The B. B. King Treasures

Critical Praise

"B. B. King taps into something universal....He can't be confined to any one genre. That's why I've called him a 'GLOBAL MUSICIAN.'"
-Eric Clapton

"This book is a true tribute to this man as well as a gift to us. There are pieces of history and pieces of culture contained in here with a glimpse into the life of the "King of Blues". Happy 80th birthday B.B. King. This is a book to be treasured."

"Now eighty years young, B. B. King offers this heartfelt account of his brilliant career. Each page is filled with photos and writings by the musician himself, giving the book an intimate feeling. An audio CD of interviews and musical recordings is also enclosed. The B. B. King Treasures is truly a pleasure to read, and listen to."

"This spectacular oral-history-cum-scrapbook should draw browsers as if it were a cure for the common cold. It is certainly good for what ails you, what with its scads of great photos and blues-biz paraphernalia, reproductions, its immaculately proofread text, its high production values, and it's --libraries beware!--removable bonus attractions (CD of interview outtakes and previously unreleased old recordings, eight translucent envelopes containing excellent reproductions of such memorabilia as a portrait-postcard a teenage King sent a girlfriend, backstage passes, business cards, booking sheets, concert handouts)..."
-Booklist

"B.B. King's name is instantly recognized, even by people who've never heard a blue recording and cannot name any of his classic recordings. For those who need a crash course in King's legacy, and for those seeking to genuflect in his greatness, The B.B. King Treasures is the perfect place to start.
