The new issue of Rolling Stone has a very interesting report in it about the upcoming B.B. King album. He met up with T-Bone Burnett and was told by him that he wanted B.B. to go back and play like he did in the '50s. They apparently cut this album just like his old '50s recordings. Among the people who play on it are Dr. John and Jim Keltner. King picked out covers of songs that go way back in time. According to the article he had to whittle it down from about 200 choices he made. This one sounds like it's going to be a great one.
