About

My Kind of Blues is the sixth studio album by Chicago Blues player B.B. King and was first released in the US by the label Crown Records (5188, CLP 5188) in 1961. It apparently emanates from a single recording session from about March 3, 1960. A remastered and expanded edition was released in 2003. Two titles are written different on the first release. Track 2 Mr. Pawnbroker was Mr. Pawn Broker and Track 8 Catfish Blues was named Cat Fish Blues.
