BB KING
ONE KIND FAVOR
On this, his final studio album, BB embellishes between his soulful vocals in a way that can be related back to ourexamples. Check out I Get So Weary, How Many More Years and Backwater Blues to hear how he manages to negotiate through major I-IV-V progressions with all the attitude the minor pentatonic can deliver, plus lots of chromatic linking notes, slides, well-placed 6ths and bluesy quarter-tone bends – a technique BB was using way before most.
