Welcome again to Podcasting Blues. I
am your host, Scale Nobles. I

2
00:00:06.160 --> 00:00:09.720
want to talk about the sound of
B. B. King from the nineteen

3
00:00:09.839 --> 00:00:15.679
fifties, a much different sounding style
of blues than when he was singing.

4
00:00:16.000 --> 00:00:22.399
The thrill is gone from the nineteen
seventies. Alan Freed would play BB King's

5
00:00:22.519 --> 00:00:27.160
music. Okay, here's that great
blues boy. BB King's latest off on

6
00:00:27.280 --> 00:00:35.479
record, Lonely and the music would
go due. B B. King's song

7
00:00:35.640 --> 00:00:43.079
Lonely in Blue reminds me of a
song that Fats Domino would sing. Lonely

8
00:00:43.159 --> 00:00:49.399
and Blue is a song that you
would call a blues ballad. There's a

9
00:00:49.479 --> 00:00:55.679
whole album and collection of B.
B. King's singing blues ballads title B.

10
00:00:55.679 --> 00:01:00.560
B. King Heart and Soul.
There is a song on the album

11
00:01:00.600 --> 00:01:06.480
that makes me think of the Platters. The Platters, Fats Domino and B.

12
00:01:06.480 --> 00:01:11.799
B. King all were singing in
the nineteen fifties. They were all

13
00:01:11.000 --> 00:01:18.280
in that rock and roll era with
the genres of rhythm and blues. I'm

14
00:01:18.319 --> 00:01:22.719
Gale Nobles. Thank you for tuning
in, and please come back again next

15
00:01:22.760 --> 00:01:26.079
time for more podcast and blues.
