Wenn der Gentleman die Gitarre "Lucille" vor den gerundeten Bauch schnallt, mag das rührend wirken. Greift B.B. King dann aber in die Saiten und wringt den Blues aus seinen Stimmbändern, fasziniert der 70jährige wie eh und je. Zum Geburtstag gibt's ein schönes Präsent, nicht nur für Blues-Freunde - vom Hummingbird von 1970 (mit Leon Russell, Joe Walsh) über All Your Ever Give Me Is The Blues mit Vernon Reid bis zum Gipfeltreffen mit John Lee Hooker (You Shook Me), BB's Blues mit Brandford Marsalis oder When Love Comes To Town mit U2.

Eine Legende feiert Geburtstag. Am 16. September wird Riley King, genannt "Blues Brother", 70 Jahre alt. Auf seiner langen Reise in den Blues-Olymp hatte ihn nicht nur die geliebte Gitarre Lucille begleitet, sondern ebenso eine Heerschar von Bewunderern aus dem Rock- und Entertainment-Lager, für die B.B. stets einer der zugänglichsten Vertreter seines Genres war. Angesichts von Kings Offenheit für musikalische Begegnungen der besonderen Art war es eine gute Idee, zum Jubiläum eine Parade von 15 King-Duetten aus einem Vierteljahrhundert zu präsentieren. Die Lucille ist natürlich stets dabei, wenn sich Exponenten aus Rock, Soul und Jazz dem Maestro stellen. Los geht's mit U2 und einem stürmischen "When Love Comes To Town". Deftige Kost wird auch serviert, wenn Gary Moore bei "Since I Met You Baby" einsteigt. Zurück zu den Wurzeln begibt sich King mit dem Minimalisten John Lee Hooker in "You Shook Me". Mit der Jazzvokalistin Diane Schuur entstand ein mitreißendes "Spirit In The Dark". Dann wieder reibt sich B.B.'s artikulierter Gesang an den softeren Soulstimmen von Robert Cray oder Stevie Wonder. Bemerkenswert ist das 1991 aufgenommene und bisher unveröffentlichte Duett mit Vernon Reid von den Rock-Avantgardisten Living Color. Der Booklettext führt kundig durch diese Gala-Vorstellung. ** Interpret.: 07-09 ** Klang.: 06-08

WHEN LOVE COMES TO TOWN

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

I was a sailor, I was lost in sea
I was under the waves, before love rescued me
I was a fighter I could turn on a threat
Now I stand accused of the things I've said.

When love comes to town,
I'm gonna jump that train
When love comes to town,
I'm gonna catch that flame.
Maybe I was wrong to ever let you down,
But I did what I did before love came to town.

Used to make love under a red sunset,
I was making promises I was soon to forget.
She was pale as the lace of her wedding gown,
But I left her standing before love came to town.

Ran into a juke joint when I heard a guitar scream,
The notes were turning blue when I fell into a dream
As the music played I saw my life turn around
That was the day before love came to town.

Love comes to town,
I'm gonna jump that train
When love comes to town,
I'm gonna catch that flame.
Maybe I was wrong to ever let you down,
But I did what I did before love came to town.

I was there when they crucified my lord
I held the scabbard when the soldier drew his sword
I threw the dice when they pierced his side,
But I've seen love conquer the great divide.

Yeah, Yeah, Yeah...


PLAYING WITH MY FRIENDS

I'm gonna call up some of my buddies,
and a few of the ladies I know
I'm gonna rent a hall and get them all and,
put on a heck of a show

Make sure we got a kitchen,
with a oven and a stove
We'll all get in there cookin',
then we'll throw open all the doors

Playin' with my friends,
playin' with my friends,
playin' with my friends
We'll have a good time,
playin' with my friends

I'm gonna buy a 100 pounds of catfish,
cook it all up on the grill
Fix some beans and corn bread,
everybody's gonna get their fill

Then we'll grab all the guitars,
greasy hands and all
Someone'll count off a shuffle,
and man we'll have a ball

Playin' with my friends,
playin' with my friends,
playin' with my friends
We'll have a good time,
playin' with my friends

Yes, we gonna buy some of that red, red wine,
the best that money can buy
You gotta drink it all from a paper cup,
that this here Saturday life is right

Everybody's gonna stand up,
play their favorite tune
You can pick any tune you want to,
as long as it's the blues

Playin' with my friends,
playin' with my friends,
playin' with my friends
We'll have a good time,
playin' with my friends


TO KNOW YOU IS TO LOVE YOU

To know you is to love you
But to know me is not that way, you see
'Cause you made me so happy
That my love for you grows endlessly

When I'm down and feeling sad
You always comfort me
When I'm down and feeling sad
You always comfort me

Baby, to know you is to love you
You smile when I see your face
'Cause there ain't no one on this earth
Baby, could ever, ever take your place

When I'm down and feeling sad
You always comfort me
When I'm down and feeling sad
You always comfort me

Oh to know you is to love you
Is to see you being free as the wind
'Cause the power of your loving
Is too strong to hold within

To know you is to love you
To see you blowing free in the breeze
The power of your loving
I never found a woman like you
That could be my lover
And my best friend

I know you and I think I love you
I know you and I think I love you
I know you and can't you feel our love
Just growing, growing, growing
Growing, growing, growing

Hey, I know you and I think I love you
I know you and I think I love you
I know you and can't you feel our love
Just growing, growing, growing
Growing, growing, doggone it, baby

I know you and I think I love you
I know you and I think I love you
I know you and can't you feel our love
Just growing, growing, growing
Growing, growing, hey doggone it, baby

I know you and I think I love you
I know you and I think I love you
And I think you love me, too
Mm baby, I know you


CAUGHT A TOUCH OF YOUR LOVE

I'm not feeling like I usually do
I think it might have something
To do with you
Every time you're near me
My body gets hot
Don't need a doctor
I know what I've got

Caught a touch of your love
It came on overnight
I must have held you too tight
Last night
Caught a touch of your love

Your affection has affected me
I'm feeling kind of dizzy
And weak in the knees
I've been in love before
But never so bad
You're in my system
And it's driving me mad

The fever from your kisses
Tears me apart
It starts from your lips
And goes straight to my heart
No use pretending
'Cause baby, I'm sure
There's no cure
And I've just gotta have more


ALL YOU EVER GIVE ME IS THE BLUES

I gave you a diamond ring
You won't wear
It's a nine thousand dollar thing
You don't care
I set up a wedding date
You couldn't make it
You said all the love we made
You were just faking

But girl, you know
What hurts me the most
Is I gave all my love to you
All you ever give me
All you ever give me
All you ever give me is the blues
Is the blues

I gave you my Cadillac keys
You don't drive
I hired you a limousine
You won't ride
Bought you the house on the hill
You hate the view
Even wrote you into my will
Gave you something to look forward to

But girl, you know
What hurts me the most
Is I gave all my love to you
All you ever give me
All you ever give me
All you ever give me is the blues
Nothing but the blues

I've tried and tried
But I'm mystified
I've done all that I can do
I've given you my best
You put me to the test
All you ever give me
All you ever give me
All you ever give me is the blues
Nothing but the blues

But girl, you know
What hurts me the most
Is I gave all my love to you
All you ever give me
All you ever give me
All you ever gave me was the blues
All you ever gave me
All you ever gave me
All you ever gave me
All you ever gave me was the blues
Nothing but the blues

Get up there and let's start dancing

I feel it, baby.
You know what I mean, baby?
Yes, I do.
Oh baby. You gotta feel the motivation.
I feel it, honey, I feel it.

Feel the spirit
In the dark
Get ready


CAN'T GET ENOUGH

I've been tossing and turning all night
Staring into the darkness
Afraid to turn on the light
It's got nothing to do with money
I just sure enough want you, honey
And I just can't rest
Till I get it right
'Cause when the morning breeze
Starts blowing
That's when you hear me call your name
That's when my love starts showing
It's getting serious, baby
End of the game

'Cause I can't get enough of your love
I said I can't get enough of your love
I can't get enough of your love
I said I can't get enough of your love

You got me walking round in circles
Yeah I'm always pacing the floor
'Cause this life I'm living without you
I just can't take no more

When the morning breeze starts blowing
I can hear you call my name
That's when my love starts showing
It's getting serious, baby
End of the game

'Cause I can't get enough of your love
I said I can't get enough of your love
I can't get enough of your love
I said I can't get enough of your love

'Cause when the morning breeze
Starts blowing
I can hear me call your name
That's when my love starts showing
It's getting serious, baby
End of the game

'Cause I can't get enough of your love
I can't get enough of your love
I said I can't get enough of your love
I said I can't get enough of your love

I can't get enough of your love


SINCE I MET YOU BABY

I used to wake up in the morning with an aching head.
I couldn't remember anything I'd said.
My friends told me I was getting out of line.
If it wasn't for you baby, I'd be doing time.

Since I met you baby,
You've made a new man of me.
Since I met you baby,
I'm happy as a man could be.
Yes I am.

I used to think I was better than the rest.
Ain't no doubt about it, I was no second best.
Didn't seem to matter what was right or what was wrong.
I did some crazy things before you came along.
Since I met you baby,
You've made a new man of me.

Since I met you baby,
I'm happy as a man could be.
Yes, I am.

Since I met you baby.
Since I met you baby.
Since I met you baby.
Since I met you baby.
Since I met you baby,
I'm happy as a man could be.
One more time!

Since I met you baby.
Since I met you baby.
Since I met you baby.
Since I met you baby.
Since I met you baby.
Since I met you baby.
Since I met you baby.
Since I met you baby.
Well, since I met you baby,
I'm happy as a man could be.
Yes, I am.

Happy as a man can be.
You tell 'em Gary!
Yeah!


BB'S BLUES

If you love me, baby
Why don't you write me sometime
If you, if you love me, baby
Why don't you let me
Hear from you sometime
You don't do nothing
But keep me worried
You just keep me worried
All the time

You know I think about you, baby
I think about you
Every night about this time
Oh you know, you know
You know I think about you, baby
I think about you
Every night about this time
It seems like you would treat me
A little better, baby
It seems like you would be
A little nicer and kind

Let me love you one more time, baby
Let me love you one more time
Before you go away
Let me, let me love you
One more time, baby
One more time before you go away
If you let me love you one more time
I think we can talk it over
Before you go away

Here I am, baby
My heart's right here in my hand
Oh here I am, baby
My heart's right here in my hand
Oh I don't want you to leave me, baby
Don't want you to go
To no other man


BETTER NOT LOOK DOWN

I´ve been around and I´ve seen some things
People moving faster than the speed of sound
Faster than the speeding bullet
People living like Superman
All day and all night
And I won´t say if it´s wrong or if it´s right
I´m pretty fast myself
But I do have some advice to pass along
Along in the chorus of this song

Better not look down
If you want to keep on flying
Put the hammer down
Keep it full speed ahead
Better not look back
Or you might just wind up crying
You can keep it moving
If you don´t look down

An old girl friend of mine showed up the other day
That girl have lived in love and for love
And over love, and under love all her life
If the arrows from cupid´s bow that had
Passed through her heart had been sticking
Out of her body she would have looked like
A porcupine, and she asked me
B.B. do you think I´ve lived my life all wrong?
And I said: The only advice I have to pass
Along in the chorus of this song
Girl

Better not look down
If you want to keep on flying
Put the hammer down
Keep it full speed ahead
Better not look back
Or you might just wind up crying
You can keep it moving
If you don´t look down

I was walking down the street at sunrise one morning
In London, England
And there was a very large Rolls Royce Limousine
Pulling slowly along the street
And in that Rolls Royce was the Queen of England
Looking tired
Just go back from a party, and the Queen leaned out and
She said: Aren´t you B.B. King? She said:
Oh B.B., sometimes it´s so hard to pull things together
Could you tell me what you think I ought to do?
And I said:

Better not look down
If you want to keep on flying
Put the hammer down
Keep it full speed ahead
Better not look back
Or you might just wind up crying
You can keep it moving
If you don´t look down


FROSTY

(Instrumental)


HUMMINGBIRD

Sometimes I get impatient
but she cools me without words
and she comes so sweet and so plain
my hummingbird and have you heard
that I thought my life had ended
but I find that it´s just begun
cause she gets me where I live
I´ll give all I have to give
I´m talking about that hummingbird
oh she´s little and she loves me
too much for words to say
when I see her in the morning sleeping
she´s little and she loves me
to my lucky day
hummingbird don´t fly away

When I´m felling wild and lonesome
she knows the words to say
and she gives me a little understanding
in her special way
and I just have to say
in my life I loved a woman
because she´s more than I deserve
and she gets me where I live
I´ll give all I have to give
I´m talking about that hummingbird
oh she´s little and she loves me
too much for words to say
when I see her in the morning sleeping
she´s little and she loves me
to my lucky day
hummingbird don´t fly away


GHETTO WOMAN

She's a ghetto woman, waitin' for her man to come home
Oh she's a ghetto woman, waitin' for her man to come home
Said she's just a ghetto woman, waitin' for her man to come home

A rat run cross the floor, a roach ran up the wall
Everything is noise around her, that don't seem to bother her at all
Ghetto woman, sittin' there all alone
She's just a ghetto woman, waitin for her man to come home

Yes, the tv's on, radio blastin' the news
Somebody down the hall, playin' the low down dirty blues
My ghetto woman, she's all alone
She's just a ghetto woman, waitin' for her man to come home

Oh, she's a ghetto woman, she's a ghetto woman
Oh, ghetto woman, what's on your mind
Sometimes I look in your face, can't help but cry.


LET THE GOOD TIMES ROLL

Hey, everybody, let's have some fun
You only live but once
And when you're dead you're done, so

Let the good times roll, let the good times roll
I don't care if you're young or old
Get together, let the good times roll

Don't sit there mumblin', talkin' trash
If you wanna have a ball
You gotta go out and spend some cash, and
Let the good times roll, let the good times roll
I don't care if you're young or old
Get together, let the good times roll

Hey Mr. Landlord, lock up all the doors
When the police comes around
Just tell 'em that the joint is closed
Let the good times roll, let the good times roll
I don't care if you're young or old
Get together, let the good times roll

Hey tell everybody
Mr. King's in town
I got a dollar and a quarter
Just rarin' to clown
But don't let nobody play me cheap
I got fifty cents more that I'm gonna keep, so

Let the good times roll, let the good times roll
I don't care if you're young or old
Get together, let the good times roll

No matter whether rainy weather
Birds of a feather gotta stick together
So get yourself under control
Go out and get together and let the good times roll
