sings spirituals

• The eleventh and final volume in our acclaimed mid-price series based on B. B. King's Crown LPs with original, colourful artwork. • The "Spirituals" was B.B. King's fourth Crown LP, recorded in 1959 as a dedicated gospel album. • The song selection literally represents a "greatest hits" package of the time, ranging from classics such as 'Precious Lord' and '(Swing Low) Sweet Chariot' to no less than six staples from the repertoire of the highly respected 5 Blind Boys of Mississippi. • The eight bonus tracks represent a mix of singles that are not currently available on CD, together with previously unissued tracks from the vaults. • As before, notes and compilation come courtesy of "The Vintage Years" B.B. King box set producer John Broven. • Now the vast part of B.B. King's important catalogue for Modern Records is readily available on Ace CD in fabulously re-mastered sound.
