Breve biografia
Il apparaît à l’évidence, pour tous les amateurs de blues; que B.B. King, comme son nom l’indique, est véritablement le roi du blues. Né dans le Mississippi en 1925, il se produit localement durant la fin des années 40, s’établissant à Memphis où il est disc-jockey. Contrairement à la plupart des artistes de cette région qui s’installèrent à Chicago ou à Detroit, en urbanisant le style primitif du Mississippi comme Muddy Waters ou John Lee Hooker, B.B. King acquiert sa popularité dans le Sud et enregistre dès 1949 sur la côte ouest des Etats-Unis. Dans l’idiome du blues pur, son jeu de guitare apparaît comme révolutionnaire et aura, peu ou prou, une influence sur tous les artistes de blues et de rock music, sans distinction de pays: Il est d'ailleurs frappant de remarquer que tous les jeunes artistes du blues de Chicago, à partir de Buddy Guy et Otis Rush jusqu’à Jimmy Johnson et Luther Allison, ont développé leur style à partir de celui de B.B. King, alors que ce dernier ne fut jamais catalogué comme un bluesman de cette région. Son jeu est hypermélodieux, incisif, parlant, technique, son phrasé coulant et limpide et sa voix forte et bien timbrée (il pratiqua beaucoup les gospels songs). B.B: King, qui a parcouru les Etats-Unis et le monde entier en long, en large et en travers, est l’artiste de blues de loin le plus populaire, aussi bien pour la population noire que dans le show-biz américain.
