B.B. King + Buddy Guy at Orpheum Theatre
B.B. King’s blending of country, blues, gospel, and jazz has spawned countless musical movements in the decades he’s been shredding on his famed guitar, Lucille. There would be no Bonnaroo without him, for example, for there would be no jam bands without the King Of The Blues to educate the world on guitar noodling. King has reached the ripe old age of 84, but he's still releasing music at a steady clip, following up his 2005 duets album 80 with 2008's stripped-down, Grammy-winning One Kind Favor. On his current tour, King shares headlining duties with a fellow guitar legend, Chicago blues master Buddy Guy.
