OUT OF PRINT • "A forgotten gem"
Jacket and album in mint condition — purchased new, never played
ILucille is the fifteenth album by blues artist B. B. King. It is named for his famous succession of Gibson guitars, currently the Signature ES-355.
About your new favorite MFSL:
A bit of a forgotten gem, 1968’s Lucille opens with a ten-minute love letter to BB’s guitar. He famously rescued it from a fire, and then named every guitar he played, usually a Gibson ES-345, Lucille. ‘Lucille took me from the plantation/Oh and you might say brought me fame,’ he says, before claiming, ‘Lucille don’t wanna play nothin’ but the blues.’
Bowing to Lucille’s wishes, King and his six-string partner wring ever ounce of emotion out of Ivory Joe Hunter’s late-40s sob story No Money, No Luck and BB’s own Rainin’ All The Time and Stop Puttin’ The Hurt On Me. The stomping, horn-driven You Move Me So is one of the record’s non-tear-jerkers.
