Live in Cook County Jail — 1971

A fiery prison live peak, home to a definitive 'The Thrill Is Gone'. Electric and beloved. A great live record. A later chapter in B.B. King's catalogue, and still one of the best.

On vinyl: Well-pressed originals still surface at reasonable prices; modern reissues are a safe bet if you want new.
