@Thom - the one I have got is Purely B.B. King, which I listened to in the car earlier today, although I don't know its provenance. It is a double CD of, I assume, earlier material mainly through the sound quality. Content wise it is pretty good.. But I am sure someone like BDB will be able to give a better response. Of his later work, the best known is probably the album with Eric Clapton that I played above - Riding with the King.
@Thom - Sorry to get in late on the B.B.King discussion but I love his '50's material, originally on the Modern label. Ace has a comp called The Best Of The Early Years that would do nicely. This 2-fer you can get at eMu is close - http://www.emusic.com/album/b-b-king/the-bluessinging-the-blues/15764143/ So I just listened to Have You Met Lera Lynn, by Lera Lynn. Who? Why? There is a trailer on HBO for the upcoming Season 2 of True Detective that has a woman singing - one hear and I was Who Was That? I Have To Have That! but it seems they commissioned this song for the series from country singer Lera Lynn and it is not yet available. So I picked up this previous album on eMu - there are hints that there's talent here, but it wouldn't have suggested someone who would produce a song I had to have the moment I heard it, but that can be a tricky thing. They are on a roll there - I also had to have The Handsome Family song The Road Goes On from Season 1 of True Detective. That at least is at eMu.
[quote]Empty Orchestra finds The OO-Ray (Ted Laderas) possessed with a new sense of urgency. Recorded over a stressful three years concurrent with his doctoral work in biology, Empty Orchestra is a work that protests the savagery of today while still maintaining that calm and peace can be reached through the turbulence[/quote]
Eta: this is really, really good. GP I could especially see liking it.
