King's first popularity peak, the set features performances of his most enduring songs including "Every Day I Have the Blues," "Sweet Sixteen," "The Thrill Is Gone" and more. 20-bit digital remastering and enhanced packaging at a great low price.

One of the greatest concert recordings of all time. How could it be less, with B.B. King performing some of his best material before a literally captive audience in an Illinois prison? "Worry, Worry" and "How Blue Can You Get" take on deeper meanings here, although King works the latter's camp lyrics as if he were in a juke joint. His mix of down-home humility and commanding stagecraft is instantly appealing. And his guitar barks, sings, and squeals with such authority that this is a bravura performance from the first bent, soul-searing note. A true desert-island disc. --Ted Drozdowski

There is a very unique feature to this album which many listeners over look. Many who listen to this album are keying in on the artist, the music selected, and the quality of its execution. Only some are paying attention to the communication between King, and his audience. Prison inmates have very little to look forward to, much less appreciate in their untimely incarceration. To have the opportunity to listen to B.B. King with their wives with them is a treat to say the least. On the other hand, it is also a treat for King to entertain the very people who have admired him for years, but could never see him, especially while they are in prison. Such is the recipe for a perfect blues concert; a responsive audience, and a sensitive performer.The beauty of this album is not so much the music, but the dialogue between King and the inmates. Through his voice, and lucille, he is speaking to the inmates, empathisizing with them, and giving them an experience to remember when they go back to their cells.To their credit, the inmates are genuinely responsive to the music, and in return, the music is responsive to them. This is the perfect environment for a classic blues presentation. Listen for the sincerity in King when he speaks to his audience. Listen for the soft and floating blues rifts from lucille. Listen not for what you would expect from a studio cut album, or a live show in an uptown night club; Listen for the emotion expressed for those who have longed for this show, and will remember it for along time to come. It is for them that King came to do the show, not to cut one more album for us to listen to. In the process, he has brought to our attention how important it is to reach out to those who are in prison, and not leave them forgotten.Every time I listen to this album (and I only have an old tape copy I made 25 years ago ), I listen for this dialogue, and appreciate the warmth of the performer, and the response from the audience. King speaks through his music, and the audience speaks through their responsive admiration.If you own this already, listen for what I speak of. If you dont, grab it, and experience why it is one of his greatest albums.

This album is fantastic, with most of the music originating from 'the early years'. It is bluesy, moody, soulful and original, including a superb display of 'Lucille'. Being a live recording and perhaps because of the prison location BB King is at his very best as he reaches out to the audience, identifying with and commiserating the loss of freedom, love and emotional wellbeing of the prisoners.Probably my best purchase for ages.
