“Singin’ the Blues is a veritable greatest hits, proving thateven in 1957, B.B. King was already in a league of his own.”– Living Blues magazineThis essential LP release includes B.B. King’s splendid album, Singin’the Blues, which was originally issued in 1957 and marked his firstLP on the Crown label (a subsidiary of the Bihari brothers’ ModernRecords). It’s a superb collection of King’s early hits, originally releasedon the RPM label between 1952 and 1956. In five short years, B.B. Kinghad matured from an artist looking for a style to the premier bluesmanof his generation. His modern style that crossed rock & roll and R&Bwith the jump blues is fully developed here, and his consistency fromtrack to track is remarkable. This is the material upon which B.B.’skingdom was built.In addition to the original LP, this collector’s edition includes 4 bonustracks from the same period: “Ruby Lee,” the heart-felt blues ballad“Lonely and Blue,” and the joyful “Jump with You, Baby” and “Yes,Indeed!”
