B.B. King - Easy Listening Blues (1962) Reissue 2007

Posted By: Designol

"Easy Listening Blues", from 1962, is an all-instrumental set with B.B.’s guitar, Lucille, well to the fore. An essential set for the many admirers of B.B. King and his all-conquering blues guitar style.

"Easy Listening Blues" is a bit of an oxymoron, especially in the hands of B.B. King, who might be smooth and urbane in some respects, but who's rarely recorded music that could be categorized as easy listening. That's the title that Crown used, however, for this all-instrumental 1962 collection. Just prior to leaving Modern for ABC, King did a lot of recording that Modern milked for sides to put out after he'd left the company, and the liner notes to the Ace CD reissue of the album speculate that these tracks were laid down in late 1961 as part of this process. Since a big part of the pleasure of listening to B.B. King is hearing his voice, and hearing the songs he wrote and interpreted, an all-instrumental album – no matter how competently done – is almost bound to sound like something's missing. And although this is a competent record, it's got to rank as one of his less essential efforts, the ten numbers often sounding like warm-up tunes or background generic blues club filler, hastily ground out to meet a quota. That doesn't mean that it's worthless – the tunes are pleasant if unimaginative, and King plays with his usual authority, making occasional nods toward the rock & roll twist craze in cuts like "Night Long" and "Hully Gully Twist" (aka "Hully Gully").

Review by Richie Unterberger, Allmusic.com

I'm so happy! I originally heard this on vinyl 15 years ago - a friend found it in someone's collection and got it for free, I've dreamt of the day when I can own this - copies on tape with the vinyl hiss just don't cut it but the music on here is sensational, There's plenty of opportunity to pull your blues face at the perfect high notes on Lucille, It's a pure instrumental album with no singing at all and for me makes it so much better. Some of the tracks are what I'd call big band blues but they all fit nicely together with no weak tracks.Track 6, Slow Walk Aka Slow Burn has the coolest start to any blues track I've ever heard. If you're into the blues then this is for you. Pure class…….
