Better Not Look Down

B.B. King has transcended the blues subculture to become one of the most revered artists of the 20th century, bar none. He brought the sound of Mississippi Delta blues into the mainstream, modernized by his unique electric guitar work. Worldwide success came late for him, but that delay only encouraged him to hone his craft to an unprecedented pinnacle. This 3-CD collection hits many of the highlights of his extraordinary career, including: The Thrill is Gone, Everyday I Have the Blues, Chains and Things and Gambler s Blues. Madacy s B.B. King Collector s Edition Tin provides an excellent introduction to an important cultural icon a deluxe package guaranteed to prevent the thrills from going out of your life.

Bruce Springsteen once said he intended to make an album with words like Bob Dylan that sounded like Phil Spector where he sang like Roy Orbison, a nifty summary of many, but not all, of his artistic ambitions and a key to his appeal.

A real win-win for everyone
