BONAMASSA SAYS

“When I listen to The Thrill Is Gone, some of the riffs that he played are iconic, but they sound like he just improvised them. Like, how do we get into this?”

Joe Bonamassa: Here's what makes B.B. King’s “The Thrill Is Gone” so stunning

BONAMASSA SAYS

So we had two choices – I could have approached a young, budding blues artist with no fear about tackling the beast because nobody wanted to do it. It’s so iconic, but luckily enough, we were able to get Chaka Khan on vocals and Eric Clapton on guitar. It’s the crown jewels – two icons paying tribute to an icon.”
