I was excited to see this title and quickly ordered it. I thought I would get a typical B.B. King quality recording except one which was faith-based. Man, was I disappointed.

I always wondered how B.B. could record so many albums that are not faith-based when he is a professing Chrisitian. I assumed that he gave it a good shot with this release and didn't make any money off, so he didn't try again. What appears to have happened with this one is that it was recorded many years ago (I heard circa 1960), but unlike Little Richard's Gospel recordings from 1959 to 1964, B.B.'s are substandard.

B.B.'s Gospel Blues is scartchy, very rough and lacks almost all of the great things that I expected. I hope and pray that he does something of quality for the Lord before he passes from this world.
