Sunday Music: “Our Love Is Nothing But The Blues / Baby, How Blue Can You Get?
B.B. King’s Live at the Regal is one of those “if I had a time machine…” concerts. “How Blue Can You Get?” is pure heartache that explodes in the bridge. His voice and the audience response to this section is sheer brilliance:
I gave you a brand new Ford
You said, “I want a Cadillac”
I bought you a ten dollar dinner
You said, “thanks for the snack”
I let you live in my penthouse
You said it was just a shack
I gave you seven children
And now you wanna give them back
B.B. was the king.
