The starting point for this recording, was that King revisit the music he was playing and which influenced him in the 1950s, the beginning of King's extraordinary professional journey that, literally, changed the texture of modern blues playing.
Blues legend B.B. King has been spending time thinking about "The B.B. King That Was." There is his bricks, mortar and memory project down in a Mississippi blues crossroads, his very own B.B. King Museum, which acknowledges his past. And then, this new CD, 'One Kind Favor', which puts the blues maestro in competition, not with other players, but… himself. "The B.B. King That Was."
The phrase comes from King in conversation with Grammy award-winning producer T. Bone Burnett. They had met to discuss ideas for what became 'One Kind Favor', King's first studio recording in three years. Burnett's suggestion, the starting point for the recording, was that King revisit the music he was playing and which influenced him in the 1950s, the beginning of King's extraordinary professional journey that, literally, changed the texture of modern blues playing.
