T Bone Burnett first saw B.B. King at the Central Forest Club in Dallas in the 1960s. "That show had a profound impact on me," the producer says. "I wanted to make a record that sounded like that concert." So when King visited Burnett's studio, the pair listened to dozens of obscure R&B songs from the 1950s — and cut fifteen tracks for the record, including songs by Lonnie Johnson and T-Bone Walker. "B.B. hasn't lost a step," Burnett says. "He's an authentic American genius musician."
