I'm not a big fan of B.B. King; in fact, I find his style to be quite grating.
But "Indianola Mississippi Seeds" isn't the typical candy-ass garbage for which King is world-famous. It's a lot funkier and way more bad-ass. The amazing rhythm section almost makes you forget you're listening to one of the most over-rated blues guitarists who ever lived.
But that's how good this collection of songs is.
Plus he covers my favorite Leon Russell song, "Hummingbird."

PS: Of course, the purpose of these free downloads is so you can preview them, and then purchase the music through legitimate means. I would never encourage anybody to subvert the music industry. There it is, in writing. That's exactly how I officially feel.
