Hey guys.
I was wondering if here is a good B.B. King greatest hits album? I've been wanting to get into more blues stuff.
Thanks for any replies!!! 8)

This is a list of his cds. Which one is the "best" is something only you can decide.
I started with nothing - and I've still got most of it left.
Did you know that the word "gullible" is not in any dictionary?

OK I'm a huge BB fan so anything by him I would consider
as good but for the record here a three or my favorites
Blues on the Bayou - Tight arrangements by BB and his
band produced by the man himself. None of the overly lush
string arrangements that you sometimes find on his recordings
Deuces Wild - A set of duets with some great artist. Not a
Greatest Hits package per-say but many of them are here.
Nightlife with Willie Nelson is worth the price alone.
Riding With The King - What can I say? BB King, Eric Clapton
and a title song by John Hiatt. For me that is the ultimate.
Happy Listening
John
The definitive collection is a good start and Live at the Regal is a very good live album from the early 60s.
If you go to BBKing.com there are lots of samples you can try
first - All the albums listed above are great
second - Why a greatest hits, personally i avoid them like the plague, of all the artist i love not one of them has a greatest hits album that does them justice, much better to work your way through their discography, if funds are an issue, and when aren't they?, public libraries are a great resource.
and C - Why only B.B. as great as he is, if getting into the blues is your goal,why limit your sources. There are many threads here listing favorite blues artist/albums, check 'em all out.
