This groundbreaking project celebrates the centennial birthday of B.B. King, honouring his monumental legacy with a one-of-a-kind Collaboration Album. The album features a double album worth of curated tracks of B.B. King's most iconic songs, recorded/tracked by Blues Rock Icon Joe Bonamassa and his all-star band, with production led by 2-time Grammy-nominated producers Joe Bonamassa and Josh Smith. The reimagined tracks will include a stellar lineup of guest musicians from both contemporary and legacy backgrounds that will unite multiple generations and genres to pay tribute to the King of Blues with 32 tracks and including 40 special guests!
Working directly with B.B. King’s estate, this project is deeply personal to Joe, reflecting his lifelong admiration for B.B. and the profound impact B.B. had on his career and life. Joe’s connection with B.B. began in 1989 when, as a 12-year-old prodigy, he had the life-changing opportunity to open for Mr. King. Over the years, their friendship grew as they toured together on dozens of occasions, cementing a bond that Joe cherishes to this day.
