THE WAGES THAT THEY PAY ME
I SWEAR THAT THEY'RE VERY LIGHT
THEY TAKE OUT A LITTLE FOR THE STATE
A LITTLE MORE FOR UNCLE SAM
HOW CAN I EVER CATCH UP
AND GET MYSELF OUT OF THIS JAM
YES I THINK I'LL MOVE TO THE JUNGLE
MOVE WAY OUT IN THE WOODS

Completely Well [Bluesway, 1969]
A year ago I thought BB King was the greatest live act there was and I've treasured several of his lps, including Live at the Regal and Blues is King, and astute management has succeeded in transforming him into the major star he should have been ten years ago, but his music is not improving. There is no reason why someone as sweet-voiced as BB shouldn't cut his blues with ballads but all too often they lean into schmaltz. This is a good lp, especially on side one. But Live at the Regal is so much better. B

not so big on his 50s records because he was still a little underdeveloped there
