• Plot: A multitude of stars of blues, soul, and rock join the legendary B.B.

King classic like 'The Thrill Is Gone' to a soul number like 'Midnight Hour' and the closing gospel hymn, 'Take My Hand, Precios Lord,' B.B. applies his trademark mastery of electric guitar and rousing vocals, showing that blues feeling can be found in many places. In collaborations with the other guitar virtuosos, he achieves intense musical peaks -- and King and the three ladies of soul find humor and intensity in the blues standard 'Ain't Nobody's Business.'; ; There are many moments for others stars to shine -- Etta James and Dr. John duet beautifully, to mention only one example.
