King has a slew of records from his prolific career and I like to take them slow and easy, just like his playing. By the time this record came out, He had been professionally playing for nearly 30 years, and it clearly shows in this set. The tracks are super tight, and the band sounds warm and comfortable, and King's playing and voice are nothing short of perfect. This collection is most notable as his breakthrough album, with one of his best charting singles, and the most covered song in his catalog. A song which went on to earn him his first of many Grammy Awards, and setting him up for another coupe of decades worth of work ahead of him. Let start the week & month off right with some easy-going beautiful blues music.
