One Kind Favor...

The King of the Blues is scheduled to release a new album featuring covers of King’s early influences.

The album, One Kind Favor, was recorded to sound like an album that was produced in the 1950s complete with piano, acoustic bass, drums and more. The outcome is vintage wizardry filled with great music from King’s early days.

Rolling Stone agrees, "This isn't just B.B. King's best album in years, it's one of the strongest studio sets of his career, standing alongside classics such as Singin' the Blues and Lucille. Where those early titles highlighted his youthful, wailing vocals and stinging guitar, this one plays to King's current strengths: the tear-stained vibrato of his mature voice, punctuated by raunchy licks."
