The amazing B.B. King—along with some overambitious sock puppets—stars in this musical short film directed and designed by Sandra Boynton, and edited and mixed by Boynton with Michael Ford. The track was originally written and produced by Boynton and Ford for the celebrated album/songbook BLUE MOO: 17 Jukebox Hits from Way Back Never.

This short film was shot on 35mm film at Dreamvision Studios in Las Vegas on July 18, 2008. It was released as a book/DVD by Workman Publishing in September of 2009.

"This is my first film-directing experience, and I also got to take on the glorious complications of production design. Working with B.B. King is just fabulous. What a miracle he is."

  • This was fun. One of my favorite musicians, one of my favorite illustrators, and some of my favorite socks (didn't I see a cameo by a "Solemate Sock"?!)

  • Hey there, finally, I can check out this vid! Doubt you remember but I was a 35 mm camera assistant on that shoot! I'm putting together a reel from gigs I've done and I'm going to put some of this in it, check out john skater com if you have a minute film/ production tab

  • Delightful!

    I'm also delighted to discover this morning that B.B. and Lucille are still kickin' them good tires, together: bbking.com/events/

    (Don't be put off by the silly intro music... this piece is lovely.)
