This weeks AotW is B.B. King "Live In Cook County Jail” on vintage vinyl. Jesse Deere is the host and here is how he presents this classic album. It has my favorite version of “The Thrill Is Gone”, and B.B. and Lucille are absolutely on fire. Plus the back jacket describes the scene of Cook County Jail, which was pretty much out of control. At the beginning of the album the M.C. introduces the Sheriff and the Judge for the county, who are in attendance, and the 2100+ inmates boo them out of the house. It’s fantastic. Then Lucille cranks up and the show is off and going. It’s a blues classic.
