A few years ago my best friend gifted me a big red book. "The 500 Greatest Albums of All Time". I made a plan to listen to every single one of them and learn more about who made them and how. This podcast helps me do that, as I will run down the 500 Albums, that were selected by a panel of music journalists, critics and musicians who have shaped the popular music industry since the 1950s. Every week I will tell you about a new album, the artist and the story behind it. Are you in for the ride? Then give it a spin!

#499: B.B. King - Live in Cook County Jail

In January of 1971, American blues musician B.B. King released his fourth live album, recorded at Cook County Jail in Chicago, Illinois. “The King of the Blues” was in the middle of a career renaissance when he stepped into Chicago’s Cook County Jail, laying down definitive renditions of his blues standards as well as his crossover hits. B.B. wins over the hostile prisoners and proves why he is the king.

In this podcast we go through Rolling Stone magazine’s 500 Greatest Albums of All Time. As selected by a panel of music critics, journalists and musicians and published in 2003.
