That's The Way Love Is by Bobby Bland & B.B. King

Artist Biography For Bobby Bland & B.B. King

Thursday Throw Down ~ Let The Good Times Roll ~ Bobby 'Blue' Bland & B.B. King When This Album Came Out In 1976 This Was Just One Song I Couldn’t Get Enough Of. I Mean I Would Play It Over And Over And Over Again. Whether I Was Feeling Bad In A Party Mood Or Just Needed A Pick Me Up. To Me This Piece Of Muse Was Like A Natural High Better Than Any Drug Or Drink Could Ever Get You And Blew The Concept Right Out Of The Water That The Blues Had To Be Depressing. Blues Is A Genre That Has A Range From Where It Originated Born Right Out Of The Deepest Of Pain From The Heart And Soul But In The Same Respect Could Express Great Joy From Those Same Places For When That Pain Eased Up A Bit……and It Was Time To Let It All Go. Thus “Let The Good Times Roll”. B.B. King Is In A League Of His Own That No One On This Earth Past Present Or Future That Anybody Will Ever Be Able To Touch. His Talent On So Many Of His Own Composed Songs At Times Seemed To Be Able To Touch A Part Of Other People’s Souls That No One Else Could Zone In On. And That Is A Rarity. Bobby 'Blue' Bland In His Own Right Has Had A Lengthy Career That Started In 1951. In 57′ He Scored #1 On The R&B Charts And #43 On The Pop With “Farther Up The Road”. He Had A Magnitude Of Singles That Charted “I Pity The Fool” 1 R&b/pop 46 & “Turn On Your Love Light” 2/28 Both In 1961 Among Them. So When They Got Together For This Particular Concert We Got The Best Explosion Of The Song That Blues Ever Put Out. It Was Recorded At The Coconut Grove In Los Angeles Ca. You Have To Love The Blues To Understand Them Both In Sadness And Joy. This One Was Pure Raw Talented Let Loose Fun. Bobby 'Blue' Bland And B.B. King 'Together Again...Live' “Let The Good Times Roll” Written By Sam Theard & Fleecie Moore Louis Jordan’s Wife In 1942. Originally Recorded By Louis Jordan And His Tympany Five In 1946.

Luckly There Is A Volume 2 Named Together Again And It Too Will Knock Your Socks Off. Both Of These Albums Totally Bring The Pure Excitment Of Being At The Live Show. I Have Seen Both Artists On Numerous Occasions And These CD's Are The Next Best Thing To Being There In Person.
Great Joking Between Performers And The Soul Is That Type Of Soul That Is Dripping With Grease And Like Tina Turner Says "Nothin No Good Without The Grease. These CD"s Should Be Sold With Moist Towletts Included. I'm Ready Anytime For Volume 3. Take The Hint BB & Bobby. II. Much Of Bb King's Stuff Is "more Of The Same" But I Can't Stop Listening To This One. It Is A Very Casual And Very Inspired Recording That Is Technically Very Well Recorded. Just Try Not To Smile As BB And Bobby Try To Catch Each Other In Verses With No Obvious Rhyme. It Is Equal Parts Blues Soul Intimate Riffs Big Groovy Horns House Rockin Music And Down Home Storytelling. The Interaction Of These Two Artists With Each Other And With The Audience Is First Class. Definately An Overlooked Gem. III. If You Enjoy The Live Blues Scene You'll Love This Piece. You Can Almost Feel The Ambiance Of A Dimly Lit Smokey Blues Club. Poor Yourself A Mellow Bourbon Light Up A Fine Cigar And Enoy A Laid Back Evening With The Legendary Blues Of Mr. B.B. King & Bobby Blue Bland. The Bond Of These Two Long Time Friends Is Obvious In Their Free-Flowing Dialog And Makes For A Comfortable Evening Of Easy Listening. This Release Has Been Somewhat Overlooked Throughout The Years..... Share It With Your Friends. On Amazon Bobby 'Blue' Bland & B.B. King
