FYI: This entire album is killer! Even the cheesy rap tune. Of course, I love the blues, so my opinion might be a little biased. (edit: It was released 15 years ago? Oh my god.)

I would have preferred Joan Armatrading with him on this. Her doing a guitar duet with him would have been interesting to hear as well! Plus she could have hit some of the lower registers with him too!


That's a sweet thought! Where is Joan these days, anyway? Is she still recording?

I think I'm the odd one out here, but Tracy's voice certainly adds to the song for me... I love the distinction in styles.

does anybody think for a second that while they're singing this they give a whitt what anybody else thinks?

Agreed. With this arrangement, she doesn't sound terribly pained or sad.

I think she was just thrilled with performing with the King. How you gonna feel pained or sad at that???

It sounds like a great idea for a duet but Tracy's vocal doesn't really add anything—she doesn't seem to be up to her usual standards and BB's rendition(s) over the years are so fine.

Nice idea, but the voices don't meld well. As stated before meh.

A friend pointed out to me that B.B. never plays chords. I guess he doesn't have to.

That's what he told Bono in Rattle and Hum......he can play chords....he chooses to play notes(sometimes too many,too fast)

TC is too trembly. Scared maybe? BB is rock steady.

For the first time «The Thrill Is Gone» I heard a performance of Diamanda Galas :)

Just for some added texture.

You've been listening to D.J. Schmolli again, haven't you? {#Guitarist}
