This is a great one. I especially like some of his performances in prisons, and some of the ones where he's sitting in with other great guitarists like Robert Cray. You get a sense that he was a very kind man who respected the music and respected other musicians. I was fortunate enough to see him once, at the Fox Theater in Detroit, MI. Such a unique sound he got from his guitar, Lucille. When you hear him play you know it's the one and only B.B. King. Rest in peace Mr. King.
