B.B. King - Completely Well - 07 - Crying Won't Help You

[bluesatbirth]

Good tune--good groove. I got to sit and talk with BB on the tour bus some yrs. ago--a real honest gentleman. But in my opinion this tune would have never reached the people the way the Thrill Is Gone did. It is a true outstanding classic--gave BB a real shot--which he truly deserved.

Completely Well is one of my favourite BB King albums along with his one foray into Wah Wah guiatr, Lucille Talks Back. This particlar track and it's follow on You've Been Mean feature Bee playing the hardest I've ever heard, really digging in and wailing. The band really push him, as he says at the end "Damn, what y'all tryna do - kill me?"

I've got the album "Live and Well" that made King a household name...always thought THIS song would've made a better signature song than 'Thrill is Gone'--VERY underrated! I jammed with this track many times 40 yrs ago. THANKS!

I agree - I've been playing this song for 40+ years and I love it
