"BB KING TAPS INTO SOMETHING UNIVERSAL .... HE CAN'T BE CONFINED TO ANY ONE GENRE. THAT'S WHY I'VE CALLED HIM A 'GLOBAL MUSICIAN,'" - ERIC CLAPTON
Like a celebration thrown by B.B. for his countless fans, The B.B. King Treasures brings remembrances, photos, and rare and personal memorabilia together in a magnificent collection. Numerous illustrations and 12 removable facsimile reproductions - among them a farming record from his old days as a Mississippi sharecropper and a postcard from a sixteen-year-old B.B. to his sweetheart - provide the atomosphere for the party. The entertainment is a jam session, led by the King of the Blues himself, of rare and never before published quotes and stories from B.B., his friends, and people he worked with over the years, The 60-minute CD features two previously unreleased songs - one from B.B.'s first-ever recording session with ABC Records in 1962, the other from a 1971 London studio session - along with selected interviews.
