BB's music is a mix of roots rock with a blues base. BB has always claimed blues to be his first love, but comes from a generation that loves to rock. Their first CD "Blues Had A Baby", was released in 1994 on RCA/BMB and received generous support from radio fans. If you have to categorize the music, it is somewhere between newer artists Kenny Wayne Shepherd and Blues Travelers. But make no mistake, BB Chung King & The Buddaheads are the original LA version!
BB keeps quite busy with the Buddaheads, but also finds time to write, record and produce music for other artists. BB has written songs for blues legends such as Lonnie Brooks, Tinsley Ellis and recently helped Ruth Brown receive a Grammy for her performance of his song "Too Little, Too Late". Then he produced, wrote, engineered and played on B.J. Sharp's Grammy nominated CD "Never Felt No Blues". Her CD reached number 4 in the charts in Europe, without being issued there!
You can also hear the Buddaheads paying tribute to Lowell George. Together with Eddie Money, they perform the title track to the tribute album titled "Rock and Roll Doctor" (a song which appears as a bonus track on the Buddaheads "Live Japan" CD).
"Play Hard", the third full length album, was released in Japan by Kiagan Records. Here in the US, the band is negotiating a new contract and distribution deal. To please the demand of the rest of their fans around the world, they have added some recent songs and the now re-titled, selfmanufactured limited edition CD "In The Mirror", is available and will no doubt become a collectors item.
"Go For Broke" is a breathtaking collection of Rockin' Blues and power packed ballads. "More great Buddaheads music" you say? Yeap. These songs, and many of their other of their tunes can be heard on the web at MP3.com (http://artists.mp3s.com/artists/182/bb_chung_king_and_the_budd.html).
Ready for release, "REAL". Watch for it in days.

B.B. Chung King and The Buddaheads Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Je croise plein de visages, si vides de regards...
Le train bleu s'arrache au sol / et nous sommes emportés
Jeunes et vieux un peu perdus / perdus entre les deux...
J'ai jamais vu plus belle valse, de corps collés, de corps serrés
Nos vêtements mouillés sentent la sueur, la laine
S'entremêlent nos cheveux, nos haleines...
Le train bleu s'arrache au sol / et poursuit sa valse folle
Vers l'appartement vide qui m'attend
Je ne suis qu'une tête dans le troupeau, bien accroché à mon poteau
Je fixe la fille devant moi, elle ne me parlera pas
Le train bleu s'arrache au sol / et nous sommes emportés
Esclaves et amoureux
Perdus entre les deux...
