What Are You Listening To?

[quayy]

B.B KING & ERIC CLAPTON "riding with the king" cd,2000.

collaboration of two of "blues rock's" two best known artists and this one doesnt dissapoint(even though im not a bluesy type of guy)
we see the pair of them trading guitar licks and vocals like they have been doing it all their lives...ooops,sorry!, i guess they have!
both are in fine form here and B.B especially shows how good he is at some 70 something years of age,
several covers on here from the 1930s/40s by artists ive never heard of and an interesting cover of soul man Sam & Dave's "hold on,im coming"...
theres something on here for everyone from real slow old time blues through to real raunchy rock & roll blues.
nothing on here i dont like, but at the same time theres nothing i can say i love neither, just an all round good solid album of blues by two of the best in the business!
oh yeh, interesting to note that as youre listening to the album you hear BB and his guitar through one speaker and Eric through the other which gives the impression that these guys are sitting opposite eachother playing/jamming the blues
rating: 2.0
