A Beginner's Guide to the Blues: 3: BB King

on BBC Radio 2

Paul Jones profiles six blues greats who were defined post-war blues.
A tribute to perhaps the most significant electric blues guitarist, whose initials stand for "Blues Boy" and who, like so many of his peers, grew up along the Mississippi Delta. His enormous repertoire includes Every Day I Have the Blues, Three o'Clock Blues and the 1970 crossover hit The Thrill Is Gone.
