BB King: Ten Long Years (RPM, 1955)This is taken from a fine record that's in your shops now. I'm not much of a fan of all that musical legacy business that artists like BB King inspire - through no fault of their own - but I love this record as I just like the idea of this being chosen as a single release. What a splendid world that must have been. And how full of interesting jukeboxes. Plot-wise, it would appear that, basically, for ten long years this chap had a girlfriend that was, up to a point, rather fine. Then it all went belly-up. In fact, his "baby" has actually gone and only the playing of the guitar and yelling, "Mercy!" is going to help.
Well, whatever gets you get through, old boy.
Maps: Elouise (SixToes Remix) (Mute, 2007)James Chapman from Maps doesn't have a baby - of any years standing, as far as I know - to worry about. But he has just been nominated for the Mercury Music Prize which makes me happy as I've been banging on about him and his brilliant record for a year now. Anyway, this is from his new single. It's very good. I know a rather lovely baby called Elo(u)ise and, happily, I can report she doesn't have six toes. Oh no.
This just in, BB's over it now...
