B.B. King, Eric Clapton Pairs with B.B. King on Riding with the King: Meeting of Blues Legends Sparks with Inspired Playing, Palpable Chemistry, and Invigorating Mix of Standards and Originals Hear the Grammy-Winning Album in Exceptional Quality: Mobile Fidelity's Numbered-Edition Hybrid SACD Features Two Bonus Tracks and Clear, Detailed Sound Eric Clapton was on a heckuva roll when he teamed with B.B. King on Riding with the King. The British icon boomeranged back into the mainstream in a serious way during the '90s courtesy of a standard-setting "MTV Unplugged" performance, exceptional blues covers set, and a platter of all-original material that became one of the most commercially successful releases of his career. Clapton continued the streak on his first collaborative album, an inspired and inspiring tribute to King that finds both guitarists at the top of their respective games. Sourced from the original master tapes, mastered by engineer Rob LoVerde, housed in mini-LP-style gatefold packaging, and featuring two bonus tracks unavailable on the original versions, Mobile Fidelity's numbered-edition hybrid SACD presents the album in audiophile quality. This reissue showcases the dynamic interplay between the two six-string pioneers with riveting presence and near-visceral physicality. Separation is such that you can both distinguish and pinpoint the melodic sounds of Clapton's Fender Stratocaster and King's Gibson ES-355. Everything from in-the-studio directness to the wiry carry of the duo's oft-amplified strings emerge with pleasing realism. King's sweet lyricism, smooth bends, hallmark vibrato, warm tones, and economical thrift. Clapton's creamy phrasing, thick timbre, expressive pull-ons, and pentatonic scale-based lines. All rendered with extraordinary detail and clarity. Enjoy the ride. Numbered Hybrid Stereo SACD NUMBERED SPECIAL EDITION
