Rating: - As Good as Ever
Amazing he can still sing this way at his age.
Best stuff in years.
Rating: - A kind favor from B.B. King
As a Blues fan this album is a big favor for me. I like better B.B. King of the old times. But this new cd is something else. Like his early days, B.B. King is focused on creativity in singing as well as playing the guitar.

Rating: - Your Majesty, your crown's still lookin' fine
Memphis, TN lays claim to two Kings and one still rules with his Queen, Lucille, by his side. BB King hardly sounds like he's over 80 in this collection of blues standards. You've heard this music before and you'll hear it again, but mark my words you will remember these versions of the songs.
Other reviewers have said it better. I'm just contributing to this product's star rating, but I will say honestly. You are doing yourself a good dozen kind favors when you buy this CD.

Rating: - BB is the King of Blues
I have really enjoyed 'One kind Favor' by BB, one of his best, but can't give it 5 stars. While it is very good, it's not as good as 'Blues on the Bayou', my all time favorite CD by BB.
Rating: - The best album up to now
I know all albums of BB King. Bt this new album is by far the best album he ever made.
