CD Reviews

The Second Half of King's Stay at Kent

Steve Vrana | Aurora, NE | 01/01/2001

(4 out of 5 stars)

"Look closely at the album art. This is the U.K.'s ACE Records' release of B.B. King's pre-MCA recordings, including 25 of his Kent singles. Among his R&B hits were "Please Accept My Love," "Sweet Sixteen" and "Partin' Time." In 1962 King left the small Kent label for the larger ABC label, but Kent kept releasing King's music for nearly a decade. In fact, his first Top 40 pop crossover came in 1964 when "Rock Me Baby" reached No. 34. Other Kent singles that dented the pop charts included "Beautician Blues" (No. 82), "Blue Shadows" (No. 97) and "The Jungle" (No. 94). The only thing that keeps this from being a five-star effort is that the collection starts in 1958, instead of 1951. So you miss out on songs like "Three O'Clock Blues," "You Know I love You," "Woke Up This Morning" and "Sweet Little Angel." [To get those songs, pick up on Flair's two-fer Singin' the Blues/The Blues--King's first two albums for Kent.] So if you're looking for a generous sampling of the second half of King's tenure at Kent, this album fits the bill nicely.
