About this album

Live & Well finds B.B. King balancing the electricity of the stage with the control of the studio, making it one of his most sharply defined late-1960s albums. Issued in 1969, it pairs live performances with studio recordings, highlighting the force of King’s guitar, the authority of his voice and the conversational style that made him a modern blues standard-bearer. “Why I Sing The Blues” became a signature statement, while the set’s mix of hard-edged swing and emotional precision helped widen his audience beyond the traditional blues market. It is a key document of King’s crossover-era power and enduring influence.
