Riding with the King by B.B. King (CD, 2000)
B. B. King and Eric Clapton  

Excellent condition.

  
Riding with the King is a collaborative album by B.B. King
and Eric Clapton that was released in 2000.

It was their first collaborative album and won the 2000
Grammy Award for Best Traditional Blues Album.

 In 1967 King and Clapton played together for the first
time at Cafe Au Go Go in New York City. 

Clapton was 22 and a member of Cream, but did not
record together until 1997 when King collaborated with
Clapton on the song "Rock Me Baby" for his duets album, Deuces Wild.

Clapton looked up to King and had always wanted
to make an album with him. King said they had discussed the project often, and added: "I admire the man. I think he's No. 1 in rock 'n' roll
as a guitarist and No. 1 as a great person.

 At the time of recording Riding with the King,
Clapton was 55 and King 74. 

While this would appear to be a Clapton
album recorded with King, Clapton gave
center-stage to King, who took the lead on many of the

 songs with his singing and his solos. 

Thank you for looking!
