Universally hailed as the reigning King of the Blues, the legendary B.B. King was in his time the most imitated of blues guitarists, and his musical infuence around the world is incalculable. B.B.'s technique was deceptively complex; featuring delicate fligrees of single string runs punctuated by loud chords, subtle vibratos, and bent notes. Rock guitar technique is to a large degree derived from King's playing.

This quintessential collector's edition includes two of his fnest albums: King of the Blues and My Kind of Blues, both originally released by the Crown label in 1960. These two blues-meets-urban-soul style masterpieces have been packaged together in this incredibly special release, which also includes fve bonus tracks.

Contained here is the cream of the crop from B.B. King's hitmaking stretch for Crown Records during his most inspired years. Without a doubt, this is the material upon which B.B.'s kingdom was built.
