the background. There is a slight darkness to it but somehow the song is still lively. How Many More Years has the classic driving blues rhythm typical of a lot of his stuff with some clean guitar riffs that Lucille belts out.

Not sure how much more music we can expect from B.B. but lord I hope to get to see him live one day. I think once I get home from Afghanistan I am going to start looking for a venue where I can see him play. I may have to pay a fairly large sum of money for a ticket but it will be worth it to see a legend in action.

Go ahead and check the album out for yourself, if you aree a blues fan I am sure you will enjoy it.
