BB King "Live at Cook County Jail"

LP (NEW) - Vinyl, Geffen Records, Europe, 2015, 0602547437976, 180g Vinyl, Reissue

B.B. King’s Live in Cook County Jail (1971) stands alongside Live at the Regal as one of the definitive live records in blues history. Recorded on September 10, 1970, in front of 2,117 inmates at Chicago’s notorious maximum-security facility, this performance captured King at his absolute peak of mainstream cross-over appeal. While the venue's stark atmosphere contrasts heavily with a typical concert hall, the resulting record is a masterclass in dynamic showmanship, empathy, and raw musicality.
