   Mission accomplished, with The Soul Of The King making a bracing return to
   some of King's greatest cuts. There's a heartfelt turn from Michael Lee on
   The Thrill Is Gone. Mary Griffin and Taj Mahal combine their vocal and guitar
   talents on Paying The Cost To Be The Boss. Kenny Neal lends poignant vocals
   and licks to Sweet Little Angel. 'Recording with the different artists and
   the band was an enlightening experience,' reflects Harvey. 'Everyone came in
   prepared, but when Mary Griffin came to record, she came in all bubbly - and
   nailed her vocals in two takes.'

   They might have an illustrious history, but The Soul Of The King reminds us
   that The B.B. King Blues Band are a lineup moving forward, writing a
   love-letter to their fallen leader while staking their own claim in the
   modern era. 'When we started this album, we wanted to let the world know the
   B.B. King Band is live and well,' explains Harvey. 'And that we are
   continuing B.B.'s musical legacy ' Choosing songs from King's sprawling
   catalogue could have been an ordeal. But for The Soul Of The King, the lineup
   made a smart move, letting the A-list guests dictate the material. 'As the
   name artists joined the project,' remembers Harvey, 'we picked songs from
   B.B.'s catalogue that we felt fit their voices. Our approach was not to stray
   too far from the original, but still to make it fresh. I want the world to
   remember B.B. and to introduce his music to the youth of today.'
