What's your favorite B.B. King album?

Riding with the King with Eric Clapton, great recording.

Riding with the King is nice indeed.

I also like Live at San Quintin. It doens't have the best SQ, but the ambiance is very nice. I like how he speaks to the crowd.

Blues by the Bayou is also very nice.

Its ******** amazing! My K701s make the most out of it. At the beginning, I used to get headaches from Three O'clock Blues. The treble peaks are soo annoying, and were very painful, but after getting used to it, I really like it. 
 
Besides, the cans burned it and I also got used to them. The quality apart from that song is outstanding.

Of the BB King albums I've heard so far, my favorite is Live in Cook County Jail. I have it on vinyl and it is a a great recording and performance.

I was looking around for a collection that would give me a bunch of B.B.'s classic studio tracks. I wanted mostly just B.B. as the front man, not other musicians like Eric Clapton.
 
I picked up this 2-CD set:
 

 
It's got a lot of studio classics, and a few live tracks thrown in. It's a nice starting point to sit down and listen to two CDs worth of classic B.B. King. It does have some of his work with other artists including U2 and Clapton.
