B.B. Does it via Duets - By: R. Cousins, 25 Apr 2008
B.B. King is very fond of getting together with old friends & this album from 1997 does the business as does his later contribution for his 80th birthday a couple of years back. I was drawn to the album when I first heard on radio his opener with Van Morrison of, "If You Love Me" from Van's Healing Game album, also 1997. I think this is a better version of a lovely smooth orchestral blues with Van singing & B.B. inevitably playing excellent guitar. Tracey Chapman accompanies B.B. for "The Thrill is Gone" where the combined sound is powerful. These openers set the scene for the rest of the album which is very enjoyable & of a high quality throughout.
