B.B. King - Lucille Talks Back - Limited Edition 180 Gram LP

Limited Edition 180 Gram LP

First Ever Vinyl Reissue! Elemental Music proudly presents the first 180 gram LP reissue of the 1975’s album Lucille Talks Back by B. B. King. Not to be confused with a CD compilation of the same name released in 1988 by MCA, this sensational album was long out of print till now. Lucille Talks Back contains what every real blues fan could expect from B. B. King: a superb group of backing musicians playing at the height of their powers, with the King of the Blues himself front and center, pinging out blue notes from his guitar “Lucille” and singing his heart out. There’s no standout song here, but all of the tracks are solid blues numbers. Recorded in Las Vegas in September 1975, the album was arranged and produced by B.B. himself with Hampton Reese and Eddie Rowe. As a historical footnote, this is one of the few LPs on which the King of the Blues employs a Cry Baby wah wah pedal to modulate the sound of his famous “Lucille”.
