B.b. King - Any Northern Plays?


Guest

Recommended Posts

Caught up with the BB King TV documentary last night. Got me wondering , has  any BB King track been played over the years.

I know a few of his tunes, quite like what I've heard but I can only , off the top of my head, think of "The Hurt" and I'm not sure if that was spun...any more ?

My tip is the two sider 'help the poor' B/W 'I wouldn't have it any other way' on ABC Paramount. Not the re-recording of 'HTP' on ABC !!!

I play Bad Luck Soul an I Quit My Baby but as R and B dancers, I don't think he ever recorded a record that was more soul than blues did he? I ain't tried the ones above yet.

 

Give "Help the door" a try. A great record. And definitely soul. Straight on my wants list.

Help the poor - what a great track. There is an ABC issue that is an instrumental of htp too, or is that what you mean? Edited by penny

Yeah, maybe. heard it once and was put off by listening to it. It's a later cut (1971), maybe a live/gig recording of some sort with those endless twirling guitar solos. Nothing like this nitty gritty1964 studio recording.

I suppose it was inevitable with his vast output and that Help The Poor 45 is spot on early soul I slightly prefer the I Wouldn't Have It side. The Probe 45 is very good too and I didn't know Poontwangie though that's more R&B of course. No Motown influenced sides though the Probe one is in that area. Better Not Look Down is a great 70s soul style number with a killer line in the middle which I'll let you spot yourselves if you don't know it.

" You better not look down "

 

ref 'Poontwangie'.  I have it, surprisingly, its from 1971, sounds much earlier
