位列「搖滾名人殿堂」+ 葛萊美「終身成就獎」加冕，永遠的藍調吉他大師
純釀藍調全新大碟交付葛萊美傳奇製作人T-Bone Burnett (Elvis Costello、John Mellencamp、Roy Orbison)操刀
堅持傳統藍調之音的Dr. John鋼琴彈奏+跨界贏得巨星級歡迎之Nathan East負責貝斯+與Beatles團員合作聲名大噪的Jim Keltner擔任鼓手，聯手打造一場精采絕倫的音樂高峰會
提及藍調就會聯想到的傳奇大師，年已82歲高齡的B.B. King，仍然釋放他對音樂的熱情、秀出拿手藍調吉他的精湛絕技、魅力不減的受到全球樂迷之景仰與推崇，學吉他的晚輩必修之課題。入選滾石雜誌「史上經典吉他手」第三名，1987年入列「搖滾名人殿堂」、共榮獲14座葛萊美獎肯定，於1987年得到「終身成就獎」加冕，同為美國「國家藝術獎章」、「總統自由獎章」得主。
原名Riley B. King的B.B. King，在擔任電台DJ時暱稱Beale Street Blues Boy，後來直接以Blues Boy自居，縮寫B.B.。不論是作嫁於其他藝人的作品大受好評，自己的歌曲更是不遑多讓，從1951年到1985年間，在Billboard的節奏藍調榜上出現74次之多。歷經1980、1990、2000年代的洗禮，跨越領域的參與電視演出，大受挑剔的影評讚譽。1988年與經典樂團U2合作“When Love Comes To Town”，和吉他之神Eric Clapton聯合出手的特輯，都是樂迷們津津樂道的寶典。

【One Kind Favor】是B.B. King第24張錄音室作品，交付葛萊美得主、傳奇製作人T-Bone Burnett (Elvis Costello、John Mellencamp、Roy Orbison)操刀，請到堅持呈現傳統藍調之音，在紐奧良R&B風潮中引人隨之搖擺Boogie調調的Dr. John擔任鋼琴彈奏；從Andrea Bocelli到Michael Jackson至Justin Timberlake跨界贏得巨星級歡迎之Nathan East負責貝斯的部份；與Beatles團員合作而聲名大噪，接續於Bob Dylan、Eric Clapton專輯中助陣的Jim Keltner坐上鼓手位置，這可說是一場樂壇老將的音樂高峰會，史無前例的黃金陣容，加上“See That My Grave Is Kept Clean”、“Waiting For Your Call”、“Blues Before Sunrise”、“Midnight Blues”、“Sitting On Top Of The World”...等動人心弦曲目，品味最純釀的藍調原始風貌。
This isn’t just B.B. King’s best album in years, it’s one of the strongest studio sets of his career, standing alongside classics such as Singin’ the Blues and Lucille. Where those early titles highlighted his youthful, wailing vocals and stinging guitar, this one plays to King’s current strengths: the tear-stained vibrato of his mature voice, punctuated by raunchy licks. For too long, King has drowned in slick production, propped up by stiff duets with the likes of Eric Clapton. Here, King is front and center, with a killer backing band — Jim Keltner (John Lennon, Mick Jagger) on drums, Nathan East (Clapton) on stand-up bass and Dr. John on piano — that remains in the background. King is heartbreakingly intimate on standards like Blind Lemon Jefferson’s “See That My Grave Is Kept Clean” and John Lee Hooker’s “Blues Before Sunrise.” How did the 82-year-old find his old passion? With T Bone Burnett, naturally — the producer whose understated touch helped bring Robert Plant and John Mellencamp into their twilight years with dignity. Those projects were mere dress rehearsals for this one. (review by Mark Kemp, Rolling Stone magazine)
