Amazon.co.uk Albums consisting entirely of one artist paying tribute to another are commonplace, especially in the blues world where a particular artist's musical heritage is easy to trace. It's rare, though, for an artist of B.B. King's calibre to do such a tribute and we're all lucky that the artist he chose to honour is Louis Jordan-- the King of the Blues saluting the King of Swing. King's clean, expressive guitar style and rough-hewn voice are so distinctive that there's no mistaking them for anyone else's and hearing them applied to Jordan's classic songs-- including "Ain't Nobody Here but Us Chickens", "Somebody Done Changed the Lock on My Door", "Saturday Night Fish Fry" and "Nobody Knows You When You're Down and Out"-- demonstrates both King's considerable skill and the great versatility of Jordan's song writing. That makes this record more than a mere curiosity, as does the stellar piano work from another living legend, Dr. John. -- Genevieve Williams Product description CD: B.B.
