Rock Me Baby: The Very Best [Japan-exclusive best-of album]

★★★ Happy 85th Birthday!! ★★★

This is the definitive best-of collection featuring all the hit songs from the peak of B.B. King's modern/Kent era, the king of the blues whom everyone bows down to! Supervised by "Blues & Soul Records," Japan's only blues-specialized magazine, this is the one and only album you need!!

☆ From his debut in 1949 to the present day at 85 years old, B.B. King has consistently reigned at the top of the blues world. No, he should be called a living blues god—an absolute presence. His innovative guitar playing and refined style revolutionized modern blues, and his profound influence on later guitarists such as Clapton and Stevie Ray Vaughan is already common knowledge.

"Squeeze guitar" that squeezes the blues from the depths of his soul! Majestic vocals infused with melisma! This one-of-a-kind blues world—you can't talk about the blues without listening to B.B. ☆This album will feature 25 carefully selected tracks from his peak Modern/Kent era (1951-1961), when he sent 27 songs into the Top 20 charts and achieved his only number 1 hits (four of them!). From classics like "Rock Me Baby" and "Everyday I Have the Blues" to Clapton's favorite "Days of Old," a lineup of king-tier masterpieces awaits. This is a best-of album that can be enjoyed by people of all ages, from beginners to veterans!
