Anyone heard BB King's new CD One Kind Favor?

Question

I understand Dr. John plays piano.

Do both sing?

If you've heard the CD how do you rate it?

Any favorite songs?

Answer 1

yea

its amazing i can't choose a favorite

10/10 rating

Answer 2

I only listened to it once all the way through because i just got it, but I didn't notice Dr. John singing.

The CD is fantastic though. My favourite songs would have to be See That My Grave is Kept Clean and Blues Before Sunrise.

Answer 3

This new one is one of BB's best in the past 20 years. The title "One Kind Favor" is part of the lyrics to "See That My Grave Is Kept Clean", a cover of the Blind Lemon Jefferson tune. The album actually is a little bit eerie, with B.B. openly pondering the rest of his life. He's going to turn 83 in less than 2 weeks and, besides touring, is overseeing the opening of the B.B. King Museum and Interpretive Center in Indianola, Mississippi. He want to be remembered and thought of well, and hopes people coming to the museum visit his gravesite, and if it's dirty, please keep it clean.

Dr. John definitely plays and sings some backup on the disc..

I rate it a 9.5 out of 10

My favorite track is the title tune, "See That My Grave Is Kept Clean"

This may win him another Grammy come next year.

Answer 4

Very good CD.  Worth the money.  I seems to be how do I say this, apocalyptic?  I know he has diabetes, and I don't know what kind of health he is in.  5 song titles have to do with death.

Long Live BB.  I have tix for his show in Phoenix this week.
