The titles of releases on my label Big Guitar Music the songs are taken from in this episode include Big Leg Beat, I Told You So, and Courts of Lu Lu.
A music track playlist for this podcast is available on Spotify, Amazon Music, Apple, and YouTube for your listening pleasure.
The musicians featured in the tracks on this episode are Barry “Frosty” Smith, Bill Averbach, Bruce Jones, Gene Brandon, Gerry “Phareaux” Felton, Hugh Garraway, Omar Dykes, Reese Wynans, Richie Price, Spencer Starres, Wes Starr
Omar's picks for the early years of B.B. King's career are the record My Kind of Blues released on Crown Records. I really like the songs on it, especially "Walking Dr. Bill," the album Live at The Regal on ABC Records, a classic release where everything went right and includes another impeccable song list, and finally, The Jungle on Kent Records.
