Original released on LP Crown 5167 (mono)
(US, 1960)
"King of the Blues" was B.B. King's sixth album for the Bihari Brothers on Crown, issued at a budget price, and his second full-length outing of 1960 after coming off his chart-topping "Sweet Little Sixteen" single earlier in the year. The set opens with the B-side of that single, "I've Got a Right to Love My Baby," and also includes "Partin' Time," a number eight charter as well. "I'm King" is B.B. at his boasting best; his modern style that crosses rock & roll and R&B with the jump blues is fully developed here, and his consistency from track to track during those crazy days is remarkable. This is a stellar look at a young, cocky, guitar-slinging B.B. King. This is a necessary purchase for anyone interested in King's career. (Thom Jurek in AllMusic)
