Additional information: First in the form of a CD 2 on 1 for these 1969 and 1971 albums, originally released on the Stateside and Probe labels respectively. "Completely Well" contains B.B. King's signature song "The Thrill Is Gone" and eight other tunes, six of which were mostly co-written by him. It was a breakthrough album by B.B. King that earned him the recognition he deserved and made the world pay attention to him. It also marked a shift from BB's "old" style to a style identified with his later ABC recordings, with the inclusion of wind and superimposed strings.
"Live In Cook County Jail" shows BB shooting sparks on all eight cylinders, and the audience is in complete awe of his performance. It includes arguably the best live version of "The Thrill Is Gone", as well as stunning versions of classics such as "Everyday I Have The Blues", "How Blue Can You Get" and "Sweet Sixteen". bgo-recordsTracklist: 1969 - Completely Well
