The fifty-fourth album: #54 BB King - Live at the Regal
BB King is one of those names that I have heard plenty before, but where I would have trouble identifying any songs. Listening to it, his blues sounds good. There's a certain assuredness to his voice that I don't think I've heard in other singers, not going as loud or for other tricks, but instead keeping it grounded and pleasant. I'm happy to just go along with it, which is where it sounds that good.
The songs for the live album are well chosen, showing off the guitar performance as well as his vocal skills. It doesn't fade into the background as the jazz albums do, but it doesn't go too loud and agressive either. It's a smooth, nice album throughout.
