20th Anniversary re-release of Eric Clapton and B.B. King's Riding With The King
This month marks 20 years since the release of the classic blues album by Eric Clapton and B.B. King,
Riding With the King. The Grammy Award-winning album featured a mix of covers, classics, and four original tracks. The duo were backed by an remarkable array of collaborators including Andy Fairweather Low, Doyle Bramhall II, Jimmy Vaughan, and Nathan East, all of whom have taken part in Eric Clapton's Crossroads Festivals.
The two guitar legends first played together in 1967, and over the years got together for the occasional performance or session together, including at the iconic Crossroads Festival. In
Sunshine of Your Love, B.B. King amongst others, tells the wider story of the extraordinary series of concerts which drew some of the best musicians from around the world.
To celebrate the 20th Anniversary, an expanded edition of
Riding With The King has been released with two previously unreleased tracks. The tracks include a take on the blues standard 'Rollin' & Tumblin'' and B.B. King's 'Let Me Love You'.
