Little Richard, Big Mama Thornton and BB King Can You Suggest Best Albums?

@vonhelmholtz  I am very fond of a BB King disk called Take It Home.  Partly because he is backed up by the Jazz Crusaders.  Also, and this may sound strange, BB's Chrismas LP called A Christmas Celebration of Hope, has some of his best vocal work ever.  Give them a listen as see if you agree,  Cheers.

@vonhelmholtz  - What streaming service are you using?

Without a doubt -

BB King -  indianola mississippi seeds

just buy it and enjoy it!

@tomcy6 

Qobuz…

I’ll give all above a listen

Nearly anyone, I learned to start with the early stuff, when they made their reputations, and a bit after the best. 

i.e. BB King fell into a kind of caricature of himself: not playing much, not the whole song, a few short display intervals and let the band do most of the rest.

Early stuff, he rips it up thru and thru.

You didn't mention Buddy Guy, stream some Buddy, you will want some Buddy.
