B.B. King Unveiled!
Kenny Blue Ray presents an excellent, concise study of the playing style of blues legend B.B. King - described by Robben Ford as "the most important electric guitarist of all time". Kenny is a brilliant and authentic blues artist in his own right, and having started his exploration of B.B.'s style back in 1964 is well qualified to offer insights into what made him so special and unique.
