Blues--B.B. King
"80" (Geffen Records) B.B. King is timeless. Here's an album taken from his 80th birthday bash where he pairs up with a wide array of artists. Some really drive deep (Van Morrison); some offer variety (John Mayer); some BB gives a lesson in singing; some sound kinda silly, and some (Mark Knopfler) just reach down inside and grab you. Best of all is Eric Clapton and BB with B's tradmark "Thrill is Gone." BB Lets Eric take it where his feeling will go, and accents that masterfully. Really a stone-treat. Bobby Bland and BB sing a moving "Funny How Time Slips Away" that seems to span the decades, and whisper of an opening farewell. A
