19th studio album by B.B. King is an album with King and his backing band playing with a team of British all-stars originally released by ABC Records in America and its sublabel, Probe Records in the UK.
From allmusic.com - review by Bill Dahl: "The plodding rhythms laid down by a coterie of British rock stars for this set make one long for B.B. King's road-tested regular band. But it was the fashion in 1971 to dispatch American blues legends to London to record mediocre LPs with alleged rock royalty (the lineup here includes Ringo Starr, Peter Green, Alexis Korner, and Klaus Voorman)". That pretty much sums up what this is, I'm afraid.
Not recommended.
