B.B. King
Riley B. King was born on September 16, 1925, on the Berclair cotton plantation near the town of Itta Bena, Mississippi, the son of sharecroppers Albert and Nora Ella King. He considered the nearby city of Indianola, Mississippi to be his home. When King was four years old, his mother left his father for another man, so he was raised by his maternal grandmother, Elnora Farr, in Kilmichael, Mississippi.
My Kind of Blues
My Kind of Blues is the sixth studio album released by B. B. King in 1961. It apparently emanates from a single recording session from about March 3, 1960. A remastered and expanded edition was released in 2003.
