Riding with the King is a blues album by Eric Clapton and B.B. King released in 2000. The idea for a collaborative album began during the sessions for King's 1997 album Deuces Wild.
The album contains B.B. King classics like "Three O'Clock Blues", "Days of Old", and "Help the Poor" from Live at the Regal. Other tracks include the Big Bill Broonzy-penned "Key to the Highway", Chicago pianist Maceo Merriweather's "Worried Life Blues" and a cover of Isaac Hayes's composition "Hold On, I'm Comin'" originally a 1966 single for Stax Records artists Sam & Dave.
Riding with the King won the 2001 Grammy Award for Best Traditional Blues Album.

Shostakovich: Symphony No. 5 and 9 powers onto the Blu-ray format with an excellent 7.1 mix encoded with the DTS-HD Master Audio codec at a 24/96khz bit and sample rate. This recording is powerful, subtle, exquisite, and rancorous. The violins and lower strings are vivid sweet and airy, woodwinds light and colorful, brass big and powerful, and trumpets blow through the air with power and authority. The sonic picture features a wide arc of musicians situated in an unusual fashion…

This is an another excellent album with Green and pianist Sonny Clark, who along with Sam Jones on bass and Louis Hayes on drums make the foursome. The entire album is fine with "My Favorite Things," an old favorite of Green.
