B b king so excited electric blues 1969


Completely Well is the seventeenth studio album by blues guitarist B. B. King released in 1969. It is notable for the inclusion of "The Thrill Is Gone," which became a hit on both the R&B/soul and pop charts.

Contents

This album was released in the US as an LP record in 1969 and as a CD in 1987; in the UK only as an LP. San Francisco critic Ralph J. Gleason's liner notes are mostly a profile of King, with only one of the 17 paragraphs discussing a title from the LP, "Confessin' the Blues", but only to mention its historical importance (then almost 30 years old).
