Live Now Appearing at Ole Miss
King and the University of Mississippi audience rise above their troubles for a spell in the late 1970s-purportedly captured on this two-disc package. The main man sings evenly and sprays blue tones with typical onstage intensity, handling repertoire mainstays and tunes recently recorded with the Crusaders. Fine if you were there; no one at the show was subjected to extra horns, a string section, Brazilian percussion, and other execrable 'sweetenings" added later in the New York recording studio.-- © Frank John Hadley 1993--From Grove Press Guide to Blues on CD
