Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: The best of both artists Comment: This is a really easy, relaxing listen. Very enjoyable. The best of the best. Can't miss with this one. Customer Rating: Summary: BB King and Eric Clapton - Riding With The King Comment: This disc is pure fun from start to finish. It's two old blues guys (yes, old, sorry guys!) singing and playing guitar. It's awesome, brilliant and above all it's a blast to listen to for any fan of the blues, BB or Clapton, or a good way to get someone hooked on the blues for the first time! Customer Rating: Summary: solid electric blues, sounds like.... a mix of B.B. King and Erc Clapton! Comment: Riding With The King is a CD that sounds exactly like what it is: A blending of BB King and Eric Clapton. Bringing these two guitar legends together makes for a good album, but there are no surprises or anythng unexpected. It's a solid blues-fest. I picked this up here on Amazon used (very cheap like a dollar) because I'm a big Clapton fan that respects but doesn't listen to a lot of BB King. So this is a cool CD for my collection, but not one I'll listen to every day. Customer Rating: Summary: Riding with the King Comment: Lots of phantastic guitar-playing and understandable lyrics. You'll be in good company with Erik Claton and B.B. King.Riding with the King Customer Rating: Summary: Riding With the King Comment: As amazing as you think it will be. Buy this, then buy copies for your family. More Reviews
Editorial Reviews: It sounds like the beginning of a story: "So, Slowhand and the King of the Blues were riding in a car ..." If this is a musical journey, it's the kind that rolls down long, empty stretches of country highway at 80 miles an hour, with the top down and the stereo blasting. Clapton and King may be more city than country, but this collection has the relaxed, laid-back feel that only comes from a pair of veterans doing what they do best. What they do here is cover 12 classic blues songs, many of them staples of King's repertoire, so the title of this album makes sense. Whether it's the rollicking rock & roll of the title track, or the acoustic shuffle of "Key to the Highway," or the sweet notes of "When My Heart Beats Like a Hammer," a real sense of pleasure comes through on this album, the kind of pleasure one gets from jamming late at night with a good friend. --Genevieve Williams
