The 2012 two-disc anthology
The Blues King's Best
compiles many of legendary guitarist
B.B. King
's recordings. The first disc features studio recordings from 1949 to 1960 and the second disc showcases live recordings from various dates over the years -- some well past 1960. Included are such stellar studio recordings as "B.B. Boogie," "Please Love Me," "Swing Low, Sweet Chariot," "The Thrill Is Gone," "How Blue Can You Get?," and many others. This a solid collection that works well as a thorough overview of
King
's long career.
