Description

Ranked No. 8 on Rolling Stone magazine’s list of the 250 Greatest Guitarists of All Time—the highest position for a blues guitarist—B.B. King stands as a true legend of the genre. Inspired by his idol T-Bone Walker, B.B. inherited Walker’s style and elevated it to an entirely new level. By pioneering the expressive “squeeze guitar” technique characterized by his signature string-bending, he created a fluid, innovative sound that profoundly influenced generations of guitarists to come—so much so that it’s no exaggeration to say he changed the way the guitar was played forever.

This special compilation, focusing on B.B.’s groundbreaking guitar work, has been curated by one of Japan’s foremost bluesmen, Mitsuyoshi Azuma of The Swinging Boppers, who has even shared the stage with B.B. King himself.

Enjoy the full brilliance of B.B.’s aggressive yet sophisticated guitar style to your heart’s content.
